Swing Trading as a bear?

I wonder how much of you guys are bears?

Like real bears, who trade only on downside no matter trend direction.


Do you have a community? What are the stats, setups, risk reward. How much stocks do you follow to focus? I want to learn and understand, not really join.

Am I right on a setup - wait for bearish candle, enter below it with SL above? If original structure confirms - take one more trade? 1to1 in an uptrend is an OK bear trade, 1to1.5 is a joy and 1to2 is a dance on a table?

Why do I ask - I believe to see a proof on many charts that it should be quite a lot of swing trade bears even on wild upswings. I can't reason the structure and strength of pullbacks just by profit taking by bulls. And I don't think scalpers or daytraders can cause a main structure break, although falling drops make rivers.

Or it is just algos trading, that would also make sense...

But my thesis is - a pullback or a correction ends, when all bears are happy and well fed :)
