when trading emini's: do you prefer to 'short' or 'buy'?

when trading emini's: do you prefer to 'short' or 'buy'?..if you think about it and look at your trade record...you probably do one more than the other...
 
Is this a serious question?

anyone with a bias is dead in the daytrading game...PERIOD.

Trade what you see happening, DO NOT have a preference.
 
What kind of question is this? It depends on the market, the setups, the support & resistance etc.

From an economic stand point I guess I'd always prefer the market went up and the country did well but we always need pullbacks.

That might work with the currencies, like CAD. During the last week I have entered 5 paper trades and 2 live trades with a 100% success rate:
  • Buy CAD with 20 tick limit / $200.00.
  • Stop @ 200 ticks / $2000.00.
  • Trades entered about the same time everyday once a day.
  • Risk/Reward ratio 10:1.
Anyone who trades currencies knows that a 20 tick movement in either direction is almost a sure thing many times a day and this trade is best placed during slow times.

That is like asking whether people prefer to 'eat' or 'drink'. Get a brain.
