Markets are down? There is a way you can profit from them.

As traders, we have the ability to generate profits when markets are going down, the same way we would if markets were going up.

Here are 3 tips to help you trade a bearish market:

1. Go short

If you believe a certain asset will go down, open a SELL position by going to the asset’s page, click on trade, and change the switch at the top of the popup to ‘SELL.’

2. Buy the dip

If you believe that this is just a temporary correction, and that markets will revert to gains again soon, you can treat the current prices as a discount of sorts, and invest in the assets you believe will go back up.

3. Invest in the ‘Fear Index’

The VIX index tracks volatility in the market.

Therefore, when markets are volatile, it could present a good trading opportunity.

On eToro, you can invest in the VXX ETF, which tracks the VIX, and lately showed gain of dozens of percentages.

Remember: Up or down, there’s always a way to find a smart investment on the market.
