👉 Retractions, also known as back-to-back trades or back-to-front trades, are a type of trading strategy where an investor buys into a stock at a premium price and sells it at a discount price. The goal is to buy the stock before its full value is realized and then sell it at a profit. The term "retractions" refers to the process by which the market moves in response to such trades, often with the intention of shorting or buying back into the position.
