Positive/negative terrain could be described as high/low ground . It's as though the good trading (up) were a place. A flat (sour) note simply means that all is not rosy.

Thank you Avangi.
But I still can't understand it.
May I know what you mean by "good trading up were a place"? It might help me to understand it.

If I told you that trading in the stock market was bad yesterday but good today, I'd mean it was negative yesterday and positive today. The regular traders were losing money yesterday, but they were making money today.
Suppose I want to be picturesque, and describe "losing money" as a bad place, and making money as a good place. Where could those places be?
Actually, they exist only on
