Pre-Trade Checklist: Answer These 7 Questions Before Placing an Order
In the crypto market, many traders have had experiences like these:
They see the market rising, worry about missing out, and rush into a trade.
They see the price falling, worry their losses will grow, and change their stop-loss on the spot.
After making a few profitable trades in a row, they start increasing their position size.
After a loss, they rush to make the money back on their next trade.
Viewed individually, each decision seems to have its own reason.
But when you look at them together, one problem becomes clear:

$SNDK I nailed $SNDK 's post-opening move again tonight. Although I didn't give a trade call for SanDisk, my predictions for post-opening moves have been spot-on both days: yesterday, I predicted in the livestream that SanDisk would rise after opening; tonight, I predicted it would fall. Sure enough, it plunged after opening tonight, dropping more than 5%. Anyone who listened carefully to me in the livestream should know

$AVAX AVAXUSDT The beginning of a recovery; following some decline
The price is moving within a descending channel on the one-hour timeframe. It has reached the lower boundary and is now poised for a rebound, suggesting the potential for an upward move upon retesting this level.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates a downward trend; however, an upward breakout is likely, given that the price has reached "oversold" levels on the one-hour chart.
An orange trendline further supports the possibility of an upward rebound.
There is an initial support level at 9.08, which serves as a prelimina

This rally came fast and decisively, and the market has shifted gears!
Bitcoin surged all the way up, touched 83894, then began to pause slightly. It is now at 83748, digesting profit-taking at the highs.
Does this mean a one-way rally is starting? Don’t jump to conclusions just yet!
After a sharp surge like this, the market is most prone to whipsaws. Chasing in risks catching a pullback, while shorting could easily get stopped out by another push higher. It looks hot, but in reality bulls and bears are battling it out at the highs. $BTC

10/21 market validation:
The ETH entry shared this afternoon (long at 2452, stop-loss at 2425) pulled back after reaching a little over a 1:1 risk-reward ratio. This proves what I’ve been sharing with everyone on livestreams over the past few days: “If you’re a day trader, use a 1:1 risk-reward ratio and trading conditions with a higher win rate, and your overall results should still be pretty good in the long run!”
At this point, I’m still choosing to hold my position, risking a stop-out in hopes of a somewhat better risk-reward ratio. What do you think—will Jiu-ge turn this bike into a motor

BTC long from 81000 is currently around 83800. Recommend closing 80% of the position, keeping a breakeven stop on the remainder, and taking profit on the entire position at 84500; place short orders in advance in the 85200-85500 range, with a stop around 86500 and initial targets at 83800-82500$BTC
For ETH, recommend opening shorts at 2525-2538, with a stop around 2580 and successive targets at 2470-2420-2385$ETH
A lot of people have been asking: Now that we’re starting to short, does that mean we’re completely bearish?
