#BinanceABCs Yesterday, I opened a $ETH short position at 2970. The initial target was 2700, with a stop loss at 3050. To be honest, the market almost broke through 3000, and I was a bit shaken. When someone nearby reminded me, I changed my take profit from the original plan to 2900.



And what happened? The market kept falling to 2797, and my 2900 take profit order was already filled. I watched it continue downward, missing out on about 100 points of profit. That moment really hurt. Next time, I won’t let others’ chatter affect my rhythm.

But on second thought, entering at 2970 and exiting at 2900, a 70-point gain, is pretty good. The screenshots are right here—this is our actual profit.

The next variable is Japan’s upcoming interest rate hike. What do you all think about this move? How will the market react? I’ll keep waiting for a good entry point. Once I find it, I’ll share the profits with everyone. The key is to stay disciplined, patient, and not rush.

This is the joy of being played people for suckers repeatedly by nagging, and next time I'll have to continue being played.

Oh no, just one comment from someone and it gets changed? This bad habit really needs to be fixed.

Oh no, being led astray by others is the most frustrating. Stay calm and keep your mindset next time.

Oh no, I totally understand how being affected by nagging can impact your mood. It's just a hundred points of regret away.

Holding onto 70 points steadily is already good enough, don't overthink it.

70 points is just enough? I was comforting myself the same way that day, haha, but I later realized I still need to maintain the right mindset.

Being affected by constant nagging is really a big taboo, you're so right about that. Next time, I must grow a pair of ear calluses.

---

The Japanese interest rate hike feels like it will shake up the entire game board. There might be big moves in the market then.

---

Missing out on 100 points is really heartbreaking, but breaking even is fine. At least I didn't get liquidated, right?

---

Being calm and patient sounds comfortable, but when it comes to the actual point, you still need strong mental resilience, haha.

---

Closing at 2900 was a bit early, but not losing money is good enough. As long as it turns into a profit, it's all good.

Is Japan really going to raise interest rates? Should we prepare in advance?
