Trade Review: Small Reversal Position, Unexpected Gains
This ETH trade was an "unplanned surprise." When the price dipped to a low of 3252, I broke my usual trend trading principles and chose to open a small long position in the opposite direction. Although it went against my trading system, considering the strong support zone between 3250-3270, I decided to try a small position for a test.
After opening the position, the price rebounded as expected, climbing to the 3300 level. When it reached the preset take-profit point, I decisively exited the trade, successfully locking in profits. The key takeaway from this operation is not only the profit itself but also realizing that, under strict risk control, appropriately breaking principles can capture opportunities outside the system.
Of course, the small position also helped me avoid potential risks of counter-trend trading. Moving forward, I will continue to optimize my trading rules, maintaining the core trend trading framework while adding a testing mechanism for key support/resistance levels to make the strategy more flexible.
