For the ETH longs entered at 2280, most of the positions were taken profit on near 2300, and the remaining base position was exited around the cost basis near 2280. A friend asked why I didn’t continue holding to fight it out for more—here’s my trading logic:

The core of short-term trading is not about trying to squeeze every last bit of profit from each move. When the market direction isn’t clear, the priority is to lock in existing gains, and to control risk by stopping out near the cost basis line. The market’s next second can never be predicted. Rather than using the profits you’ve already secured to bet on an uncertain upside, it’s better to take the profits and secure them first.

In the crypto market, those who can survive long term are often not the ones who chase profit maximization every time, but traders who can protect their principal and control drawdowns. Going forward, I’ll keep an eye on how ETH performs at key levels; if there’s a clear opportunity to enter, I’ll share it promptly. Welcome to stay tuned—let’s move forward steadily together and avoid traps. $BTC $GT $ETH
