Brothers, I need to review this set of trades today.

First, to be honest, the earlier long positions were pierced and stopped out.
BTC long entered around 61147, exited at 60883, loss of 304U.
The ETH long also didn’t hold up: entered around 1638, exited at 1628, loss of 213U.
There was also another ETH long afterward, from 1627 to 1622, loss of 175U.

There’s nothing much to “wash” out with these trades.
The idea was to catch the rebound, but the market didn’t give any mercy—one spike and the stop-loss has to be accepted.
At times like this, many people are most prone to get sick mentally:
They don’t accept it after losing, start averaging in, start holding on, and start trying to reason with the market.
I didn’t do that.

A stop-loss is a stop-loss.
Discipline comes first—only then can there be the next shot.

Later, when I rechecked the chart, I found the rebound didn’t continue and support wasn’t held. The bulls weren’t strong—they were just stubbornly propping things up.
So I didn’t argue with it. I flipped directly to short.

BTC short: shorted from 61676 to 61131, profit of 154U.
ETH short: shorted from 1637 to 1620, profit of 112U.
Short ETH again in the afternoon: from 1632 to 1621, profit of 203U.
BTC short again: from 61439 to 61221, profit of 89U.

These short trades made up a lot of the damage from the previous long positions.
Today’s market gave me a very direct lesson:
It’s not that you’re done after you misread just one trade—the real killer is misreading and then still dying-hard holding on.
I accept it when the longs get pierced.
But when the chart changes, I change with it.
Trading isn’t about falling in love—there’s no need to be wholeheartedly loyal to one direction.

The most important thing today isn’t how much you make or how much you lose.
It’s that the earlier hit didn’t make me go off the rails.
After I clearly saw things later, I dared to reverse.
That’s the most valuable part of trading.

One-sentence recap:
A long got pierced once—discipline saved a life;
The shorts recovered the pace—the account didn’t get out of control.
