Brothers, these past couple of days with Bitcoin, I'll briefly explain my trading approach.
BTC hasn't been steadily climbing these days, right?
The most annoying part of this kind of market is that it doesn't give you a clear direction all at once, but instead moves up and down, messing around.
My approach here is very simple:
When it drops, I reduce my position; when it rises, I add to my position.
Not blindly adding, nor stubbornly holding.
It's about adjusting the position and average price gradually according to the market rhythm.
Initially, the average price was around 61,500.
Later, as Bitcoin kept climbing, I didn't hold onto a single position without moving, but adjusted as it moved.
When the price dropped to a low point, I first cut some, so the position wouldn't be too uncomfortable.
As the price pushed back up and reached a level where I could add, I replenished the short position.
Following this method, the average price of my short position on BTC gradually rose from around 61,500 to about 62,700.
Many brothers might find this approach hard to understand.
You might think I’m randomly adding to my position, but that’s not it.
The real core is: making the position active.
If you hold onto a short at 61,500 and the price keeps climbing, your mindset will definitely be blown.
But if you take profits, reduce your position, and re-enter at higher levels, then this isn’t stubbornly holding on; it’s adjusting the average price.
Of course, this approach has prerequisites.
First, don’t over-leverage your position.
Second, you need to know which resistance level you’re shorting.
Third, you must accept small losses or gains along the way; don’t try to maximize every trade.
Trading isn’t like riding an elevator.
It’s not about entering and then closing your eyes, waiting for the outcome.
Especially with Bitcoin, if you do nothing, it will torment you; if you act recklessly, it will also take you down.
So my mindset these past two days can be summarized in one sentence:
When it drops, reduce; when it rises, add; and gradually move the average price to a comfortable level.
Now that the average price is around 62,700, the initiative is much better than at 61,500.
Next, it depends on whether Bitcoin can continue to hold above the level.
If it can’t hold steady, then the short position has room to play; if it breaks through strongly, then you have to accept it.
Brothers, remember, trading isn’t about pressing buttons randomly.
Trading is about making your position more comfortable, not about proving your stubbornness.
