Market Closure Order: The Longest Trade



At 3:30 AM, the price repeatedly hovered around 4215. I shorted at 4208, with a stop loss set at 4219, and a take profit at 4200.

The special thing about this order is that it had to endure the entire second half of the night, lasting until the Asian session opened.

Between 4:00 AM and 5:00 AM, the price rebounded twice to 4217-4219, just a step away from the stop loss. In the past, I would manually close the position or move the stop loss up, but that night I held back — because the stop loss was set at a technically critical level, not a psychological one. As long as the logic remained unchanged, I let the price run freely outside the stop loss line.

The final reward was: at 6:00 AM, the Asian session opened lower at 4203, and the order was smoothly closed, with a profit of about 5-8 points.

The value of this order isn’t in the profit itself, but in confirming one thing:
· When the direction is right, time will be on your side
· The stop loss is set properly, the rest is left to the market
· The hardest part is still believing in your judgment when the price repeatedly touches the stop loss edge

What the market closure order taught me isn’t how to make money, but how to execute a plan under pressure. Execution itself is the greatest profit.
