The Reward of Trust: From Worry to Profit, We Steadily Took This Short Position

Just now, a brother who followed my trades sent me a message. His words were filled with relief and excitement. An hour ago, he was still watching the candlestick chart with growing anxiety, afraid that ETH would suddenly turn upward and sweep this short position to stop-loss. And what happened? We took this trade steadily together and achieved an on-the-record real profit of 195.08 USDT, with a return rate of 102.40%.

Let’s do a quick review of this freshly issued settlement order: #Gate现货交易量增幅全球第一

· Instrument: ETHUSDT perpetual contract
· Direction: full position short, 100x leverage
· Entry average price: 1710.83
· Exit average price: 1690.35
· Profit: 195.08 USDT (return rate 102.40%)
· Time taken: from 10:13 AM to 11:15 AM—just over an hour $ETH ‌

Behind this trade, there are a few points I want to chat with all my friends who follow me:

1. About the psychology of “worrying it will rise” #SpaceX市值超越微软跻身全球前五

I fully understand this brother’s concern. When shorting, the biggest fear is a V-shaped reversal in the market—watching unrealized profit shrink, or even turn green. But why did I choose to open the short at this position and hold firmly?

Looking back at the market at that time, there was clear pressure testing above 1710, and the short-term rebound momentum was insufficient. Our entry was placed right at the pullback turning-point area. Trading isn’t about feelings—it’s about a plan. Since the stop-loss level in the plan wasn’t hit, then let the profit run, rather than being driven into an early exit by fear.

2. About the core logic of this trade

This trade wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision. When I opened the position at 10:13, there were already signs of top divergence on the hourly timeframe. The closing time was chosen for 11:15, exactly when the price probed down to around the 1690 support level and the short-term momentum began to fade. We enter based on signals, and we exit based on discipline—we neither greedily grabbed the absolute lowest point, nor did we rush to take profit at the very start of the decline.

3. Position management under high leverage

Seeing 100x leverage and a 102% return, some people might think this is aggressive. But pay attention to another data point: close volume / maximum position amount = 17,496.82 / 17,496.82. This means the position was fully utilized, but the total position value was kept within a reasonable range. For those with a high risk appetite, this type of trade is built on a strict stop-loss plan. If you don’t have the discipline to set stop-losses, don’t imitate this multiple.

A reminder for new friends #沃什首秀美联储利率不变

The reason this brother was able to hold on isn’t because he’s brave, but because he chose to trust—trust based on a trading system that we’ve repeatedly verified. In the contracts market, trust isn’t blind obedience; it’s a consensus on trading logic. $GT

This trade has already been executed. The market will still bring new opportunities ahead. If you want to keep up with the pace, be sure to remember this: I lead the trades—you set the stop-loss. We earn from probabilities, not from gambling.

Congratulations to this brother, and congratulations to all friends who strictly follow the plan. Next trade, we’ll continue to move forward steadily. $BTC
