After cashing in this short on $EWY, I'm not particularly excited. The hardest part during the session wasn't seeing the drop, but before it fell, having the conviction to believe that the high-level pressure was real. EWY couldn't break through repeatedly at that time, which already felt off.

Many people overlook a detail: the more it seems about to break out, the easier it is to get pinned down by a reversal. I chose to short near 198.58 also because buying power above couldn't keep up, the rally lacked continuation, and sentiment-driven moves easily lead to trouble.

Later, from 198.58 to 182.42, the pace gradually opened up, and the result came to +199.55%. There was a pullback in between, and I hesitated too, but since the pullback didn't hold the key area, I continued holding according to the original plan.

Now my thinking is simple: don't turn a profitable trade into an emotional one. Protect profits when needed, and the rest depends on whether there's further room to go down. Trading isn't about capturing every last tick; surviving to trade another day matters more.
