This time, being able to hold the $CL long position wasn't about having guts, but about not being carried away by the noise. Observed from around 70.08, now it's at 72.27, and +292.02% has given me enough reason to review.
To be honest, there was a moment during the session when I almost wanted to exit early. Because it would pull up then push down, looking very much like a bull trap — many people would choose to take profits at such times. But the key point is that every time it pushed back, it never broke through the critical level. This detail is more important than the surface-level ups and downs.
The real change came after capital started to actively push upward. The rhythm became noticeably smoother. It wasn't a reckless one-sided surge, but a steady pace with turnover along the way, and pullbacks weren't too ugly. I've learned from past losses — the most dangerous thing in an uptrend isn't the retracement, but the sudden urge to want to earn a bit more.
Now for this trade, I'll first stay steady, not getting carried away by +292.02%. Once profits are realized, they must be respected. If it stays strong later, I'll keep a portion to watch. If the rhythm changes, I won't stubbornly hold; I'll wait for a more comfortable entry next time.
