In the course of a trade, what’s most worth recording is often not the outcome, but why, at the time, you dared to keep trusting that judgment.

$OPN This drop didn’t show up out of nowhere. Earlier, around 0.0886, there were already signs of weakening in the price, and as it moved on to 0.0643, the feedback became increasingly clear. The return rate was +1320.81%, which counts as confirmation of the timing.

My trading habit is to look at risk first, then at room for movement. In a downtrend, the thing most likely to make people hesitate is a mid-way rebound. But as long as the structure hasn’t changed, there’s no need to be pulled along by short-term emotions.

Recording this as well is a reminder to myself not to let the result go to my head. The market changes every day—staying clear-minded is more important than catching a single bout of volatility.
