In the end, this position still gave the answer. I pulled pretty aggressively before $SIREN , and SIREN also looked quite hot, but I don’t like the kind of trade where everyone thinks it’s steady and then you hop on— the more it looks like consensus, the easier it is to run into a counter-strategy.

What I’m watching for is that familiar feeling from a few attempts up above that couldn’t hold. It feels like baiting people who are chasing longs. I tried going long around 0.04002. At the time, I wasn’t thinking about eating everything in one bite— I just felt the risk-reward was still acceptable.

Later, the price was pushed down from 0.04002 to 0.02812. When I finally came out with +730.38%, I actually wasn’t that excited inside—more like I could breathe easier. Because the biggest fear with trades like this is getting the early direction right, only for yourself to start messing around later.

A lot of friends should understand this: it’s really hard to not chase after you miss it. My view is that if you’re not confident at a high level, don’t force yourself into the excitement. Wait until a comfortable spot to move—then the trade won’t be so passive.
