A few days ago, while watching the charts, I already noticed some changes. $WLD was capping off above and wouldn’t move up, and in the comments many people were still calling for everyone to keep “boarding.” I’ve been burned by this kind of situation before, so this time I didn’t join in the excitement and rush in.

What I cared more about was that WLD’s rebounds happened a few times but never showed real strength—like someone was deliberately hanging sentiment there. Later, when it neared 0.4331, I opened a long position, but I wasn’t much more confident either, because shorts are most afraid of a fake-out.

After the market moved down to 0.4179, the profit only slowly started to come through, and the return display showed +250.66%. In the middle, I didn’t stubbornly hold on all the way. When I saw the rhythm was working, I followed up by moving my protection, so I wouldn’t end up so passive.

Many friends should have run into this too: even if you’ve got the direction right, in the end you still get shaken out by a rebound pullback. My idea is simple—don’t chase after you miss it, and don’t get greedy even if you’re holding. On short-term trades, you make money off timing and rhythm, not fantasies.
