In the end, this position still gave the answer. $EWY looked pretty strong in the front, but I always felt that momentum didn’t feel quite natural—rising was lively, but the follow-through kept growing more hesitant. For a book like this, I generally won’t chase orders.

Back then, EWY hovered around 198.58. I didn’t rush in at first; I waited until the rebound weakened before going long. Honestly, I’d rather miss a bit than get on the bus and have my mindset blown up right away.

Later, it moved from 198.58 down to 182.46, and this short trade’s feedback came through—the profit showed +199.3%. The process wasn’t that smooth; there was a nasty rebound in the middle, and I almost started to wonder whether I’d read the chart wrong.

But the hardest part of trading is not letting a few candles lead you by the nose. My view is: when price is under pressure at a high level, don’t rush to prove yourself. Stay alive first, then think about taking meat. And once profits come out, remember to take some off as well.
