Today’s $RE short position—the hardest part was that sideways grinding before the move. Watching orders keep pressing from above, but the price still wouldn’t drop cleanly, is exactly how people get worn down and end up doubting themselves in this kind of spot.

What I was watching was the pressure/resistance around 0.71099. I didn’t expect it to straight-line drop in a single candle—once the high can’t hold, the short side still has a shot. Later, when the price moved to 0.53825, the figure on my account showed +478.37%, and this leg provided the confirmation.

In the middle, I actually had the thought of closing early too—especially during those few snapbacks, which makes it particularly easy to get shaken out. Old traders know it: if you’re right about the direction but you don’t hold the position, sometimes it feels even worse than being wrong.

This trade isn’t about flexing for me. More than anything, it’s a reminder to myself: in a range, don’t let a few countertrend snapbacks lead you by the nose. Once the profit is in, set your protection level first—don’t let a handy, “easy” trade turn into an emotional one.
