When I used to short, I would always make one common mistake: the moment I saw a little profit, I would fear a rebound—so I’d end up getting out too quickly. Now when I encounter a high-level, heavily pressured market like $RE , I’ll take a couple extra looks at the rebound’s quality.

This time, it started weakening from around 0.71099. The middle wasn’t smooth at all—pushing down and then pulling back in turn, which is really wearing. Later, when the price reached 0.52701, the return rate showed +509.5%, and only then did this trade truly bring the downside potential to fruition.

Put simply, in short-term perpetual contracts, what you earn is about rhythm—not wishful thinking. When the market gives you profit, the biggest danger is suddenly thinking you can eat the entire move, only to have a single rebound candle throw off your mindset.

So I won’t get too greedy on this trade. Take profit where it should be taken first; then keep the rest with a protective level. I’d rather make a little less than lose the rhythm I’ve already secured.
