When I was watching $EWY in the morning, the hardest part wasn’t that it dropped, but that period of fake strength right before the dip. The price hovered around 198.58 for half a day—looked like someone wanted to push it higher, but every time they pushed up, nobody was willing to keep lifting the cart.



I’ve lost money on this kind of setup before. Seeing one bullish candle, I’d be afraid of missing out, then I chased in—only to get slammed the other way. Today I only waited for it to face pressure at the high, and after confirming the level above couldn’t be held, I went short. Later it rallied to 168.61, and my unrealized profit ran to +369.59%.

This trade made money, but it wasn’t smooth all the way. Those snap bounces make it easy to want to get out early—especially when a short position gets a pullback, your mind can get extremely irritated.

My current handling is simple: with profit, first keep control. If there’s a protection level, follow it. When the market hands out meat, don’t complain it’s not much—the worst thing is getting greedy while making money, and ending up with a whole bunch of busy work for nothing.
