A few days ago, I almost didn’t hold this $AVAX . After the move stalled around 6.582, the price didn’t drop right away—instead, it chopped back and forth a few times. That feeling was really torturing. Even though the direction hadn’t changed, my hand kept itching to close the position early.

Old-timers all know this: the most annoying part of contracts is watching you’re right on the direction, but getting worn down by the chop until your patience runs out. At the time, I didn’t overthink it. I just kept watching whether the price could regain and hold above—if it couldn’t get back up, then the short would keep getting held.

Later, the price slowly pressed down to 6.437. The floating profit showed +157.39%. That’s when I finally turned the earlier discomfort into results. But honestly, you still can’t get carried away after you’re in profit—short profits can give back just as fast.

My own view is: if you can take some, take some. The rest is about whether it gives you room. Trading doesn’t mean you have to catch the whole move every single time. Staying calm when you should is already better than many impulsive trades.
