The most common time to fall into bad habits is when watching the charts late at night. Even though you’re already sleepy, once you see $SKHYNIX at a high level that can’t hold, you worry you’ll miss that move. At that time, I waited for a long time around 1737.4. Several times I wanted to act early, but in the end I still held back.

After it finally moved down, from 1737.4 to 1367.9, the short position profit showed +521.79%. This drop looks decisive, but holding it isn’t easy. At some point there was a bounce back, and even then I still kept thinking—should I run first?

To put it plainly, in many short-term futures trades, it’s not so much about who calls it right, but about who can avoid making those extra unnecessary moves. Once the direction is right, the biggest fear is your own restlessness—adding here and cutting there, and messing up a perfectly good position.

My takeaway from this trade is: when you’re sleepy, be less impulsive; when you’re in profit, be less delusional. If you can take what you should take, and then move your protection levels up, it’s far better than guessing wildly at the moment.
