After this time, when the long position in $AAVE finally played out, I actually felt relieved. I’d been watching from around 90.26 up to now near 99.38, and the +713.52% move has already shown up—meaning this waiting wasn’t in vain.

Honestly, the hardest part in the middle is not chasing, not cutting, and not changing direction randomly. When the market goes sideways, people tend to doubt themselves; when someone calls for a pullback, your hand wants to hit close. In short-term futures, many losses aren’t because of being wrong on direction—they’re because you kept getting bounced around and lost patience.

I didn’t treat this as a perfect trade; I just got the timing roughly right. I was able to get the feedback because I didn’t just bail out casually during the hardest moment.

Right now, I have only one idea: put part of the profit into your pocket first, and don’t force the rest. If the upside comes, just take what you can—there’s no need to turn every segment into an obsession.
