Review this trade. $USELESS moved sideways from a high point, then broke down and pressed lower—the rhythm was actually clear, it’s just that there was too much noise during the process. Everyone was watching the rebound ahead of time; what I cared about was whether, after the rebound, it could hold its ground. The chart gave a very cold answer.

After going short around 0.07658, I didn’t rush to watch short-term fluctuations. The key was this: as long as the retest doesn’t bounce back and regain the level, the short-side structure is still intact. After that, price kept getting pushed down to 0.06899. Current profit is +488.62%. The market’s downside expansion has already played out for a while.

This kind of downside-trading profit is the biggest test of execution. When opening, you’re afraid of stepping into the wrong move; when in profit, you’re afraid of making too little. The market is designed to harvest this kind of hesitation. My approach is simple: first take back initiative, take partial profits, and keep the remaining position with a protective level—then see whether it can continue to extend further down.

Now don’t start chasing just because you see profit. Don’t miss trades by stopping yourself from following the wrong setup—be patient and wait for a more comfortable position to act.
