This trade wasn’t made by impulse—it was signaled by those fake breakouts at the high. $WLD surged at the time and looked very strong, but the volume couldn’t keep up. The order book got pressed and it fell apart; a lot of people chased in and only then realized something was off.

My focus is simple: can the pullback hold. If it can’t, it means the sell pressure overhead is still there. After opening a short around 0.4076, the price kept releasing downward; it’s now at 0.3916. You’re up +278.53%—when this kind of volatility opens up, execution matters more than fantasies.

After a short is profitable, don’t trade yourself back into it. If you’re holding a position, remember to protect your profits. Doing it in batches with an 80/20 split is steadier. Keep the remaining position with a protective level and see whether it keeps weakening. The market loves to punish greed—especially people who want to swallow it all in one go after racking up profits on a decline.

If you didn’t get in, don’t chase. Wait for the pullback to be confirmed, and wait for a more comfortable entry.
