Trading logic
The 1-hour MACD histogram expands, indicating the bigger trend is bullish.
A typical double-bottom structure forms on the 15-minute timeframe.
Clear buy-side support appears around 3975, confirming there is buying strength.
Follow the 1-hour trend and go long at 3981.
Risk control
Stop-loss is set at 3969, below the double-bottom, which is a structural stop.
Take-profit is set at 4001; the reason is that there is clear selling pressure at the 4000 whole-number level, and the previous high at 4008 was not effectively broken with a closing close above it.
Psychological reflection
Before entering, stay rational and keep a clear trading logic.
During the position, the mindset is slightly positive, but it does not affect execution discipline.
After taking profit, accept the reality that I didn’t capture the full move, and I’m satisfied with the result.
Lessons learned
This trade is trend-following:
Confirm direction on 1H, find the entry on 15M.
Only earn the money that belongs to your trading system—not try to capture all the market’s profit.
This is a high-quality A-grade trade.
