I originally planned to cut my losses to “offer them to the heavens,” but I didn’t end up sacrificing to the sky—the short position itself got cooked.



When the market kept whipsawing during the session, I noticed the suppression above $LAB became increasingly clear. Even though the price was repeatedly pushed higher, the buy-side didn’t keep stepping in. After judging that the rebound was lackluster, I executed the short plan around 4.25647.

Then the price fell back to 0.14757. The profit shown on the screen was +1900.74%—no wasted wait. This kind of gradual downward move is actually better for handling in batches than a sudden plunge.

Don’t be greedy for the last bite. Close the position for +1900.74% first so the profit is locked in, then leave the remaining 26% on the table. Move the stop to around the entry cost. If it continues to weaken, let it naturally extend. If there’s a rebound, you should still prioritize protecting the results you’ve already taken.

Panic happens because there was no plan. Loss happens because you think too much. Even if you only manage to catch a segment—if you can take something away, that’s yours.

Chasing after a drop is easy to get stuck at a low level. If you haven’t boarded yet, don’t rush—there will be more chances later. Wait for the next round of structure confirmation, then act following the signal rhythm.
