A few days ago, before bed, I was still hesitating whether to act. But as soon as the market tightened and the price action dropped, the shorts immediately took over the tempo. The price kept trying to surge upward at higher levels, but nobody would step in, and the volume didn’t keep up either. I concluded this wasn’t a strong breakout, but rather pressure after a bull trap, and then I promptly signaled a short entry around 0.4076.

Now the price is at 0.3847, and this trade’s return is +398.64%. The answer has already been given—no wasted waiting through that night. Even though it was frustrating earlier, once it truly dropped, the shorts’ tempo was very decisive. This profit has been a comfortable one to take.

First, close 80%, with the bulk going into your pocket. Keep the remaining 20%, move the protection level to around the break-even point, and if it keeps dumping further, let the profits run. If there’s a rebound, don’t give back the profit you’ve already locked in.

Having no position isn’t a crime—reckless entries are the mistake. Chasing the drop is easy to get punished by a rebound. If you didn’t get in, don’t rush; wait for the next round at a more comfortable level. When new signals come in, then make your move.
