I originally just wanted to open the order book and take a quick look, but that glance completely wiped out my drowsiness. While everyone is still watching, $TRUMP has already shown fatigue at the high end—its breakout is slowing more and more, its rebounds are getting shorter and shorter, and the closer the price gets to the upper side, the sell orders start pressing down.

Before the board was fully live, I opened a long around 2.056. My thinking was very clear then: a low-volume rally can’t hold up and continue; if the follow-through isn’t there, don’t force the chase—wait until it actually turns weaker before you follow. Now 1.544 has already delivered the outcome, with a return of +1770.43%. This short has been closed out very cleanly.

Handle the main portion first—close 80%. For the remaining 20%, move the protection level to around the cost basis. If it can still move down, let the profits keep running; if it suddenly bounces back, also hold onto the gains you’ve already locked in.

Don’t grind away your patience in a range and then try to regain dignity in a one-way move. Compounding only works if you stay alive—the cost of impulsiveness is often very heavy. If you miss the position, don’t chase; wait for the next round of more comfortable signals.
