This profit has me so nervous and uneasy that I’m afraid the market will react tomorrow and black me. A few days ago before bed it was still bouncing back and forth. In the morning when I opened the chart, $TAO had already made the direction perfectly clear.

When I thought this move was completely hopeless, I went back and looked at the TAO details: every time it rallied, it was tough-going; the selling pressure above never really loosened; volume was weak; and there was no follow-through from the buy side. The rebound looked like it had momentum, but in reality it was more like wearing down the patience of chasing longs.

So I didn’t gamble on a breakout. Instead, I opened a long position around 258.4. When the price moved to 197, the review profit on this short trade was +1146.17%. The first part was dull, but later it paid out very decisively.

Take profits when you can—close 80% first, and keep the remaining 20% protected at the cost basis. If the sell-off continues, let the profits run. Even if a rebound appears, you still need to hold on to the portion you’ve already secured first.

Have a plan before the session, have discipline during the session, and reflect after the session. This isn’t the time to rush. If you miss this leg, don’t worry—watch again when a new structure forms, and act when the next set of signals shows up.
