A few days ago in the afternoon, I thought this move was completely done for. Then suddenly the chart flipped the short-seller script. $ALT kept probing back and forth in the high zone. On the surface it looked like it was building momentum, but in reality each time it tried to push higher, it always lacked that last bit of strength. The moment sell orders came out, the bid clearly got weak. When I watched ALT, it was already very clear there wasn’t enough support, so I didn’t get taken for a ride by that little rebound. I executed a long near 0.008374 and waited for it to reveal a crack by itself.

Now the current price is 0.005762. This realization record is +766.05%, and this short position was closed cleanly and decisively.

First, put the main portion into the pocket: close 80% now. Leave the remaining 20% for follow-through, and move the protective level to around the cost basis at the same time. If it continues to drop further, let the profits run. If a rebound shows up, don’t turn the winning into an emotional game.

Profit doesn’t get inflated, and drawdowns don’t become hopeless. For trades you’re not confident about, take a look and stay clear-headed—one reckless chase and you’ll be making a mistake. Chasing late makes it easy to get stuck at the top of the hill; wait for the next signal and then act.
