I did nothing but go to the restroom, and when I came back, the candlesticks had already done the work for me. With green all over the screen, I stared at $AKE ’s order book, and the more I looked, the more something felt off: the rebound was weak, resistance above was obvious, and volume hadn’t followed. I said then that this might be trouble.

Sure enough, just as expected, AKE headed straight down. The short entered at 0.0071993 is now at 0.0069017, +109.64%. This profit feels great—everyone on board should have woken up laughing.

I adjusted the position along the way: first close 80% and take the profit, rather than getting greedy for the last bite. Move the stop-loss on the remaining 20% to breakeven and let the profits run; there’s no need to fear a pullback, and profits should be taken when the time is right.

Now is not the time to chase. Wait for a more comfortable entry in the next round and stay tuned. Have a strategy before the session, discipline during it, and reflect afterward.
