DAY 6 RESULTS — $20 TO $10,000 CHALLENGE!
My dear Sats ❤️
Yesterday, I shared 6 trades. 2 trades closed in profit, and the remaining 4 were running in profit now.
But things didn’t go exactly as planned yesterday. Bitcoin suddenly reversed toward $70,000, and all of our short positions moved into losses.
I’m not gonna lie, I was really frustrated with myself at that moment. 😤
I kept asking myself…
Why does the same thing keep happening to me?
Even after spending time analysing the charts, understanding market conditions, and taking trades based on proper setups, why am I still facing these situations?
After thinking about it thoroughly, I realised something important.
Trading isn’t just about making the right prediction. It’s about following the right process.
We need to build our trading plan before entering a position, execute it with discipline, and give the setup enough time to work.
If market behaviour changes and our original idea becomes invalid, we should adjust our plan based on clear signals, not emotions.
But here’s another mistake I noticed in our challenge.
We’re mixing scalping and swing trading!
And guys, these are two completely different strategies.
Scalping requires quick entries, quick exits, and constant attention.
Swing trading requires patience, wider price movements, and the ability to handle temporary corrections.
When we mix both without a clear plan, things become confusing.
Sometimes we’re entering with a scalping mindset but holding positions like swing traders. That’s where our discipline starts breaking down.
I believe it’s better to choose one trading strategy, master it, and follow it consistently.
Profits are important, but learning from our mistakes is equally important.
Tell me in comments — should we focus on scalping or swing trading for the rest of this challenge?
I want to hear your opinions!
Yesterday, I didn't make much profit; I closed some trades at a loss and a few at a profit.
Today is 4th day of the challenge, I managed to take my $20 to $32. The result may be good, but it is not satisfying.
I thought at the beginning that daily 10-15% ROI would be easy, but in reality, it is a bit harsh, just like our CRYPTO market. I am still thinking about whether we can make $10,000 or not. But I am not taking a step back. All we need to do is find the ways, one way or another, to make it. Right?
I am thinking about writing a personal trades journal. To get better ideas, to find mistakes, to correct ourselves, and to be responsible for our actions.
