$JCT My order at 0.0019 didn't fill, and I watched it climb all the way to 0.0028.



Reviewing this trade: Yesterday afternoon, I noticed $JCT trading sideways on declining volume around 0.0019, so I placed a buy-the-dip order. But overnight, it broke out on a surge in volume, with 24h trading volume hitting 147.9M and a gain of 18.72%. My order missed by one tick. I’d be lying if I said it didn’t sting, but discipline is discipline—if it doesn’t hit my price, it doesn’t hit my price. Chasing is not part of my plan.

The price is now 0.0023, already 12% above the 24h low. I won’t chase at this level. Plan: buy the dip in batches if it retests 0.0020-0.0021, with a stop-loss at 0.0018 (exit if it breaks below the previous low), take-profit at 0.0026 for the first target and near the previous high of 0.0028 for the second. Keep the position size under 20%. If it doesn’t retest, I’ll stay out and wait. If I miss it, I miss it.

One lesson: You can place buy-the-dip orders half a tick higher than expected; don’t miss the whole move just to save a few points. But I can’t afford to chase a pump, not even once.

No trading outside the plan. #每周来晒 #Gate股票畅聊季

The 0.0019 level didn’t get filled, but how much of that 147.9M volume do you think was wash trading? This coin’s liquidity is thinner than that of some blue chips on Blur. Whether this is a real breakout or a fakeout depends on whether there’s still buying support tomorrow morning

It’s common for grid orders to sit half a grid step too low; I set up automatic laddering
