I got back up again. When the time came, I woke up on my own between 4 and 6 a.m. and entered a BTC long at 64,434.2!
I had a great time having dinner with my students last night. I drank too much, and they took me back to the office. I took a look at the trend and thought it was going to fall, so I entered a short! I didn't even take a screenshot; I told them about it, so they know! I went short and then fell asleep, but I had already trained myself to have muscle memory—I had to set a stop-loss, and this time I set a take-profit. Then I woke up after 1 a.m. and saw that the take-profit had been hit, so I messaged Honghong and said it had hit take-profit. But I couldn't remember placing the trade earlier. I guess I had drunk too much and blacked out. Still, I thank God that this trade didn't lose money and even made a profit. I had another trade like this before: I fell asleep, and the market maker wicked the price into my stop-loss. If I had seen it, I would have continued trading, but because I didn't see it, the stop was hit and I didn't re-enter. I missed the subsequent drop and ended up taking a hard loss. Then I went back to sleep.
Sure enough, I woke up on my own around 4 a.m. and saw that the price was suitable, so I entered a long. While eating, I predicted that the U.S. session would open with a drop to around 640 before rising to around 652. I got the drop right—it reached 641—but it didn't rise to 652. It failed to break 650 and reached around 650 six times. This kind of movement means it can't go higher. Honghong also told me in the afternoon that he thought it was a resistance level, while I said the drop was caused by the low trading volume during the European session. He said, "Coach, you're wrong." I said, "Yes, my prediction was wrong this time." I went short and closed the trade myself. But you can't make a definite judgment based on just this one instance. ETH wicked to 2,100 four times and still fell to over 1,300. We only respond to the market and execute according to our trading system—don't try to guess.
While I was sleeping, I dreamed about being at VC and visiting the mountains to interact with children. Their faces were full of smiles! I woke up, which reminded me of what Honghong said in the afternoon: We have to keep making money so that our families can live better, and then give more back to society. He showed me a video from Douyin, and I thought it was great! Damn, these values are completely aligned with mine and BTB's investment research values. More than one student has said this to me already. Keep working hard to make money! But stay low-key and don't publicize it. It's not for traffic; it's just for inner peace! Earn money through our own abilities and give back to society. The financial industry is a zero-sum game, and there is too much hostility. I have videos on my phone of us doing charity work. I'll show them to Honghong tomorrow. Sometimes when I feel discouraged and helpless, I also look back at them to motivate myself!
Keep going, my skinny little dog!
