On a weekend morning, I watered the flowers on the balcony. The water from the watering can splashed onto the leaves, shimmering in the light.



My phone was propped up on the railing, its screen glowing. $ETH The 200x long position is still running—entered at 1651; now it’s at 1867. Unrealized profit is 2282%.

I kept watering and didn’t rush to check. Once the flowers were done and I put the watering can back in the corner, I picked up my phone and took a look. The numbers were still jumping.

This trade was entered in the early hours. Back then, the market had been chopping sideways for a long time; it kept probing around 1650, but each time it dipped, it was pulled back up. On the third time it retraced to 1651, I went long, 200x, and set my stop-loss at 1630. Then I went to sleep.

When I woke up, the price was already at 1800.

While watering, I thought: I can hold this position—not because I’m bold, but because I figured it out before entering. 1650 is the prior swing low; after three retracements it still didn’t break, which means someone is propping it up. Even though 200x is aggressive, the stop-loss is only a $20 loss—so the room for error is enough.

After the flowers were finished, the trade was basically over too.

Sir, with such great talent, it’s a pity you don’t write books.

I record every losing trade—why I entered, why I didn’t set a stop-loss, and what my mindset was like at the time. A week later, when I look back through it, I find that most of the losses are because of “feeling like it would go up”—I never waited for the actual signal and just blindly guessed based on emotion. After that, I completely removed the two words “feeling” from my trading dictionary.

With such high unrealized profit, it’s a pity that it’s still not even $500 😅
