The short position idea for this coin, PLAY, is actually not a problem; looking in reverse, it almost reached the preset take-profit level. An interesting phenomenon is: even when the trading idea and direction judgment are correct, the profits don't keep up. The fundamental reason often lies in the entry stage.
Market price, limit price, entry timing—these three factors seem simple, but in reality, they require multiple trades to refine continuously. Many people miss out on profits, and the core reason is here. Whether it's a short or long position, a slight difference in the entry point often determines the final profit and loss experience. Instead of worrying about whether the direction is right or not, it's better to spend time reviewing each entry decision—what price was used, why choose market or limit at that point, and what the market environment was like at the time. Through repeated iteration like this, the ability to enter positions can gradually improve.

That's right, missing the perfect entry point by just a little makes all the difference. My recent short position on PLAY is also a lesson from this; the direction was correct, but I just couldn't catch the profit.

Damn it, it's that old problem of messing up the entry point again. This time, PLAY couldn't escape the fate either.

That's right, having the right direction doesn't help if you're still losing out at the entry point.

Alright, no problem. Entering the market is indeed a bottleneck.
