Yesterday's trading pressure was indeed significant. BTC surged all the way up, and I followed the established range and timing logic to place orders—above 96,000, I would add two layers of positions every 1,000 points increase. This strategy worked pretty well during execution.

On the ETH side, I told everyone to short at 3400, but it opened at a high level. Same with SOL, short at 148, also near the top. Honestly, the entry points for these two coins were not ideal.

My ETH short was trapped for a while, and I didn't take profit in time yesterday. Later, the market reversed, and I held passively for a while, but today I finally managed to recover. Looking at this trend, I decided to sell off a large part of my positions to lock in profits.

To be honest, a few people scolded me last night, and I still feel a bit upset. But trading is like this—there are gains and losses, and there's nothing to justify. Maybe some words of encouragement would be nice.

1. Sticking to the strategy means accepting this. The logic of adding to BTC on that dip is fine, but ETH and SOL entering the market did indeed underperform. Still, as long as we can hold on, it's okay. 2. Don't pay attention to those who talk trash. Trading is inevitably risky, but the key is that today you managed to run your positions. That’s the professionalism of a seasoned trader. 3. I just want to ask, if every thousand-point rise from 96,000 adds two layers, how do you hold if it drops? But the way this strategy is executed is still somewhat interesting. 4. Shorting ETH at 3400 and entering at a high level was unlucky, but being able to hold through the drawdown is real skill. I truly respect that. 5. Everyone knows there are wins and losses, but the question is, would you dare to trade like this in the next market condition? Or change your strategy? 6. The people criticizing you last night are actually just those whose positions got blown up. Taking profits and staying safe is more stable—don’t take it to heart. 7. Honestly, entering SOL at 148 was quite risky, but at least I made it to today. That’s good enough. 8. The idea behind the BTC add-on was clear, at least logically consistent. As for ETH and SOL, consider it tuition fees—anyway, not getting wiped out means winning.

Hey, the entry point was a bit off, but it still held and came back in the end. This is what a trader looks like. Getting criticized but still continuing to do it—much better than those who just talk big. Hang in there. Being trapped in a short position during that period was really uncomfortable. Anyway, as long as you come out alive, you’ve won. If someone is criticizing you, it just means they’re watching you. Don’t mind the noise, just keep doing your thing. This time, took profit in time. Come back tomorrow and keep going. No big deal.

This is the crypto world. The entry point is just a hair's breadth away from a world of difference. This wave of BTC was indeed well-timed, while ETH and SOL can be considered as paying tuition fees. There's no need to take the criticism to heart; after all, it was all recovered. This is what winning looks like.

Alright, yesterday's wave was indeed a bit fierce, but your logic still holds up. Everyone has experienced opening a short position too high, it's nothing to be ashamed of. The key is to recover today. People are like that, no one complains when making money, but as soon as they lose, a bunch of people come out to show off their presence, which is very annoying. Don't pay attention to those distractions; stick to your own rhythm. Trading is just like that; some people are never satisfied. If you can hold on and turn positive, that's already good. Most people have already cut losses. Yesterday's move was a textbook-level correction; it's good that you kept your composure. Keep it up. Actually, your strategy of averaging down within a range is quite clear, but you still need to refine your entry timing. Sometimes the market just likes to go against you, isn't it annoying? But that's not your problem; it's the market's temperament itself.
