The past week of trading has been quite interesting. Let's review the entire process.
On Monday, I went long on Bitcoin around 86,800. When the price rose to 88,100, I started taking partial profits to protect gains. On Tuesday, I held the remaining position, riding the upward move until it exceeded 89,000 before closing everything out, capturing over 2,000 points.
On Tuesday at 89,200, I shifted my strategy and started shorting. Early Wednesday, the price precisely hit the first target at 87,800, earning another 1,400 points.
Also on Wednesday, Ethereum was shorted around 3,030. Although it retraced to 2,966, I still made nearly 70 points profit. Even small fluctuations like these need to be carefully managed.
On New Year’s Eve Thursday, the market was relatively quiet. We chose to stay on the sidelines, giving ourselves and our mindset a break.
On Friday, when Bitcoin surged near 90,000, I opened a short position again. I closed at 88,500 for a 1,500-point gain.
Throughout the week, each trade had clear entry and exit logic. I didn’t chase high trading frequency but focused on high-probability setups with well-defined stop-losses and reasonable positions. Volatile markets are like this—better to miss some swings than to make obvious mistakes. This approach helps us survive longer and stay steadier in the long run.
Now that 2026 has begun, new market opportunities are gradually emerging. The key is to manage risk well and ensure every trade can withstand scrutiny.

Damn, the returns this week are quite steady. The key point is that I need to learn not to chase the frequency.

Damn, the gains this week are pretty good, over 5000 points just like that. I need to learn this take-profit rhythm.
Even short positions can be nailed accurately; the precision of 1400 points on Wednesday was truly impressive.
The key is to be patient. Doing nothing on Thursday was the right move. Some people insist on trading every day, and they might end up giving back what they earned earlier.
Start in 2026, take it slow, and don't be greedy.

Oh no, the market really moved this week, and the feel is pretty good.
The trading logic is clear, and I like that it doesn't chase frequency.
The key is to hold the stop-loss; in a volatile market like this, it's better to miss out than to do poorly.
The start in 2026 looks okay, keep steady and continue.

Reliable trading is just like this—earn steadily, without greed or impatience.

This week is steady, no greed, no impatience, and the ideas are solid.
Breaking 5000 points feels very comfortable, and the key is to be clear about each trade and not follow the crowd to sell off recklessly.
How do you achieve such precision? Every time I chase highs, I get trapped.
Wait, is this backtesting or live trading? It’s a bit too clean.
Actually, the hardest part is on the day I stay put; I’m sure I’ll be tempted to open a position.
Stability is definitely worth learning; not everyone can resist the temptation to trade.
I really want to know how you set your stop-loss; it feels like you’ve never experienced a drawdown.

Hey, this week's review was indeed well played, with the rhythm of 2000+1400+1500 feeling pretty comfortable.
Wait, are you talking about 2026? I thought we were still in 2025, haha.
Don't chase after frequency or break discipline—that's the real secret to longevity.

Damn, the earnings this week are really impressive. Not only did I make over 5,000, but the key is that every single trade was executed very precisely... I'm still debating whether to chase the high or not.

Alright, this week’s feel is indeed good, taking gains of over 2000 points + 1400 points + 1500 points, looking like a conservative player.
Wait, 89200 short position down to 87800 is only 1400? Feels like I could be more aggressive.
Staying put on Thursday, I approve. Not all markets require participation; too many people get stuck here.
Happy New Year 2026, wishing everyone a longer and more stable life than mine.
Is taking profit at 88500 a bit early? Can it still go further?
Risk management always comes first, this approach has no problem.
