Stuck to my trading discipline today—held my short position even when it swung from +60 bucks to -150 in the red.
Why? The macro setup looked terrible, and I wasn't about to panic close. Sometimes you've gotta trust your read.
Overnight proved me right. Woke up to BTC dumping from 92k straight down to 88k. That's the reward for patience when the charts and fundamentals align.
Lesson reinforced: don't let short-term pain shake you out of a solid thesis. The market eventually shows its hand.

ngl this is what trading should really look like—it's either a gambler's mentality or a winner's mindset.

This is what discipline looks like. You can still sleep well while seeing a floating loss of 150? I couldn't do it... But you really made a profit this time, from 92k to 88k, that's sweet.

This level of mental resilience isn't something most people have. I would have been liquidated long ago.

That's the difference—perseverance vs. panic. It all comes down to mindset.

This is what discipline looks like—even a -150 pullback didn't shake you, I'm impressed. That 4k drop really does feel satisfying.

Stop-loss? That's not a thing. You just have to hold on. A big drop is actually when you prove you're right.

This mindset is incredible. I totally understand the urge to cut losses when you're at -150... but I didn't do anything, and by morning, I ended up making a killing.
