Today’s long position operation record—BTC decisively reduced positions at 90360, then fell to around 89400, basically breaking even. I originally wanted to re-enter at 86800, but I was too caught up in a drama and missed the opportunity. Now the order is placed, just waiting to see if I can get it at this price. This is the fourth attempt at this level.

AAPE’s operation is a bit regrettable. I didn’t reduce positions as planned; I was betting on a rebound, but the performance was mediocre, only opening a few trades, so it’s not a big deal. In comparison, my short position on XMR at 448 was comfortable—light position, low leverage, making the operation much simpler.

This live trading account has been running for 6 days. Previously, I gained 10%, now it’s back to 5%, but overall still acceptable. This is actually my first time trying this format. Usually, my trading mainly involves long-term holdings, and when short-term opportunities arise, I take a swing. If I miss it, I just hold and wait. I’ve watched many big influencers’ operations; sometimes I fantasize about short-term explosive profits, but once I get hands-on, I realize—short-term trading is too unpredictable, and it doesn’t match my personality and trading habits. Making some money is mostly because I caught the trend; very short cycles are more prone to being manipulated. In this way, the risk of liquidation isn’t actually that high.

Now I just wait to see when this live account can double. Especially in this kind of market I consider quite bad, if I can still make money, it will be a positive feedback for my future trading, and it can boost my confidence for the next bull market.

Honestly, doing this live trading is also a way to keep a record of my trading. Posting on forums can also serve as a record, but the positive feedback there is too sparse, and sometimes I’m too lazy to update. I want to thank those friends who liked and encouraged me—such feedback is really crucial for my personality.

To be honest, these posts are at least not the kind of copy-paste, repetitive routine articles. Each one is based on my careful thinking and analysis, a personal insight.

The contradiction is that I think these contents still have some value, but the feedback… well, a friend once advised me to just let AI write it for me, because most content on the forum is of uneven quality, and truly well-thought-out posts are hard to get recognition for, which discourages me from continuing. Now I truly understand—without feedback, it’s really hard to stick to something.

Whether I should continue writing in the future, I need to think carefully.
