Recently, the movement of BTC has prompted me to adjust my approach. After two consecutive stop-loss hits on short positions, I took a step back and reviewed the situation carefully. The current situation is as follows: the market is stuck in a four-hour consolidation range, with the upper and lower boundaries at 94851 and 91209 respectively.



Since it's a consolidation, I switch to a different mindset—shifting from a high short/low long strategy to a short-term trading approach, looking for opportunities at extreme points. The specific plan is as follows:

When BTC approaches the support zone at 91209, I will wait for a signal on the 15-minute K-line. Once the confirmation signal appears, I will enter a long position. Take profit near 94851, exit the entire position, and then look for a potential reversal to short again. Set the stop-loss at 90571.

To be honest, trading ultimately comes down to a probability game. Leave wins and losses to the market; I only focus on executing the process correctly—this is the true strategy with execution power. The core of what’s worth executing is finding extremes in consolidation and waiting for signals on the right side at those points. Steady, precise, and aggressive—by mastering these three, the rest depends on discipline.

After losing two consecutive short positions, I finally understood, and this shift in thinking is quite clear. However, I think, the 15-minute right-side signal is easy to talk about, but when it reaches around 91209, the mentality collapses—that's the pain point. Stability, accuracy, and decisiveness sound great, but the key is how long the discipline can be maintained.

Ah, it's another story of a short position getting slapped in the face. This time, I learned my lesson and switched to short-term trading.

Only after two big losses did I understand the importance of stop-loss; this time my mindset has become clearer.

Being able to stay calm and review after two consecutive explosive orders is indeed impressive. I agree with the logic of finding extreme values in oscillations, just worried that the hands might get itchy again.

Even after taking two hits, staying so calm and reviewing the situation is truly impressive. I'm just worried that when the signal comes, I might not be able to sit still again.

After losing two rounds in a row, I immediately adjust the strategy. I have to give full marks for this reaction speed, much better than stubbornly sticking to a big smart move.

Being able to calmly review after two consecutive stop-losses, I respect that. However, the biggest risk in a volatile market is false breakouts. Can you really push through with that 91209? It's hard to say.

honestly the whole "process over outcomes" thing hits different when you're actually bleeding money on consecutive losses, ngl. sub-optimal incentive structures emerge pretty quick when the market decides your support levels are just suggestions... path dependency's a bitch that way.

Still able to calmly review after losing two rounds in a row, respect, brother.
