š My RSI Experiment: How I Almost Lost the Trade, but Still Closed It in Profit
I'm not a highly experienced trader, and honestly ā trading doesnāt always go well for me. But lately, Iāve been experimenting a bit more to better understand indicators.
Hereās how it went š
I noticed that Cardano (
$ADA ) was overbought on the 1-hour and 15-minute charts, while on the 4-hour chart it was approaching the oversold zone.
I decided to enter a short position, even though the TradingView strategy indicator gave the signal later than when I entered.
š” I was planning to set a stop-loss, but since I only had $0.9 on my account, I changed my mind ā I decided to just let the trade ārun.ā If I had placed the stop-loss where I intended, the trade wouldāve been closed at a loss.
The price dipped almost to ā$0.5, but I patiently waited for a reversal.
š After that, I placed a Fibonacci retracement and set my take-profits at the 0.5 and 0.618 levels ā and it worked out. In the end, the trade closed in profit, and I earned $0.51.
This experiment taught me a few lessons:
ā Indicators donāt guarantee perfect entries, especially if you jump in early;
ā Fibonacci can really help with setting take-profits, even if you draw it after the reversal;
ā Even with a small deposit, you can learn valuable lessons.
ā
If you found my experience interesting ā leave a reaction or share if you've had a similar case with indicators.
I donāt often share such experiments, but if people enjoy it ā Iāll show more over time!
