$ETH 🔍 ETHUSDT Perpetual Trade Recap | +$69 Profit on 5.811 ETH Volume
Just closed out a position on ETHUSDT (Perpetual, Cross Margin), and I wanted to break it down for anyone interested in the thought process behind the trade, the outcome, and what I’m learning from it.
📊 Trade Summary:

🧠 The Thought Process:
This trade was opened based on a combination of technical indicators and market structure. ETH was approaching a resistance zone with decreasing volume and momentum on the higher time frames. I anticipated a minor pullback and positioned accordingly for a short trade with tight risk controls.
I used cross margin for better flexibility and exposure management, with careful attention to position sizing relative to my available margin. The setup was scalped on intraday time frames, aiming for small, clean profits rather than large swings.
📈 Execution and Outcome:
The market moved just enough in the direction I expected. While ETH only dropped slightly from the entry, the volume (5.811 ETH) and risk-managed leverage allowed for a +69 USDT profit.
Not every trade needs to be a homerun — sometimes it’s about capturing a small edge and protecting capital. It’s trades like this that build consistency over time.
🧩 Key Takeaways:
Discipline over excitement: The setup wasn’t flashy, but it followed the system.
Precision matters: Entry and exit were calculated, allowing profitability even with a small price move.
Risk is everything: Proper sizing meant I wasn’t overexposed — no emotional swings, just execution.
Always refine: While the outcome was green, there's always room to tighten entries and exits further.
Trading isn’t about winning every time — it’s about managing risk, staying patient, and letting your edge play out over time. A small win, yes — but also a validation of process and mindset.
Let’s keep stacking smart trades and stay focused on the long game. 📚🚀
