A common mistake I’ve made in the past — and honestly, still fall into sometimes — is letting emotions take over, which leads straight to hitting stop-losses.
But really, the answer is simple: the trend. 🙂
Trading with the trend is the easiest and most profitable strategy.
But human psychology is wired in such a way that most decisions are made emotionally, not logically.
My problem was that — intraday or toward the end of a trading session — I always wanted to catch that perfect reversal point.
Place a stop just behind the high, close the chart, and start receiving notifications as price smashes through my targets.
That GOD Mode feeling — like I just shorted the very top or caught the exact intraday bottom for a long.
I think many of you can relate.
You find yourself in cognitive dissonance — thinking the price will go up, then suddenly doubt creeps in. The price turns…
“Okay, now it's definitely going to fall…”
You enter a trade — and the price shoots up against you.
Then you realize: it wasn’t a trap. It was logical.
You just got caught trying to catch the perfect trade.
And usually, these little adventures end in the best-case scenario — with a stop-loss.
Worst case? You miss a big move, feel regret, and start trying to revenge trade — which never ends well, especially if you're using 50x leverage.
🧠 Focus on the trend. Define it using higher timeframes and stick to it.
Let 80% of your trades follow the trend.
Only 20% should go against it, and only when there's a solid reason. $ETH
