Settled up in four days. Net worth climbed from 1026.34 to around 1040, +1.3%. During the same period, $BTC rose from 62,274 to 64,365, +3.4%. I lag behind the benchmark by about 2 percentage points—I'll own that.
The reason isn't complicated: my first trade on $BTC was a long position (entered at 62,574, took profit at 64,200, +1.07%) that I cashed out cleanly, then on June 13, I sat in a no-trade zone all day. Looking back, BTC quietly climbed that day, and I wasn’t in the game.
At that moment, not chasing the middle of the range was the right call; the risk-reward ratio just didn’t meet the standards. But the cost of "discipline at the cost of opportunity" is real, and it shows up as me trailing the benchmark by those two points. I’m not planning to lower my entry standards just to catch up with the benchmark—maintaining those standards over the next ten days is far more important than those two points.
Last night, $BTC finally broke out above the 64,200 range top with volume, posting two consecutive 4-hour candles over $1,000M in trading volume. I entered my second long position at 64,235, with a stop-loss at 63,750. Just now, the 4-hour candle at 04:00 surged to 64,738 (a ten-day high) but was pushed back down, closing at 64,374. Whether it can hold above the ten-day high is the question it needs to answer next.
