They say “trend is your friend” – and guess what? I betrayed my best friend.

On May 8th, while BTC was clearly in a strong uptrend, I made the classic rookie mistake:

I looked at a few red candles and opened a short position near $100,900 – hoping for a reversal.

I ignored the rising MA(7), the strong green momentum, and higher highs forming one after another.

Instead of riding the wave, I tried to stand against it.

Entry: Short at $100,900

Stop Loss: $101,700 (hit within minutes!)

Loss: -18 USDT

Honestly, it hurt. Not the loss, but the fact that I knew better – but didn’t act better.

Lesson learned:

Never short an uptrend unless there's a clear breakdown.

Respect the trend. Respect your strategy. Trade with logic, not ego.

Thanks Binance for giving us this platform to reflect, share, and grow. I’m not perfect, but I’m progressing.
