đ„ Tired of the market playing tricks on you? Hedging position as a response
Have you ever felt it: you enter, the price goes against you; you exit, it rises. Me too. Instead of complaining, I tested hedging â a long + a short calibrated to break this loop. $ETH
1ïžâŁ My shock: failed ETH scalp. Support at 1,900 USDT, I open a long, panic at the false signal, miss the rise. Regret hit me: it wasn't a technical issue, but uncontrolled emotion.
2ïžâŁ Why hedge?
Psychology: every bearish tick screams âstop!â. With a light hedge, the potential loss drops, I stay clear-headed.
Adjusted conviction: bullish bias â smaller short. Confirmed? I close the short, let the long run. Against? I limit the loss and capture the opposing leg.
Rational decision: at the net signal, I close the losing leg, bring the stop of the remaining trade to breakeven or in trailing. No more panic.
3ïžâŁ Striking example: $SUI in range 3.35â3.40 USDT. Long 0.6x at 3.36, short 0.4x at 3.38. Bullish breakout? I close the short, bring the long to breakeven, manage the TP. Bearish breakout? I let go of the long and accompany the short. No magic, but I preserve mental and capital.
4ïžâŁ Provocation & exchange:
Sick of these false moves?
Does light hedging intrigue or scare you?
