Today I executed a short-term trade on BNB/USDT based on a breakout pattern I noticed on the 1-hour chart. The price was consolidating in a tight range, and I entered the trade when it broke above the $582 resistance level with strong volume confirmation.

I set my stop-loss just below $576 and targeted a modest 2% gain. Within a couple of hours, the price reached my take-profit level at $594, and I exited with a clean profit. I didn’t use leverage this time, focusing instead on a low-risk, high-probability setup.

This trade reminded me how important it is to wait patiently for the right setup and to always follow your trading plan. I journaled the trade in my tracker and will review it later this week to improve my consistency. Discipline and proper risk management made this trade successful.
