Day 3 – Tuesday, 22 July 2025
Between 00:00–02:00 UTC, I opened 418 trades using $1 margin and 10× leverage. Out of 361 longs, only 129 were profitable — the rest got wiped out. For 57 shorts, I had 30 wins, which gave me a much better win rate. Still, due to re-entries and poor exits, I ended with a net loss of –$29.37.
One thing became clear: Tuesdays (and likely Fridays) are dangerous for longs. Most of my long entries were instantly crushed, even though some recovered slightly between 01:30 and 02:00 UTC. After that, the market dumped again — especially around 03:00 UTC. My mistake was getting greedy and re-entering after profits instead of walking away.
From this, I updated my system into what I now call PPT: Probability + Pattern + Timing. I’ll still scatter $1 trades across many tokens early on, but now with tighter discipline: longs must show early strength, all trades closed by 02:00, and shorts will be my priority if the market feels unnatural — especially before 03:00 UTC.
Conclusion:
On this day, short positions were clearly more favorable. While my longs had a poor 35% win rate, my shorts performed with over 50% success. Going forward, on volatile weekdays like Tuesday, I’ll lean toward short setups — especially when the market shows early signs of fake strength followed by sudden drops.
