Trade Review: Stop Loss and Market Manipulation
ETH Plan Failed
The original plan was to buy in batches at 4168 and 4110, but when it first reached 4168, I hesitated to cancel the order after seeing a waterfall with volume and missed the rebound to 4220+.
After the pullback, I chased the buy and got stuck, sigh.
4110 was the ambush buy, but the price dropped to 4112, just 2 points away from triggering the entry, and then it rallied.
BTC Stop Loss
After stabilizing at 1137, I placed a buy order at 1130 with a stop loss, but the market just had to hit my stop loss first before returning to my cost price! It feels like a trap specifically targeting me.
Woke up this morning to find that the second coin couldn't hold 4250, and then another spike happened, decisively cut the buy position, and I won't enter at 4110 anymore, chasing a short at market price! Remembering the 4075 structural level I analyzed before, this could be an A wave, or it could be a C wave, just 20 dollars stop loss, just woke up, short him!!! Short to 4075 and then go long!!!
Summary: Relax the tolerance for key levels (e.g., ±5 points), set conditional alerts after placing orders instead of watching the market closely, and reduce emotional interference.
