🔥 BTCUSDT Futures — Short Trade Review 🔥
📊 Trade Type: Futures (Isolated)
📉 Position: Short
💰 ROI: +1.88%
📍 Entry: 88,193
📍 Exit: 88,000
🧠 Trade Logic & Strategy
BTC was showing clear rejection from a resistance zone with weakening bullish momentum.
On the lower timeframe, price formed lower highs, indicating potential downside continuation.
Key confirmations:
Rejection near intraday resistance
Momentum slowdown after push-up
Short-term structure turning bearish
I entered a conservative short after confirmation and exited partially near a psychological level (88,000) to lock profit safely.
📌 Risk Management
Isolated margin used
Controlled position size
No over-leverage
Predefined exit plan
📚 Lessons Learned
✔️ Small, consistent profits matter
✔️ Patience at resistance pays off
✔️ Risk control > big ROI chasing
Trading is about discipline, not emotions.
