Last night, I set three short positions: 91666, 92888, 94333. I originally planned to cancel all orders before sleep, but in the end, only the order at the lowest level 91666 was canceled. It wasn't until this morning that I realized the short at 92888 actually executed, and now I find myself in a dilemma of whether to hold or cut.
This semi-hedged state really makes people uncomfortable. Although the position at 92888 has some profit potential, if the market rebounds and breaks through this level, the risk will spike sharply. Conversely, if the trend continues downward, this position still yields decent returns.
Many people have encountered similar trading awkwardness—partial risk hedging can actually increase uncertainty. The key question is: what is your judgment on the subsequent trend? The lower order at 94333 is still active, providing some extra protection, but it also means your actual risk exposure remains quite high.
Some choose to hold and bet on a downward trend; others decide to close the position on a rebound at a key resistance level to lock in partial profits. The lesson here might be: for large positions, order cancellations require more cautious confirmation mechanisms.

Haha, this is the legendary "sleep trading" trap, I've fallen for it too...

Oh no, this is a typical slip-up situation. I only realized after waking up that 92888 was eaten.

It's that feeling of slipping up in the middle of the night again, truly incredible.
92888 is stuck there, can't tell if it's a blessing or a curse, just see how things unfold later.
I already said it, big orders must have a stop-loss list, otherwise you'll be stuck in this kind of dilemma.

This is awkward now, being stuck at 92888 in the middle is the most uncomfortable
Sleep cost, everyone, just got swept away like that
94333 is still holding, either endure it all at once or admit defeat, half-position is the most tormenting
Large transactions definitely need a alarm clock, relying on memory alone isn't enough
If the rebound breaks 92888, we're completely finished... better to reduce some positions in advance to feel better mentally

It's the cost of placing orders late at night and not getting enough sleep again. I speak from experience.

Haha, I understand this wave of order cancellations failed, surprises during sleep are the most deadly.
The moment I saw the order wasn't fully canceled in the morning, it was so embarrassing... Now I'm just betting on what happens next.
94333 still feels like it's protected, and I think I can give it a shot, but the risk exposure hanging like this is really uncomfortable.
