#分享我的交易
As the end of 2025 approaches, everyone is starting to summarize their trading for the year. Looking back at this year, my trading volume reached 2.6 million dollars, but my profit was only a little over 700 dollars. Reflecting on myself, the reason is that many times I impulsively traded during uncertain times, turning investment into gambling. I have chosen to share two recent trades on folks where I first made a profit and then incurred a loss, using monetary lessons to remind everyone and myself: control your emotions and only engage in certain trades!
🎅 Trade 1:
📊 Transaction Details
Trading Pair: FOLKS/USDT
Market Type: Contract
Direction: Long
Entry point: 6.62
Closing position point: 7.2
Leverage: 30x
Holding time: 1 hour
Profit and Loss Ratio: 240%
📌 Entry and Exit Logic
As a strong cryptocurrency in the early stages, FOLKS has a demand for rebound after experiencing consecutive declines. On the 4-hour chart, the price has moved away from the lower band, showing hope to challenge the middle band of the Bollinger Bands. On the daily chart, the price has broken through the resistance of the 5-day moving average, providing further momentum for upward movement. On the 15-minute chart, the price is very strong, so I choose to enter a long position when the price pulls back to the 15-minute short moving average.
When the price reached 7.2 USD, I noticed that it deviated from the 15-minute moving average and the profit had already reached over 200%, triggering my take-profit rule. Given the market was not strong, I didn't dare to overreach, so I decided to close my position and exit.
🛡️ Risk Management Strategy
To prevent risks caused by sudden price fluctuations, I set my stop loss at a 35% loss during trading, and only used half of my position to ensure that the total loss remains within an acceptable range.
🎅 Trade II:
📊 Trading Details
Trading Pair: FOLKS/USDT
Market Type: Contract
Direction: Short
Entry point: 7.06
Closing position: 7.19
Leverage: 30x
Holding time: 30 minutes
Profit and Loss Ratio: -58%
📌 Entry and Exit Logic
After closing my long position, I noticed that the price of FOLKS dropped in a short period. Rationality tells me not to blindly short strong coins, but the joy of previous profits relaxed my nerves, and I wanted to pursue potentially huge profits, so I opened a short position.
After I opened the position, the price began to rebound. I chose to hold the position, and later the price continued to rise. After my losses exceeded 50%, I began to panic and ultimately stopped out at 7.19. After this stop loss, my mindset was greatly affected, and I opened several more positions based on my feelings, ultimately turning profits into losses.
🛡️ Risk Management Strategy
Because I wanted to do a short-term trade, I did not set a stop-loss, which led to me passively holding my position during a significant price rebound. When my losses became too large, I was afraid of liquidation and ultimately panic-sold. In this uncertain operation, I did not manage my position size well and still used 50% of my position size, resulting in huge losses.
💡 Summary of Experience and Lessons Learned
1. The first trade, after comprehensively assessing multiple indicators, is a relatively certain investment opportunity, and making the decision to open a position is rational. Later, under uncertain circumstances, opening a position with a gambling mentality led to a collapse in mindset and continuous losses. Only engage in certain trend opportunities; for uncertain opportunities, it is better to rest and miss out than to make a mistake.
2. Mindset and emotions are the biggest enemies of trading; the gambling mentality and the frustration after losses are the most common detrimental emotions in trading.
3. Always set stop-loss orders when trading, which can prevent holding onto losing positions and further losses.
4. Control your position size in trading.
5. Protecting capital is more important than pursuing big wins.
6. For investment targets that experience significant rises/falls, unless there are obvious signals of a peak/trough, do not go against the trend.
🔔Finally, let me share a saying with everyone once more: A gentleman keeps his tools hidden and waits for the right time to act. Isn't this the same for trading?
