#数字资产市场动态 Recently closed a $BTC short position, and the entire process from entry to exit has given me quite a few insights. This trade wasn't a big one, but going through the complete decision-making, execution, and reflection process made me feel it's necessary to organize my thoughts, which might be somewhat helpful for friends involved in futures trading.

【Trade Details at a Glance】
Futures isolated margin, 10x leverage on the short:
- Position size: 0.0003 BTC
- Entry price: 89,069.2 USDT
- Stop-loss: 88,976.7 USDT
- Mark price at the time: 87,621.9 USDT
- Unrealized profit/loss: 0.43 USDT (Return rate 14.54%)
- Liquidation price: 98,555.5 USDT

To put it simply, the logic at the time was bearish. When $BTC surged above 89,000, I felt it was a bit overdone.

【Why I Decided to Short】
RSI reached the overbought zone, and MACD also showed bearish divergence. Regarding candlestick patterns, the upward momentum seemed to be weakening. The key point was that as the price approached around 89,000, trading volume started to shrink. These signals together indicated a high probability of a short-term correction. So, I didn't think too much and opened this short position near the resistance level.

【Details of Trade Execution】
Both entry and exit were based on preset standards, with no last-minute changes. Although I didn't use much margin, I kept a close eye on unrealized P&L to prevent forced liquidation. The technical analysis involved RSI, MACD, and candlestick patterns—nothing overly complicated.

【Key Takeaways】
The biggest pitfalls in trading are greed and fear. This trade reaffirmed for me that good position management, a stable mindset, and clear entry/exit criteria are indispensable. Leverage is a double-edged sword; used correctly, it can boost returns, but misused, it can lead to losing money. Even though I didn't make much profit this time, following the process correctly made me feel at ease.

Now, I'm considering whether to try adding trailing stop-loss or scaling out to take profits in parts, which could help respond more flexibly to market fluctuations. The market is indeed hard to predict in the short term, but with discipline and a systematic approach, long-term performance should improve.
