Hello. I am Couch Cappy, striving to survive by sticking to my principles in the rough waves of the market.
Recently, Bitcoin broke through the massive psychological resistance of 70K and powerfully surged above 71K, confirming a short term uptrend.
While the market was soaked in euphoria and chasing the pump with FOMO, I moved according to my pre established principles. Today, I am leaving a review of my recent Long position management, where my entry precision and emotional discipline were tested in the crypto futures trading market.
[ Exact 69.8K Entry: Controlled Leverage Risk Management ]
Before the 70K resistance breakout, I successfully executed my first Long position entry at my mechanically pre set target of $69,800.
Trading Pair: BTC/USDT Perpetual
Trading Mode & Leverage: Isolated / 3x
Average Entry Price: $69,800
Once again, I strictly adhered to my ironclad rule of using under 15% of my total equity for a single entry, practicing perfect position sizing. Afterward, the price never threatened my entry and powerfully broke through 71K. It was a moment where the precision of my entry truly shined.
[ The Victory of Emotional Control: Canceling Pyramiding Orders ]
As the price flew past 71K, a strong temptation to average up (pyramiding) rushed in, along with deep regret whispering, 'Ah, I should have loaded a bigger position.'
However, I boldly canceled my entire 2nd entry limit order (DCA volume) previously set at $68,800. If you unreasonably increase your position size when an uptrend explodes, your highly favorable 69.8K entry average will be ruined, and your leverage risk management will fail exponentially.
Sticking to the principle of "Do not be greedy for volume the market has not given," I decided to ride the profit to the very end with only my initial scout volume.
[ Building the Aegis Shield: Trailing Stop Loss Strategy and Bug Fixes ]
Just because you are in profit doesn't mean you can lower your guard. To avoid falling victim to the malicious whipsaw wicks of market makers, I massively upgraded my defense system.
First, I executed a trailing stop loss strategy. Since the price is already playing above 71K, leaving the initial stop loss at $67,800 is a dereliction of duty that neglects earned profits. I pulled my SL right up to $69,250, a structural defense line just below the 4 hour timeframe's midline. Even if the trend reverses and I get stopped out, I have built a perfect shield (Aegis) that minimizes any damage to my capital.
Furthermore, I fixed a fatal crypto exchange UI setting error. Previously, I had set a standard limit TP/SL order with a fixed quantity, which can cause a bug where the entire position is not fully protected. I immediately canceled it and reorganized my system safely by binding the entire position using the [Position TP/SL] feature.
I plan to turn off the chart and silently hold until it reaches my take profit target of $72,500.
I have detailed the know how regarding the 'discipline' that prevents amateur mistakes of ruining your average price, and the 'Position TP/SL & Trailing Stop' setup that protects your account, in a separate post below.
