😔 ETH Short Trade Lesson: 8 Days, $911 Loss
Just closed an ETH short after holding it for 8 days — entered around $1,855, with a stop at $1,865. The position size was about $185,000 using 13x leverage, and the trade ended with a $911.47 USDT loss.
🎯 What happened?
I expected ETH to decline after entering the short, but instead, the market moved sideways and kept bouncing. I repeatedly told myself, “Wait a little longer, it should fall.”
But after eight days, the trade clearly wasn't working. Today, I finally accepted that the thesis was wrong and closed the position.
💡 The biggest lesson isn't the $911 loss.
It's the 8 days of time, attention, and mental energy spent defending a losing position. Cutting the loss earlier would have freed up capital and allowed me to look for better opportunities.
📊 Lesson learned:
Don't let a losing trade turn into a long-term position. If the original thesis breaks, accept it and move on. A disciplined stop-loss can protect more than just money—it can protect your time and focus.
