As you can see from the screenshot, my past week started with a pump - a running pump! I completed a half marathon. This was my sixth half marathon, but the previous five were over four years ago, which makes this achievement even more meaningful to me.
Whether in running or trading, great results come with dedication, consistency, and regular effort. Onward and upward!
I see a triangle pattern forming on the IRIS, with potential for an upward breakout. Bought a small position and set a stop-loss. Watching the price closely.
Short-Term Trading vs. Holding: What’s More Profitable?
Trading within a 1–3 day range can often yield more benefits than buying a coin and waiting weeks or months for it to triple in value.
1️⃣ Experience: Short-term trading helps you develop skills and improve your win rate over time. 2️⃣ Steady Growth: When done correctly, your capital grows consistently, and you can attribute the success directly to your actions. 3️⃣ Reduced Stress: You avoid the anxiety of waiting for a coin to rally and the frustration when its price drops again—or worse, never rises to your target at all.
Last week, I stayed committed to my goal of running every other day, no matter the weather or workload.
Each run gave me energy and helped clear my mind for new ideas, which is especially valuable in trading. Running has become not just a way to stay in shape but also a tool for resetting.

When the market is uncertain, it can be challenging for a trader to remain calm and patient. Especially when it seems like everyone else is already making trades, locking in profits, or debating potential trends. But these are precisely the moments to remind yourself that trading isn’t a race—it’s a calculated decision-making process.
A pending order might feel like something elusive, especially when the price keeps moving in another direction. However, in trading, patience is often rewarded. Waiting for the right entry point helps minimize risks and increases the likelihood of a successful trade.
Instead of giving in to impatience and trying to chase every market movement, reflect on why you placed your order at a specific level. Market analysis, identifying support and resistance levels, and recognizing trends—all of these lay the groundwork for profitable trades.
Remember, the market always offers opportunities, but only patient traders can make the most of them. Let waiting become part of your strategy because success comes to those who are ready to seize their moment.
If your order closed with a profit but the price kept rising, the classic beginner’s mistake is to feel disappointed and regret not holding on for longer. Remember: you’ve already locked in a profit, and that’s what matters most.
If your stop-loss was triggered, taking you out of a trade with a small loss, and then the price soared — don’t dwell on it. Serious trading offers countless opportunities to re-enter the market and make a profit. Instead, analyze what happened: should you have entered at a lower level, set a wider stop-loss, or perhaps averaged your position?
Every situation requires its own analysis, and each evaluation helps you gain experience and increase the chances of success in future trades.
Don’t regret — analyze! Experiment with different approaches, refine your skills, and stay committed to your path to success! $BTC #BTC
The best opportunities for practicing scalping are currently on #ACT and #PNUT High volumes and the involvement of many traders create volatility, while predictable support and resistance zones help pinpoint buy and sell points.
Have fun with it, but don’t get carried away—keep your risk low, use only a small portion of your capital, set stop-losses, and remember that there’s always another chance as long as you have your capital intact. $ACT $PNUT
Greed vs. Common Sense 🤯 #PNUT The coin’s growth is incredible! Hold or short? It’s up to each person to decide based on their own experience and intuition. I can only wish you all the best of luck! ✊🏻 $PNUT
Is scalping worth it? There’s quite a bit of talk around the coin #ACT I see high trading volumes, strong volatility, and a lack of market dependency. The price moves based on traders’ actions. This might be one of those moments to allocate a small part of the deposit and try scalping. It’s a risky game, but if approached as a form of entertainment and with proper risk management, it could be worth a try without risking too much of the deposit.
Will Bitcoin’s price drop soon? Your votes were nearly evenly split, so it’s hard to say for sure, but I’m leaning toward a downward trend. I’m keeping an eye on the market and news updates. $BTC #BTC
Yesterday, watching the market, I saw that prices for most altcoins had surged. At times like these, it feels like everything you invest in is growing fast—as long as you avoid entering at the peak and remember that prices can drop just as swiftly.
My intuition led me to check coins that were underperforming in this rising market, showing negative growth indicators.
The first was #OG This coin’s chart shows sharp price spikes followed by equally rapid pullbacks. Within a day of watching it, the price surged and then fell back with a 10% swing.
The second was #HARD This coin frequently experiences daily price swings ranging from 4% to 30%. During my observation, it gained more than 30% in just a few hours.
The takeaway is that in an overbought market, it’s worth paying attention to underperformers with growth potential, rather than buying coins that have already peaked. Once again, I was reminded that intuition is one of our most valuable forms of knowledge. Do you listen to and trust your inner voice? $OG $HARD
Greed. This is a common challenge for traders, especially after closing a trade with a profit, only to see the market keep rising. It can feel like the trade was closed too early, that there was potential to earn more. This often leads to self-doubt and the urge to re-enter, despite basic trading principles advising against it—especially when the price is already at a peak.
Typically, peak prices hold for only a few days, and the missed profit potential might be around 3-10%. It’s challenging to resist entering trades at these highs, particularly when prices reach all-time highs (ATH). But it’s essential to keep a cool head and remember that buying at a peak carries a high risk of capital loss. Often, prices pull back before any new growth, offering better entry opportunities later.
Stay grounded in the fundamentals, avoid giving in to destructive emotions, and act logically and consistently.
