📊 Trade Type: Futures – Isolated
💰 Pair: DOGEUSDT
⚙️ Leverage: 10×
📉 Direction: Short
🧠 Trade Logic & Setup
DOGEUSDT showed clear short-term weakness after failing to hold above a minor resistance zone. Price action indicated lower highs with declining momentum, suggesting sellers were gradually gaining control.
I waited for price to stabilize below resistance and entered a small, controlled short position, focusing on probability over position size.
🎯 Entry Strategy
Entry taken near local resistance
Confirmation from weak follow-through by buyers
Market structure favored a short-term pullback rather than continuation
🛡 Risk Management
Used Isolated Margin to strictly limit downside risk
Position size kept intentionally small
Liquidation price placed far away, ensuring no emotional pressure
No over-leveraging — survival > profits
This trade wasn’t about “big wins,” but about consistent execution.
📈 PnL Review
Trade moved as expected shortly after entry
Small but positive unrealized PnL
Execution followed the plan without panic or over-trading
📌 Sometimes the best trade is one where nothing goes wrong.
📚 Key Lessons
✅ Discipline beats prediction
✅ Risk control is more important than leverage
✅ Small trades build long-term consistency
✅ Protecting capital is already a win
🧩 Final Thoughts
Not every trade needs to be a home run.
This DOGEUSDT short reminds me that professional trading is about process, not excitement.
