Recently, I did four ETH trades following my teacher's guidance and wanted to review the process and results.
The first trade went long from 3145, and around 3200 my teacher judged the pattern was off and called to exit in time, yielding 55 points profit. The key to this trade was execution discipline without greed.
The second trade was quite interesting. I had a take-profit order set in advance at 3250 when opening the position (the teacher had suggested 3260, so I missed out on 10 points, which was slightly regrettable), ultimately capturing 80 points. This trade made me realize how important it is to set take-profit levels in advance—it avoids a lot of unnecessary psychological fluctuations.
The third trade shorted at 3250, and I exited around 321x myself, taking 40 points. Seeing that many people didn't get out afterwards and got stopped out at 3280 for losses, I felt quite fortunate.
The fourth trade was more stressful. When my teacher called to short at 3290, many people were following in, and many opened at 3303, 3305. I wanted to wait for a better entry point but it never came—the price just didn't look back. In the end, although I still had half my core position held, this trade still captured 50 points.
Total across four trades: 55+80+40+50=225 points. Although the capital wasn't large, the overall position realized a 20% return rate. The biggest takeaway from this process is that strict take-profit and stop-loss discipline is more important than chasing every single point.
