📈💻💹💰📊 Description of my trading operation on the cryptocurrency market (futures).

1. General context of the agreement.
I executed the trading operation independently on the futures market of the Gate cryptocurrency exchange in the trading pair BTC/USDT. Position type — short (short).
The decision to trade was made considering the high volatility of Bitcoin and my current level of experience. My main priority is risk control and capital preservation, rather than aggressive profit growth.
2. Logic of entering a position.
I entered a short position at the price of 88,967.6 USDT.
The decision to open a position was based on the expectation of a short-term price movement and the possibility of securing a moderate profit without holding the trade for an extended period. I consciously chose a short position, as I do not consider it advisable at this stage to hold long positions without a sufficiently deep market analysis.
3. The logic of exiting a position.
I exited the position at a price of 89,531.5 USDT.
The deal closure occurred immediately after profit appeared, without attempts to hold the position in anticipation of maximum price movement. This approach is related to the understanding of the high volatility of the cryptocurrency market and the reluctance to expose capital to additional risk.
My strategy involves securing the result upon reaching the planned minimum profit, even if the potential for price movement has not yet been exhausted. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush!
4. Risk Management and Strategic Approach.
In my trading, I adhere to a short-term futures strategy with conservative risk management, which includes:
•independent decision-making in trading without copying others' trades;
•rejection of excessive risk and inflated expectations;
•focus on a stable, albeit small, positive result;
•avoiding prolonged retention of positions in an unstable market environment.
5. Result and PnL.
According to the results of this agreement, I recorded a positive PnL.
The profit was moderate, yet it fully met my trading goals and the chosen strategy, the main objective of which is gradual and controlled growth of trading capital.
6. Conclusions and Lessons Learned.
This agreement confirmed for me the prudence of a cautious approach to futures trading:
•Discipline and timely profit realization are key elements of successful trading;
•not every market movement is worth "pushing" to the maximum;
•Preserving capital is more important than chasing large but unstable profits.
