Expecting BTC to hang around here until the end of the week. Next week should give us the green light to short.

I was wrong.

My biggest futures payout yet 🥹 $15K max withdrawal from 5 x $150K @Tradeify lightning accounts 🫶 Payout was approved and sent within 1 hour on a Saturday 🤯 I only started trading futures 4 months ago so I’m feeling extremely grateful for this new milestone 🙏 Time to lock in for another max payout 🔒🤞

It cost me 2SL to get this short right, but man is it paying off now

$BTC │ Swing short update. I’m still positioned the same. As mentioned in my previous update, I closed the add at BE to improve my average from 74.6K to 76K. That proved to be a solid decision, as price reacted immediately after tapping my average entry. With it now being the start of May, I’ve already outlined the likelihood of a sweep above the PMO (previous monthly high). This remains the zone where I plan to scale further into the position to continue improving my overall swing entry. Some may ask why I don’t simply wait for clear structure or an ideal point of interest before entering. The reasoning is straightforward, I prefer to build into positions early to avoid being front-run. As a HTF trader, I take a limited number of swing trades, and waiting for perfect entries can often take weeks or even months. I’d rather secure exposure slightly early on a high-conviction idea than risk missing the move entirely. Since my average has improved following the 78K add (as previously noted), I’m now adjusting my soft stop-loss (SSL) from 83K to 84K. I’ll manually close the position if I believe the short thesis has been fully invalidated. This approach is consistent across my HTF positions, scaling in strategically to improve entry while progressively adjusting invalidation levels as the trade develops. So far, all 6 out of 6 swing shorts have played out successfully and delivered great returns. While it’s inevitable that I’ll eventually be wrong, maintaining conviction and discipline is essential. I’m continuing to follow the same system that has allowed me to capture each meaningful swing short to date. Emotionless. 🤟

I’m still in the same $BTC short position. No celebrating yet, price is still slightly above my entry. I’ll be looking to reduce some risk on the portion I added to improve my average from 74.6K to 76K while price was trading at 78.4K. This isn’t because I’ve lost confidence, but simply to manage risk properly in case we see another sweep into FOMC. This is a method I use on most swing positions: look for signs of exhaustion, add to the trade, then close the added size at breakeven. In effect, I maintain the same core short exposure, but with an improved average entry. Until we accept below 75K, there’s nothing particularly bearish from a surface level PA perspective, as we’re still trading above the range. If we move back into the range, then a move below 70K becomes more likely. Nothing has changed regarding my overall thesis or plan, just a small update on how I’m managing the position.
