🪙 I often see traders say: 'You can't short on spot.' But I short all the time — and I do it without margin, loans, and liquidations.
How exactly?
When I see that the market is overheated, and the price, for example, $SOL or $ADA , is about to start a correction — I just sell the asset I already have.
I don’t borrow it. I don’t open futures. I just lock in profit — and consciously wait to re-enter lower.
🔁 Example:
Bought SOL at $140
SOL rose to $160 — I think this is the maximum
I am selling all SOL for USDT
SOL is falling to $130 — I am buying again
📊 What did I get? Instead of holding and 'hoping', I earned even more $USDT — and I have SOL again, just cheaper.
🧠 Why do I do this:
This is not a short in the classical sense. But the logic is short.
There is no risk of liquidation, like in futures or margin.
No need to control leverage, interest on loans, etc.
Simple — sold, wait, and then buy back.
⚠️ What I pay attention to:
It is important not to sell emotionally, but to have a clear plan and signal.
This approach only works when you already have an asset.
Sometimes the market goes further up — then I wait for a re-entry or buy in parts.
I don’t always hit the ideal points, but this method has given me peace and control. I no longer hold a coin just because 'I already bought it'. If the market is overheated — I just sell. And I wait for my moment.
