How to lock in profit or loss so that the market works for you
Sometimes the market goes against the position so quickly that the trader is left with only two options:
❌ close everything and lock in the pain
❌ or sit through it, hoping for a miracle
But there is a third way — managed and technically correct.
This is a mirror version of our “Double Capture” strategy, but applied in the direction of SHORT behavior of the asset.

## 🚩 The idea is simple:
You do not “guess” the market.
You trap it wherever it goes.

# 🔥 How “Double Capture (SHORT)” works
Let's say you have an asset. The price is going somewhere, the situation is unclear.
What we do:
## 1️⃣ Step one — sell 50% at market
Yes, right at the market.
— If you are in profit → you fixed half of the result.
— If you are at a loss → you fixed half of the risk.
The main thing: you create liquidity to work smartly further.
---
## 2️⃣ Step two — place a limit on the received stablecoins at 5% below
You place a buy order at a price -5% from the market exit point.
📉 If the market falls further — you buy again, but already cheaper.
You return the same volume of the coin, but with a discount.
---
## 3️⃣ Step three — place the second half of the coin for sale +5%
On the remaining coin, you place a sell order +5% above the market exit point.
📈 If the market is going up — you sell at a higher price.
And you secure profit again.

# 🎯 What is the result
Wherever the market strikes — you win:
### ▪️ If the price falls:
You buy cheaper, lower your entry, and return the volume of the coin.
### ▪️ If the price rises:
You secure profit on the second half.
### ▪️ If the market is moving sideways:
With a high probability, one of the orders will trigger, and you are not sitting as a “hostage of the position.”

# 💡 Why this works
Because the strategy is not based on guessing the price movement,
and on the mechanics of returning volatility.
The price almost always makes micro-fluctuations of ±2–5%.
And we use these movements as fuel.
---
# 🔥 A simple example
You have a coin at a price of 10$.
You sell 50% → you get stables.
Next:
- Purchase: 9.50$
- Sale: 10.50$
💥 If the coin has soared up — part was sold at a higher price.
💥 If the coin has dropped — you bought cheaper and returned the volume.
In both cases, you strengthened the position rather than destroyed it.

# 🧠 The main meaning
You stop “betting” and start playing with math, not emotions.
This is a disciplined technique for managing positions,
that removes the casino effect and adds structure.
# 📌 And remember
This strategy is not about being right.
It’s about being profitable even when you make a mistake.
