📈 MIXED BAG: A MASTERCLASS IN DISCIPLINE & A LESSON IN STOP-LOSSES
This portfolio shows the two sides of trading: smart wins and tough lessons, all managed with remarkable discipline on position sizing.
✅ The Winning Play ($PIPPIN
Long):
· Position: LONG
· Leverage: 15x
· Entry: $0.42269
· Current: $0.44749
· Gain: +$1,167.29 | +81.74% ROI
A clean, profitable trend trade executed well.
⚠️ The Lesson in Progress ($FORM
Short):
· Position: SHORT
· Leverage: 20x
· Entry: $0.3846
· Current: $0.3377
· Loss: -$3,658.34 | -277.76% ROI
Despite the loss, note the identical 35.41% Margin Ratio on both trades. This trader risked the same % of capital per trade—textbook position sizing.
However, the $FORM short highlights a critical gap: the absence of a tight stop-loss. The liquidation price is far away, but the loss has been allowed to run deep.
💡 The One Key Takeaway:
"Risk management isn't just about how much you risk. It's about when you decide you're wrong."
Profits are taken.Losses must be cut.
