BTC: Controlling the Move

On August 31, I opened a long on the 1-hour chart from $109,400. The upward move to $113,360 allowed me to secure three stages of profit. Nearly $4,000 difference per coin — I took part of it and deliberately left part to the market. Missed profit here isn’t a mistake, it’s part of the strategy.

The key was not guessing but management. Levels were outlined in advance, each step was monitored, so the position developed calmly without unnecessary emotions. For me, that’s essential: the market is volatile enough, there’s no need to add chaos.

With experience, you realize that strength lies not in one-off “shots,” but in consistency. When the structure of a trade is visible from entry to exit, it’s easier to hold the position. Emotions take a back seat, and results come not from luck but from discipline.

This approach makes missed dollars nothing to fear — they’re just part of the process. What matters is that the process is guided by a system, not by randomness.
