📉 Short Masterclass: How to catch a +60% ROI in a correction ($BIRB / USDT)
Many chase green candles ("FOMO"), but profitable traders know that drops also pay. Today I share my Short (Sell) trade on BIRBUSDT, taking advantage of the exhaustion of the rise.
1. Market Reading (The "Setup")
• The scenario: BIRB had a massive "pump" up to 0.414, but could not sustain the price.
• The signal: The 15m chart showed weakness and red candles breaking the bullish structure.
• My Entry: I entered Short at 0.3267, confirming that the buying strength had ended.
2. Aggressive Management (Isolated 10x) Unlike my Swing trades (1x), here I used 10x Leverage.
• Why? Because it was a short-term trade (Scalping/Day Trading) seeking a quick correction. The risk is higher, but the reward is too.
3. The Art of "Locking in Profits" (Trailing Stop) This is the key to success in this trade. Notice my orders:
• Initial State: I had a protective Stop Loss in case the price rebounded.
• Advanced State (The Magic): With the price falling to 0.3079, I moved my Stop Loss to 0.3100.
• The Result: My Stop Loss is below my entry (0.3267). I have already secured the profit. If the market reverses, I exit with profit. If it keeps falling, I gain more.
📊 Final Results:
• ROI: +60.94%.
• Strategy: Short after trend exhaustion + Dynamic Stop Loss management.
💡 Lesson: Don’t get married to one direction. If it goes up, we buy. If it goes down, we sell (Short). The important thing is to secure the profit by moving the Stop Loss in our favor.
If you observed the image closely, you would see that I operated at Isolated 1x. Mathematically, it is the same as buying 'without leverage' (Spot), but with the advantage of using professional management tools to protect my capital. That strategy is what guaranteed me this +34% clean profit.
An extra piece of advice: next time pay attention to the details before commenting, and remember that it is written 'uses', not 'huses'. 😉

🚀 Case Study: How to achieve +34% ROI in 4 hours with ZERO stress ($RIVER / USDT)
Many believe that to win in Futures, a leverage of 50x is needed. Today I demonstrate the contrary: management beats greed. Here I share my operation step by step.
1. The Setup (Safety above all)
• Pair: RIVER/USDT • Mode: Isolated 1x (No real leverage). • Entry: 17.187 • Why 1x? To operate as a Swing Trader without liquidation risk due to volatility. Sleeping peacefully is part of the strategy.
2. The Execution: Manual "Trailing Stop" I didn’t leave the operation to chance. I used a progressive protection strategy:
• Phase 1 (Break Even): As soon as the price rose, I moved my Stop Loss (SL) to the entry price. Risk eliminated.
• Phase 2 (Securing Profit): When it broke $20, I raised the SL to 20.00. I had already guaranteed a +16% no matter what happened.
• Phase 3 (Shielding): When the price hit $24, I adjusted the SL to 22.00.
3. Technical Reading (15m Chart)
• I used the EMAs (Moving Averages) as a reference. • While the candles remained above the EMA 7 (yellow line), I let the profit run. • My Stop Loss was always strategically placed below the EMA support to give the price space.
4. The Exit (Psychology)
• The price marked a high of 24.60 and started to lose strength. • Decision: I didn’t wait to see if it "went up a little more". I executed the manual close at 23.084. • Result: +34.14% ROI (+4.10 USDT per contract) in less than 4 hours.
💡 Lesson of the day: Trading is not about guessing the maximum peak, but about securing profits progressively. Better to close manually with money in your pocket than to watch a red candle eat away your profit out of greed.
