Damn! I worked overtime until 3 AM last night, and when I woke up early this morning, I was stunned. My paycheck from my job hasn't arrived yet, but the market already gave me a big gift! Last night, within 15 minutes, I caught a Bollinger Bands downward breakout signal on $BABY. I thought, isn't this just an opportunity to send money to the exchange? So I went all in short. After a short nap, I woke up and saw I entered at 0.014770, and now the price has dropped close to 0.0145. I made a small profit but I'm still holding, targeting 0.013736, with a stop loss set tight at 0.015361. My heart is racing faster than when I drink iced Americano. My roommate is playing games next to me shouting "Charge!" but all I want to say is, screw that, I'm holding my position at the stop loss line, just like grinding through KPIs as a worker—equally intense. Looking at $ZK on the 2-hour chart, the Bollinger Band width is 5.06%, which is fairly wide, RSI is only 45.9, clearly weak and trending down. I added another short position at 0.013600, targeting 0.012104, with a stop loss at 0.014144. Honestly, these two trades combined might cost me about half of my monthly salary from my job, but if I bet right, I can pay off next month's rent and pork rice in advance. Shorting is like this: if you're not ruthless, the market makers will be ruthless to you. I'd rather be a short hunter than a bag holder. With today's market, I feel like it's a bull trap again; when the retail traders rush up, I'll harvest them. The life of a worker is like a knife fight with the market. Remember, the stop loss line is my talisman—if it breaks, I get out, no illusions. Now staring at the candlesticks, tears almost dropping on the keyboard. If this trade profits, I'll treat myself well; if it loses, I'll keep working to pay off debts. #NYSEParentCompanyAuthorizesOKXToLaunchCrudeOilContracts #ShortHunterDiary #LiveTradingRecord #RetailTraderSelfHelp #WorkerCryptoDaily

The scanner just went off, I took a look and immediately laughed—this market is giving me money again. Tonight's quantitative signals are all bearish: $XCH broke downwards on the 2-hour Bollinger Bands, RSI is only 44.8, the bearish momentum hasn't fully released yet. I placed a short at 2.414, take profit at 2.148, stop loss at 2.51. $KITE is even more extreme, the 15-minute Bollinger Band width is only 1.75%, such an extreme compression followed by a downward breakout often leads to the most brutal bull trap. I entered at 0.1989, take profit at 0.1849, stop loss at 0.2068. $LINEA also broke down on the 1-hour chart, my short at 0.002956 has been filled, target 0.00269, stop loss 0.003074. $POL also broke on the 15-minute chart, entered at 0.08894, take profit at 0.0827. Honestly, these four trades tonight remind me of the collective downward breakout last September—back then, multiple small coins simultaneously showed Bollinger Band contractions followed by breakouts, and most dropped over 15% within two days. Now market liquidity is shrinking; although Nvidia is still holding up the US stock market, Costco's consumer data is showing weakness, and funds are retreating from high-risk assets. On-chain AI sector TAO and FET are still partying hard, but the crowded trade warning signals are flashing; a stampede in crowded places is just a matter of time. I'm watching the candlesticks, my iced Americano has gone cold, my roommate is yelling like a maniac playing games in the next room. But I can't care about that now; my heartbeat is syncing with $XCH's candlestick—if 2.41 doesn't hold, the next support is directly at 2.3. The greatest pleasure of shorting is watching the price inch closer to the target, like boiling a frog in warm water, but we are the frog holding the knife. The 15-minute chart of $KITE has shown three consecutive bearish candles, volume is increasing, RSI is still at 49, far from oversold; this wave still has at least 5% room. $LINEA and $POL have similar trends, both showing volume contraction followed by volume breakout, a typical institutional sell-off pattern. Tonight I chose four short positions simultaneously to diversify risk, but each has a strict stop loss. The biggest fear in shorting is not being wrong on direction, but stubbornly refusing to stop loss. I've paid too many tuition fees in this market—last year’s $XCH fake breakout, I held for three days and got liquidated, back to square one overnight. Since then, stop loss has been my iron rule. It's now 2:47, $XCH has dropped to 2.402, down 0.5% from entry price, $KITE is at 0.1975. Everything is going according to plan. Now it's just waiting, letting time ferment the profits. #NYSEParentCompanyAuthorizesOKXToLaunchCrudeOilContracts #ShortHunterDiary #ShortSignals #LiveTradingRecord #QuantitativeTrading

Sorry everyone, I didn’t listen to your advice. When $LAT’s RSI dropped to the oversold zone at 23.2, I stubbornly thought it would fall further and held onto my short position without exiting. Then the manipulator suddenly pumped it up to 0.001130, and my 10x leverage position instantly went to zero. Now I’m staring at the tiny leftover balance in my account, my iced Americano has gone cold but I don’t even feel like drinking it. My roommate is blasting games next door, and all I can do is stare blankly at the stop-loss price of 0.001021— I should have exited long ago but insisted on gambling on a breakdown. $CRV was even more ridiculous. I saw the Bollinger Bands narrowing to a 3.18% downward breakout signal, entered at 0.214600 with a target of 0.195286 and stop-loss at 0.223184. But right after opening the short, there was a small rebound, RSI stuck at 58.4, neither up nor down. I stubbornly held until the stop-loss was hit. Now I can only watch it slowly slide toward the target—this cut hurts more than liquidation. The $ZBCN short at RSI 68.8 was a joke. The suggested entry was 0.003211 but I insisted on chasing short at 0.003058 current price, and got trapped. Now I’m down 20%, stop-loss at 0.003389 still hanging there, tears almost dropping into my pork rice. $RESOLV and $BERA also had Bollinger Band downward breakouts, one on the 1H chart and the other on 2H. Entries were at current prices with tight stop-losses. $RESOLV target 0.019547, $BERA target 0.306783, looks good, but where do I have money to open positions now? I’ve lost even my underwear, completely zeroed out. Thinking back, no matter how accurate the quant scanner signals are, they can’t save you from your own stubbornness. If I had entered $LAT at the suggested 0.001085 limit order, I’d be up at least 10%; if I had strictly stopped out on $CRV, I wouldn’t have been slapped in the face. But I insisted on being a contrarian hero and got crushed by the market. I admit my mistake, completely admit it. This tuition fee was paid in blood. From now on, I’ll only play defense, only follow the trend, and never touch high-leverage stubborn positions again. #NYSEParentCompanyAuthorizesOKXToLaunchCrudeOilContracts #LATPump #CRVShortStopLoss #ZeroDiary #DefenseIsTheKey

Woke up early and got paid right away! Last night I was worried about getting stopped out, but when I opened my eyes, the $ETC short position directly brought me a chicken leg meal! Floating profit of 112U, profit rate 135%, the Bollinger Bands break below on the 1H timeframe is really solid, RSI only 56.2 and it already dropped, is the market maker trying to lure a long? No way. I set my stop loss at 8.62, target 7.54, and the trailing stop is already set, definitely not greedy for that last bit. But this market won’t let you have it easy all the time. $GRASS’s RSI is already 65, still hovering around 0.50, I couldn’t resist opening a small short last night at 0.528, stop loss at 0.551. This kind of high-level oscillation is the worst, like a tough beef tendon you can’t chew, watching the candlesticks makes my heart race, my roommate is playing games next to me shouting “Support!”, I yelled back “Shut up! I’m holding a position!” Almost cried into my now cold iced Americano. If it keeps stalling for another two hours without dropping, I’m ready to manually cut half and keep some position to bet it crashes to 0.39. Over at $MEGA, the 15M Bollinger Bands broke down, looks good, but I didn’t dare go heavy. Entered at 0.0616, stop loss 0.0641, target 0.0573, position only equivalent to 0.2 SOL. This kind of small coin has terrible liquidity, one spike can trigger your stop loss, I’ve lost too much on this kind of thing, tuition fees that could have paid half a year’s rent. Now I only dare to test the waters lightly, aiming to make some milk tea money and run. But there’s an outlier. $CORE’s 2H timeframe actually gave a breakout signal upwards, RSI only 51, Bollinger Band width 5.14%, is it secretly gearing up? I hesitated for a long time but still didn’t go heavy. I’ve seen too many fake breakouts after low-level sideways trading, market makers often pump shorts then smash longs. I’d rather watch it rise than go in and lose my head. But if it breaks and holds above 0.03 with volume, I might chase a very short-term trade, stop loss at 0.0286, if I lose, I’ll just treat the market maker to a pig’s trotter meal. Summary: Today $ETC was great, $GRASS is holding, $MEGA is testing, $CORE is watching. The market is like a crazy woman, the more you chase her, the more she runs; if you ignore her, she sticks to you. I’m going to take a cold shower to calm down, then come back to set a trailing stop for $GRASS. Never let floating profits turn into losses, this is a hard rule learned from liquidation. #NYSEParentCompanyAuthorizesOKXToLaunchCrudeOilContracts #LiveTradingRecord #ShortHunterDiary #MarketMakersDontRun

Damn, I scanned through my quant radar and it's all traps. 🛡️ Just staring at the screen, my iced Americano next to me has gone cold, my roommate is shouting like he's slaughtering pigs playing Honor of Kings, while I'm focused on the Bollinger Bands of these 5 coins, heart rate shooting up to 140. This market manipulator loves to make moves on Friday nights, trying to trick old retail traders like me into chasing highs? No way! First, $ENA, the 2-hour Bollinger Bands broke downwards, currently at 0.089030, RSI only 46.2, meaning it's not oversold yet, still room to drop. I already placed a short at 0.089030, target 0.079237, about 10% profit. Stop loss set at 0.092591, a bit tight, but Bollinger Band width is only 4.88%, this volume-contracted downward breakout should be strong. If stopped out, I accept the loss, better than being stuck at the peak. Then $AVAX, 1-hour also broke downwards, short at 8.968, target 8.160, stop loss 9.326. This manipulator pumped it earlier, now RSI at 54.5, neutral, with Bollinger Band width only 2.65%, typical narrow-range consolidation before a directional move. I bet on down because the overall environment is weak, who dares to bet up? Unless you have money to burn. $DOT also broke down on 1-hour, short at 1.227, target 1.116, stop loss 1.276. RSI at 59.3 looks like there's momentum, but Bollinger Band width 2.98% shows it's struggling in a small box. I've seen too many fake breakouts like this, RSI above 60 then suddenly smashed down. I'm not fooled, going short directly. $SHIB is interesting, 1-hour broke upwards, currently 0.000005, target 0.000006, stop loss 0.000005. RSI 60.4 looks like a breakout, but I'm extremely cautious with this MEME coin. Bollinger Band width 2.51% upward breakout is likely a bull trap, the manipulator pumps 2% then dumps hard, harvesting the dumb chasing highs. I’m not touching this because my style is short and defensive; upward signals like this are traps to me. Whoever wants to chase, go ahead, I’m staying out. Lastly, $WLFI, 15-minute downward breakout, short at 0.05798, target 0.053921, stop loss 0.060299. RSI 44.6, Bollinger Band width only 1.24%, extremely compressed before directional choice. I use the 15-minute chart for swing trades, quick in and out, take profit and run, no attachment. Summary: Among these signals, 4 coins broke down, 1 broke up. Market sentiment clearly bearish, but $SHIB’s upward signal is likely a manipulator’s muddying tactic. My positions are set: $ENA, $AVAX, $DOT, $WLFI all short. If it dumps tonight, I’ll treat myself to a chicken leg tomorrow. If stopped out, I’ll shut down the computer, go downstairs for some pork trotter rice, and try again tomorrow. In trading, staying alive is the most important. 🛡️ #NYSEParentCompanyAuthorizesOKXToLaunchCrudeOilContracts #ShortAndDefend #LiveTradingRecord #BollingerBandBreakout #BearHunter

Haha, the CFTC approved the first regulated $BTC perpetual contract, and retail investors are celebrating again? Mainstream media hails it as a milestone, but what I see is the government legalizing the casino right in its own backyard 🔥 Regulated leverage? Isn't that just packaging the risk to look shinier! So what if $BTC surged to $74K, the ETF is still bleeding $2.84 billion. Don't be naive, this is clearly handing institutions a safer scythe for shorting. My funds, I watch them myself. #NYSEParentCompanyAuthorizesOKXToLaunchCrudeOilContracts

$SONIC 15M Bollinger Bands opening downward, a false breakout bull trap, I went short directly. 🐻 Entry at 0.035010, target 0.032559, stop loss 0.036410. RSI 64.7 still high, BB width shrunk to 3.26%, no mercy for the bulls this round. On the other hand, $THETA 1H breaks upward, RSI 61.7, width 3.13%, looks like the real deal. But I don't trust any bulls right now, better to miss out than chase. 📉 Entry at 0.188500, target 0.205465, stop loss 0.180960, let the bulls play on their own. This market, only shorts can give me peace of mind. ⚠️ #SonicTheta #BearishSetup

Bollinger Bands double kill, $RON and $IMX simultaneously break downwards. On the 15-minute timeframe, both assets chose to move down after the bands contracted, RSI is below 50, bearish momentum is still brewing. $RON current price 0.07743, target 0.07201, stop loss 0.08052; $IMX current price 0.15690, target 0.14591, stop loss 0.16317. The width has only contracted about 3.4%, such breakouts often have inertia. Short positions are placed, stop losses set, the rest is up to the market.🩸 #BollingerSqueeze #BearishBreakout

$1INCH Bollinger Bands are narrowing and breaking downwards, a clear bearish signal on the 15-minute chart. Price at 0.085040, enter directly, target 0.079087, stop loss 0.088442. RSI 45.1, bearish momentum just starting, don’t rush to catch the falling knife. ⚠️ $USDS also shows a 15-minute downward breakout, Bollinger Band width only 0.18%, an extremely compressed breakout is even more deadly. Enter at 1.001000, target 0.930930, stop loss 1.041040. RSI 49.0, the boundary between bulls and bears, I choose to side with the bears. Is the market trying to lure bulls? I’m not falling for it. Set your stop loss properly and wait to harvest. 🩸 #BollingerSqueeze #BearishBreakout

$PROS and $LDO simultaneously issued a Bollinger Bands lower band breakout signal.
