The decision to go short yesterday, only realized how rushed it was during the review today. Although in the end I didn't lose but made a small profit, this is not the correct trading approach.

Look at the 2.25-2.33 range, support level, concentrated chips, and the upper trendline of the downtrend — three technical lines almost converge at the same point. This is a typical turning point, and the direction is unclear. When encountering such a situation, the smartest move is not to bet on a direction, but to wait.

Wait for what? Wait for the direction to truly emerge. Wait for the price to give you a clear signal. This is much more cost-effective than forced guessing.

Looking back, every trade should prompt three questions. Find three reasons to support this trade before taking action. If you can't find them? Then just hold off. Although this discipline may seem to cause missed opportunities, it actually helps avoid more pitfalls.
