At the beginning of the new year, many traders are thinking about how to optimize their strategies. Here is a recent real trading operation summary, involving short positions on several popular cryptocurrencies.

ZEC performed the best. In December, when the price was around 540, I advised not to cut losses. At that time, the short position was entered at 455, and now the price has dropped to 370, yielding significant profits. On the 9th, after a rebound to around 450, I shorted again. Currently, the position is around 377, and profits continue to grow.

Other cryptocurrencies also yielded gains. CC entered a short at 0.176 and exited at 0.13, securing stable profits. CLO had two operations—entered at 0.394 on the 2nd and exited at 0.36, then later allowed followers to add to the short around 0.75. It has now fallen to about 0.6. WLD's short at 0.5724 is currently at 0.5717. Considering funding fee income, it basically breaks even and earns the fee rate spread.

PIPPIN's short above 0.5 eventually dropped to 0.222, with a considerable profit margin. LIGHT, although losing due to a failed hedge against funding fees, is an unavoidable situation in trading.

It is worth mentioning that not all plans were fully executed. The short on BTC entered at 90000 with a target of 93800 but did not trigger the entry condition, with the lowest only dropping to 90800. The short on RIVER near 24 also did not enter due to price fluctuations.

Overall, the strategy has achieved good results in identifying rebound highs and support levels, especially in the operations of assets like ZEC and CLO. Trading will never be 100% successful; the key is to continuously optimize your approach through review.

ZEC this wave is indeed amazing. The wave at 455 looked a bit crazy, and it actually dropped to 370. How bold do you have to be? PIPPIN dropped from 0.5 to 0.222. This must be a paradise for bears, with profits not just doubling. It's a bit of a pity that I didn't enter the short at 90000 for BTC, but I also avoided the risk. Rational. Not all trades are profitable. The LIGHT wave reminded me that funding fees are truly a double-edged sword. ZEC and CLO both feel good, with precise timing on rebounds at high points. Trading is like this: it's satisfying when you make money, but you also have to accept losses. Review and reflection are the most important.

ZEC this wave is indeed fierce, but don't be blinded by this surge, I see signs of danger in the MACD... Wait, isn't it an advantage that BTC didn't enter the market? I feel something's off, the head and shoulders top pattern has clearly broken down, next time when bottom-fishing at high levels, be more cautious. As for LIGHT's losses... it's actually a capital fee hedging logic issue, not your fault, purely from a technical perspective... well, never mind, it's still a bit painful. I need to review this CLO operation, the drop from 0.75 to 0.6 looks smooth, but I want to confirm the support level on the sentiment indicator, because I’ve always been bad at identifying rebound highs. WLD capital preservation and profit rate difference? This is what I call the market cycle, looking like no profit but actually a loss... No, from a technical perspective, it's still a prudent operation.

Haha, ZEC this wave is really fierce, soaring directly from 455 to 370. You must be very brave to buy the dip. PIPPIN dropped to 0.222? It takes someone very determined to hold on. I would have already lost my nerve. That BTC trade, not entering the market might actually be lucky. Sometimes missing out is actually earning. CLO's two operations are quite well connected, but right now, the person with the best mentality in the crypto circle is the winner. WLD's trade basically broke even after fees, now that's playing smart. Daring to write about failed trades shows a strong mindset. Some people just can't be relied on. Will they learn their lesson next time? ZEC and CLO are indeed the star assets of this wave. Those who review and analyze their trades are the ones who last the longest. Just having this awareness already surpasses half of retail investors.

zec's that aggressive hold call paid off hard... respect the conviction even when it looked rough. but ngl the btc whiff at 90k still stings lol. 这kind of selective entry discipline separates nodes from noise honestly

Basically, it's just gambling on the direction. The ZEC move was indeed fierce, dropping from 455 to 370. Watching the numbers fluctuate is like witnessing the market sentiment collapse. But look, LIGHT lost money, and BTC didn't even enter the market—this is the truth of the cycle. Sometimes your precise predictions are just a joke in the face of market sentiment. The most ironic thing is the WLD that earned a bit from the spread—breaking even still depends on funding fees, how painful is that... When it comes to trading, true discipline isn't about winning; it's about accepting those orders that didn't get filled. Sometimes, they are more valuable than the money you made.

zec this round of short positions is indeed fierce, buying the dip at 455 and shorting down to 370, no words for the guts CLO's two operations both paid off, now that's someone who knows how to short It's a pity the BTC order didn't go through, the target of 93,800 is really ambitious The loss order is acceptable, profit and loss are part of trading, as long as the overall win is fine PIPPIN dropped from 0.5 to 0.222? That's a pretty strong increase, how to find such opportunities next time WLD capital preservation fee rate difference income, a conservative choice
