XNY’s move this time was timed perfectly.

Just one more minute and the gains on paper could have completely evaporated. Honestly, my heart was almost pounding out of my chest while watching the screen—the price was surging, but the pullback was even fiercer. I hesitated for just a few seconds but ultimately made a decisive move.

Looking back now, that decision was really like dancing on the edge of a knife. The market never gives you a chance to regret. Get in a bit early and you’re greedy, get in a bit late and you’re left holding the bag. Get it just right? That depends on a mix of luck and instinct.

A reminder for everyone: controlling your position size is far more important than catching the perfect entry.
