#ShareMyTrade Spot Trade Breakdown

This trade was a clean example of how simplicity, patience, and structure can outperform aggressive decision-making. Instead of chasing momentum, the focus was on reading the market context and letting price come into favorable zones.

Market Context
At the time of entry, Ethereum was trading in a consolidation range after a prior bullish move. Higher timeframes were still holding a constructive structure, with no major breakdown signals. This told me the broader trend was intact, even though short-term volatility was present. Rather than reacting to every candle, the plan was to let the market come to me.

Buy Strategy
ETH approached a well-defined demand area where price had previously attracted strong buying interest. Instead of a single aggressive entry, I used a DCA approach. This reduced timing risk and removed emotional pressure from the trade. The goal was not to catch the exact bottom, but to build a solid average entry within a zone that made sense structurally.

This approach allowed me to stay calm during minor pullbacks and stick to the plan without second-guessing.

Sell Strategy
On the upside, I identified a prior resistance zone where price had previously struggled. As ETH moved into this area, I started taking partial profits. Locking in gains early helped protect capital and reduced stress.

The remaining position was managed more defensively. Once momentum began to slow and price failed to push cleanly through resistance, the rest of the position was closed. No greed, no hope-based holding, just reacting to what the market was showing.

PnL Review
The profit was not massive, but it was clean and controlled. No overtrading, no revenge entries, and no emotional exits. Consistency matters far more than trying to force big wins, especially in spot trading where capital preservation is key.

Key Takeaway
This trade reinforced an important lesson: in spot markets, patience beats speed. Waiting for good zones, managing risk, and taking profits logically builds long-term confidence and account stability. You do not need to trade every move. You only need to trade the right ones.

Final Note
This trade reflects my personal experience and decision-making process. It is shared for educational discussion only and should not be taken as financial advice.

Sometimes the best trades are not the loudest ones, but the calm, disciplined executions that quietly grow your account over time.
