When the Bank of Japan's rate hike signal was announced, my first reaction was—bad news might have been mostly digested. It was around 11 a.m. at the time, and the price was still hovering around 2833. I immediately closed all my short positions, planning to switch to a long position.

Honestly, looking back now, I kind of regret this move. The unrealized profit from the short positions was almost wiped out by more than 200,000, and that feeling was really frustrating. But it also taught me a lesson—trading requires strong execution, and you can't let all kinds of external noise influence your rhythm.

My current plan is very clear: keep a close eye on the 3400 to 3450 range. Once the price goes up, I will reopen short positions to recover the profits I gave back. After all, the technical setup is still there, and opportunities will come again.

This round of central bank signals reversed and cut short positions. To be honest, it was just a trap by the news; the technical analysis is the real boss.

I think the logic behind this move isn't actually a problem; it's just that the execution was a bit rushed. Losing over 200,000 in unrealized gains is indeed frustrating, but to be fair, signals from the central bank are inherently easy to misinterpret. Sticking to the 3400 range for now is also fine, but my advice is not to be too obsessed with recovering the gains you've given back; this mindset can lead to trouble. Opportunities will definitely come again, but the prerequisite is that you're still alive.

This move really bet on the right direction, but the timing was a bit rushed. Details determine success or failure. Not holding onto the floating profit of over 200,000 definitely feels frustrating. I'm also watching the 3400-3450 range, feeling this could be the turnaround. Execution is easier to talk about than to do. You've got it, boss. Next time, don't be fooled by news sentiment; technical analysis is the real key.

This wave of signals from the Bank of Japan is indeed a bit tricky. I watched over 200,000 in unrealized gains disappear right before my eyes. I really can't hold on anymore. I'm also watching the 3400 to 3450 range, just to see if this move can make up for the losses.
