Recently caught the $BEAT move, so I’ll share my thought process at the time.

I was going through the data and noticed the contract trading volume was pitifully low, but the open interest was stacked up really high—something didn’t add up. Then I checked the long/short ratio and saw that shorts were clearly dominant. Hmm? This setup was getting interesting.

I decisively opened a 10x long position. Didn’t have a clear idea of exactly when it would move, but I could feel it was coming soon.

Day one? It just hovered around my entry price, back and forth. My mindset almost broke. Over the weekend, I just stopped watching the charts and got lost in gaming for two days.

This morning, checked before work—damn, straight moonshot! I immediately moved my stop-loss up to lock in profits first. What next? Still gotta keep an eye on open interest and the long/short ratio changes, just take it step by step.

Sometimes, stepping away from the screen is actually the best strategy.

Not checking the market over the weekend, taking off on Monday—I'm convinced of this.

Not checking the market over the weekend is really a killer; coming back and soaring immediately, this is just fate.

The real secret to making money is stepping away from the screen—no doubt about it. --- Managing your mindset with 10x leverage is really tough. Not watching the market over the weekend actually helped me recover. --- When contract volume is low but positions are high, that's a signal—I’ve bottom-fished on that before. --- Moving your stop loss up is crucial. Otherwise, if it drops again, your mindset will blow up. --- That feeling of "it's about to happen"—you only develop that trading intuition after a lot of experience. --- After playing for two days, it just took off—this luck is unreal. --- For contrarian trades based on the long-short ratio, you really have to rely on the data.

Not watching the charts over the weekend is truly amazing. Come back and it just takes off—that’s my trading philosophy. --- 10x long position, huh? This guy’s got guts. I wouldn’t dare to do that. --- Making money by stepping away from the screen—I’ve heard it a lot but can’t do it myself. Still can’t break the habit of watching the charts every day. --- Low trading volume but high open interest? I’ve seen that signal too, just don’t know how to use it. --- I totally get that phase when your mindset is about to collapse. Every time I say I won’t watch the charts, but in the end, I just can’t help it. --- Moving up your stop loss like that is really impressive. Most people just stick to one price and get stuck. --- How do you interpret the long/short ratio being dominant? Which exchange has the most accurate data? --- That moment when $BEAT just takes off must be so satisfying. That feeling is worth a night of insomnia. --- Damn, grinding a 10x long position back and forth at breakeven—your mental strength is really something. --- Sometimes that gut feeling that it’s about to happen is even more accurate than any indicator. But you just can’t teach that to others. --- First look at the charts after two days gaming and it’s taking off—what kind of luck is that, haha.

I made money over the weekend by playing games instead of watching the market—that's my trading secret, haha.
