I’m sitting at a -5,478.65 USDT loss on my $ETH short. The market kept climbing, and I never tightened the stop; I kept hoping the pullback would come, but it didn’t. My plan now is to close the position tomorrow before the next funding window, then take a week off to review why I stayed in a losing trade for so long. I’m also going to write down the exact entry criteria I ignored this time. What should I look for next time to know when a short is simply out of control?
