DASH: two trades, with 2757.37U realized. The most worth reviewing part is this: when I wanted to close the position, it wasn’t necessarily something I could actually exit at the intended price.
The first trade earned 2160.75U, and the second earned 596.62U. If you only look at the profit screenshot, the first trade looks more “beautiful.” But behind the fills are things like unfilled limit orders and the price suddenly jumping away.
In the first trade, my maximum position exceeded ten thousand DASH. I held it for 1 hour 18 minutes, opened at an average of 72.50, and finally closed at an average of 72.28.
I managed to close around 72, and also around 71.80.
Looking at the records, it seems like I only “sold a little each time,” but the real situation was: the limit orders couldn’t consistently execute. I could only split them into chunks of roughly 10,000U each, gradually reducing the position.
The prices that appeared on my screen don’t mean my entire position could all be filled at those prices.
Later, the price jumped upward. The remaining position was handled with market orders in several batches, and during the closing process the quoted prices kept rising. The final buy-back was at 72.69.
Looking back, the profit was indeed given back—but you can’t explain it with just one line like “why not close earlier.”
In the second trade, the maximum position was about 958 DASH. The entry average was 73.08, the exit average was 72.42, and it finished in 12 minutes and 14 seconds, netting 596.62U. The maximum position was less than one-tenth of the first trade, yet the profit was about 28% of the first trade.
The two entries were different, so you can’t simply compare them. But this time it made me much more clear: position size doesn’t only affect unrealized P&L—it also affects whether you can exit smoothly.
Entering is a position. Exiting is the result.
Next time, besides judging direction, I also need to include order-book support, whether limit orders get filled, and the exit cost in my plan. Especially when trading short-term pullbacks: once the price jumps, the gap between the profit on the screen and the profit finally realized can be quite large.
I’m 98K. The trade details are public in real time, and I’ve also written down the process that isn’t visible in the profit screenshots.
