◆ Trade Review · September 28–October 03
Bonsoir. Welcome to the Wall Street High Wealth Invest Channel.
On the weekend, let’s review a few trades from this week together.
【Key Takeaways】
This week’s four trades resulted in two wins and two losses, with a net positive outcome. What’s truly worth noting is that both profitable trades came from limit orders in less-followed sectors, while both losing trades came from judgment errors in popular directions.
【Winning Trades】
· GOOGL Long｜09-28 Public @341.499 → TP 347.757｜+1.83%｜+1.47R
At the time, we believed internet platforms were a less-followed direction. There was order support at the limit order level of 341.499, so we went Long. We held for about 51 hours. The TP was 347.757, and the price moved +1.83%, or +1.47R. The key to this execution was choosing an entry point that nobody was paying attention to. The market then cooperated: even with the S&P 500 down -0.27% this week, the stock still moved independently. This suggests the stock’s individual logic outweighed the index’s drag.
· HOOD Long｜09-30 Public @111.412 → TP 115.908｜+4.04%｜+1.47R
Crypto-related exposure is a less-followed sector. We placed a Long limit order at 111.412, held for about 24 hours, and took profit at 115.908. The price rose +4.04%, or +1.47R. News like executive changes often brings short-term volatility, but the price didn’t break structure—instead, it provided us with an opportunity to exit. The discipline here was straightforward: once the TP was hit, we exited immediately, without extending the hold based on the news cycle.
【Losing Trades】
· ARM Short｜09-30 Public @294.522 → Closed 307.265｜-4.33%｜-1.00R
Semiconductor design is a popular direction. We chose Short and placed a limit order at 294.522, but the price moved the opposite way to 307.265. We exited according to discipline: -4.33%, -1.00R, held for about 49 hours. The mistake was that momentum in the popular segment was stronger than expected. The Nasdaq was also up +0.45% this week, providing additional support. Exiting by discipline means the loss was locked to 1R and prevented a single trade error from turning into a larger drawdown.
· CRCL Long｜09-21 Public @88.854 → Closed 85.721｜-3.53%｜-1.00R
Crypto-related is a less-followed direction. We placed a Long limit order at 88.854, held for about 67 hours, and ultimately exited by discipline at 85.721. That was -3.53%, -1.00R. The issue here was the holding time was too long, while the price never realized the anticipated logic. Uncertainty driven by MiCA-related news suppressed the possibility of a rebound. Exiting shows we accept when the thesis fails, rather than waiting for the market to turn back.
【Lessons Learned】
The common thread in the two winning trades is that they used less-followed sectors with limit-order fills. The common thread in the two losing trades is that direction and sector momentum were misaligned. Actionable improvements: for popular-sector Shorts, we need stricter confirmation signals; for less-followed Longs, the holding time should not exceed the window where the thesis is expected to play out.
Note: Performance is based on simulated fills using public limit-entry prices (minute K-line determination). Fees, funding rates, and slippage are not included.
