I decided to publicly test my intraday trading. Swing trading remains in my portfolio as the main base, but here I will exclusively share the results of intraday sessions.
The goal is simple: to prove to myself and the market that systematic approaches and strict timing beat randomness.
Trading window: Mon-Fri strictly from 10:00 to 19:00 (UTC+2). At 19:01, new trades are not opened, regardless of the market situation.
January 27 entered a long position, initially was in profit.
When the price reached $3,030, I thought about taking some profits. I didn't do it - decided to give more room for growth. In a swing trade, it's important to catch the larger movements. If you take profits every +2-4%, the purpose is lost. But the risk is that you might hit a stop.
My stop is just below 2880 - if we break through, I will exit with a loss. Unpleasant, but the loss is accounted for in my risk management. If we bounce off the current levels - I will give the positions a chance to develop.
At the moment, the situation is uncertain - either the support will hold and we will go higher, or we will break down and I will close at the stop. I am watching the price reaction at key levels.
AXS — this is not just a crypto asset. It is part of the gaming economy of Axie Infinity, where players themselves influence the price movement.
In the game: 🐾 characters (Axies) are bought and developed 🏆 they participate in battles 🎯 they receive in-game rewards
These rewards can be converted, staked, or used within the ecosystem.
Recent updates in the game have strengthened economic incentives: • mechanics have emerged that reduce pressure on the sale of AXS • player activity in game modes has increased • in-game tokens have been integrated to maintain the value of the ecosystem
This creates a situation where demand for the token is fueled not only by speculation on the exchange but by the functioning of the game economy itself.
As long as the momentum and interest remain, shorting AXS is a high-risk idea, even if the price already seems "overheated".$ $AXS
The strangest thing is to look for longs in a nervous market. Here, it's not the one who guesses the bottom that wins, but the one who doesn't argue with the movement. $ETH $BTC
On Friday, I mentioned that the long idea (specifically in my case) is no longer relevant and I switched to short.
Over the weekend, the position was in the red — now it's already in the green. The negative in the moment — is a normal part of the trade if the reason for entry is not violated.
As long as the structure holds — I'll keep the short. Next, we watch the price reaction.
This is not about guessing. This is about patience, working with emotions, and risk management.
The level I held as support is no longer being held. For me, this is not 'noise', but a clear signal that the long idea is no longer relevant. I do not overstay in the market and do not wait for 'returns for comfort'. The structure has changed → the position too. Currently in short. Let's see... $ETH
I am still holding the long position. The price is currently in the support zone, where there was previously buyer interest. After the impulse, the market did not continue to rise immediately, but transitioned into consolidation — this is normal behavior, not weakness.
The key point for me is that the price remains above EMA(25) on the 4H and the structure has not broken yet.
As long as the market holds this area, the long scenario remains relevant.
❌ I will exit the position if: — the price consolidates below support — EMA(25) is broken with confirmation — the structure stops being long
Until that moment, I do not interfere with the trade and do not make decisions based on emotions. Trading is not about guessing where the price will go next, but working with what the market shows right now. $ETH
