This was one of those trades where discipline mattered more than direction.
I entered a $LIGHT futures position with 20x leverage, fully aware that leverage doesn’t forgive hesitation. The setup looked clean on entry, but I stayed flexible instead of getting emotionally attached to the idea.
🔦Trade Logic Price was hovering near a short-term structure zone, and momentum initially suggested a possible continuation move. Volume wasn’t explosive, but it was enough to justify a calculated entry with tight risk management.
However, once price failed to reclaim resistance and momentum started fading, the reason for staying in the trade disappeared.
❎ Why I Closed With 20x leverage, protecting capital becomes the priority. The setup was no longer valid, so I exited instead of hoping the market would turn in my favor. Cutting the trade early kept the loss controlled and preserved room for better opportunities.
👉 Key Takeaway Leverage amplifies both gains and mistakes. What saved this trade wasn’t prediction, but execution. Knowing when not to stay in a position is just as important as knowing when to enter.
Every trade adds data. This one reinforced why sticking to a plan matters more than chasing outcomes.
