January 16 Trading Diary:

The market was relatively calm during the day, with only one long position profit. But the turning point came at night—successfully predicting a possible black swan event on Friday, Bitcoin reversed and dropped 1400 points, then secured two substantial profits.

Detailed trading performance:
• BTC Long: 95271→95787, profit of 5156U
• BTC Short: 95448→94847, profit of 3004U
• ETH Short: 3312→3252, profit of 4807U

Total intraday profit: 12967U

Trading insights: There's no need to feel disappointed about the calmness during the day, nor to be caught off guard by sudden night market movements. True trading wisdom lies in recognizing that not every day will be profitable, but maintaining daily observation and review is key to continuous accumulation. In the face of volatility, what’s needed is calm judgment and flexible response rhythm.

Continue to monitor the movements of main cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, and others, and look for opportunities at every market turning point.

Taking the 3004U short position at night was absolutely brilliant. I also predicted it this way but didn't dare to hold a heavy position. Still too inexperienced.
