Today marked a milestone in my crypto journey. As I closed an ETH short position I built earlier this week, I successfully locked in profits.

The trade was executed using my copytrade strategy, and this time both the entry and the exit played out exactly as planned. To put it simply, the approach is built on tracking a particular smart whale whose strength lies in timing local tops. The insight behind this system is simple: his entries are consistently sharp, but his exits are often less precise. My edge is to follow his signal for the entry, then manage the exit based on my own risk/reward assessment.

This week’s trade was a perfect example. The whale opened his short at ETH $3,846. The next three days saw choppy price action, even pushing to a local top around $3,940—about $100 above the entry. But patience paid off. On the fifth day, ETH slid to a local bottom of $3,584, creating a spread of $262 from the initial short. I exited at $3,620, securing a 90% ROI in just five days.

Beyond the numbers, this trade means more than profit. It validated the core thesis behind my copytrade strategy, strengthened my confidence in disciplined execution, and served as a stepping stone in my evolution as both a crypto trader and a Pattern Strategist.

I’m proud of this trade—not just for the gains, but for the process. Strategy, patience, and discipline aligned, and the market rewarded it.
