Alright 😎 $24,000 on $RIVER
is not small size — that’s real conviction.
But now we switch from confidence mode to risk management mode.
Confidence makes money. Overconfidence gives it back.
Let’s break this down properly 👇
🔎 First Question (Be Honest)
At what price did you enter?
Because $24K position size means:
A 5% move = $1,200
A 10% move = $2,400
A 20% move = $4,800
This is no longer a “vibes” trade. This is a portfolio event.
🧠 What Matters Now
1️⃣ Where is your invalidation?
If RIVER loses key structure (example: previous higher low or base zone), you must know where you're wrong.
No stop = gambling. Clear stop = professional.
2️⃣ Are you in profit already?
If yes:
Consider scaling out 20–30% at first resistance.
Move stop to breakeven on partial size.
If no:
Do NOT add emotionally.
Wait for structure confirmation.
3️⃣ What type of trade is this?
Intraday scalp?
Swing?
Position trade?
Your exit logic must match the timeframe.
⚠️ Important Reality Check
RIVER has been:
+40% explosive
Highly volatile
Attracting momentum traders
These moves either:
Continue hard 🚀
or
Retrace violently 📉
There is rarely “slow middle ground.”
🔥 Smart Playbook With $24K Size
If price is around 18–19:
Protect below last strong higher low.
Trim into strength, not weakness.
Never let a green trade turn deep red.
