In the volatile world of crypto, every trade is a lesson — whether you win or lose. Recently I took a short position on ENS/USDT and locked in a strong profit of +129.07% (+USDT 251.77) with precise execution and disciplined risk management. In this article I’ll dive into the why, how and what I learned from this trade — and how you might apply similar principles in your trading.
1. Trade Breakdown
Pair: ENS/USDT (Perpetual Contract)Entry Price: USDT 1.174368Close Price (Avg): USDT 1.127000Profit & Loss (PNL): +USDT 251.77 → +129.07% gainClose Time: 2025-11-03 19:21
The trade was opened when I identified a setup that aligned with my criteria (which I’ll outline shortly). Once my target was met I exited without hesitation.
2. Why ENS? The Underlying Story
Understanding the project helps in timing and conviction.

ENS (Ethereum Name Service) is a decentralized naming system built on the ETH / blockchain. It converts human-readable names (like yourname.eth) into machine addresses and metadata. support.ens.domains+1Its token ($ENS) is used for governance of the ENS DAO, which oversees the protocol’s future direction. docs.ens.domains+1Because ENS is foundational infrastructure for Web3 identity and naming, shifts in its ecosystem often reflect broader sentiment or structural changes.
So when I saw signs of a reversal / exhaustion in price, I believed this pair offered a strong risk-reward for a short.
3. Setup & Entry Logic
Here’s how I prepared the trade:

Technical signal: I observed price had recently formed lower highs with weakening momentum (for example a clear rejection zone).Risk management: I defined a clear stop-loss (above my entry) and a target zone where I believed price could move.Timing & execution: I avoided jumping in prematurely. I waited for a confirmation that the bounce or retracement had stalled, then entered the short.

The entry at 1.174368 was chosen because it matched my criteria for reversal risk being smaller compared to the potential gain.

4. Exit & Outcome
I monitored the trade continuously until price reached ~1.127000, which hit my target.Once my target was reached, I booked profit immediately — no hesitation.The result: +129.07% return (USDT +251.77) — a strong outcome that reflects disciplined planning.
5. What I Learned
Here are the key lessons from this trade:

Discipline beats luck: It wasn’t a random guess — the setup, rules and execution were aligned.
Patience is undervalued: Waiting for confirmation before entry reduced risk and increased confidence.Exit when you planned: Sticking to the target rather than chasing more always helps preserve profit.
Ecosystem knowledge matters: Understanding what ENS is and its role in Web3 gave me higher conviction in the trade.Trade your plan, not your emotion: At no point did I let fear or greed override the initial plan.

6. Tips For Your Trades
If you’re thinking of doing similar trades, here are some actionable tips:

Always define entry, stop-loss, and target before placing the trade.Understand what you’re trading (protocol, token utility) so you know when fundamental signals matter.Use technical confirmation — for example, a rejection candle, volume spike, or trendline break.Manage risk: Never risk more than you’re comfortable losing.Keep a trading journal: record setups, outcomes, lessons.View each trade as a step in growth, not just a win or a loss.
7. Final Thoughts


The crypto market gives opportunities — but only if you’re prepared. In this ENS/USDT short trade I combined ecosystem knowledge + technical setup + disciplined execution and it paid off.

Going forward, I aim to replicate this approach: find setups where the risk-reward is skewed in our favour, stick to the plan, and continuously learn.

If you’re on your crypto trading journey: build your strategy, stay disciplined, and always view the market as a teacher.
