1. Solana Dominance (SOLDOM) — Long, Closed
Entry: 2.0039 · Exit: 2.0460 · 135x · +283.4%
The Setup:
SOLDOM spent the entire prior week beneath 2.00; the prior week’s high at 1.9894 never even reached it. On Saturday 8 August at 23:15 UTC it broke above 2.00, and the long went in at 2.0039 with the stop set back under the level, at 2.00. The trigger was technical: a level the market had spent a full week beneath finally gave way.
Trade Management:
Stop-loss set at 2, 0.1942% below entry. At 135x that costs 26.22% of margin. Worst drawdown was 0.104% from entry, about 54% of the way to the stop. Liquidation sits at 1.9911.
The Exit:
The take-profit was set at 2.05 and never filled. SOLDOM spent late June and most of July running into 2.05 and turning away from it, so resting the order there was the right call. Price ran to a weekly high of 2.04993 on Wednesday 12 August at 02:51 UTC and turned away again, a few ten-thousandths short of the order. That rejection is the reason for what followed: price sold off through Wednesday afternoon, and Thursday morning’s retest was not extending. It was market closed at 05:46 UTC on Thursday 13 August, into that stalled retest, with the order at 2.05 still unfilled.
What It Paid:
Move +2.10%. Net +283.4% at 135x. A stop-out would cost 26.22% of margin. 10.81R. Held 4d 7h.
Takeaway:
A level that turns price away a few ten-thousandths short of the order is still a level doing its job. A stalled retest was reason enough to market close and bank the move rather than wait on a fill that was not coming.

2. Tether Dominance (USDTDOM) — Short, Closed
Entry: 8.3223 · Exit: 8.3041 · 35x · +7.7%
The Setup:
Short from 8.3223, beneath the prior week’s close at 8.3734 that had capped the bounce. That close became the stop. The trigger was technical, entered Sunday 9 August at 23:56 UTC, targeting the prior week’s low at 8.3041.
Trade Management:
Stop-loss set at 8.3734, the prior week’s close. 0.6138% above entry. At 35x that costs 21.48% of margin. Worst drawdown was 0.050% from entry, about 8% of the way to the stop. Liquidation sits at 8.5518.
The Exit:
Take-profit filled at 8.3041, the prior week’s low, at 00:09 UTC on Monday 10 August. The order was set at entry: 8.3041 was where the prior week had bottomed, the obvious level to cover into.
What It Paid:
Move +0.22%. Net +7.7% at 35x. A stop-out would cost 21.48% of margin. 0.36R. Held 13m.
Takeaway:
The order was resting at a level that was already close, and it filled. A plan that pays in thirteen minutes is still the plan working.

3. BNB Dominance (BNBDOM) — Long, Closed
Entry: 3.5964 · Exit: 3.7500 · 15x · +64.1%
The Setup:
BNBDOM opened the week at 3.6113 and pulled back beneath 3.60. The long went in at 3.5964 on Thursday 6 August at 20:01 UTC, with the stop at 3.55 set above the prior week’s low at 3.5465. The trigger was technical: a pullback into the week’s own open.
Trade Management:
Stop-loss set at 3.55, 1.29% below entry. At 15x that costs 19.35% of margin. Worst drawdown was 0.706% from entry, about 55% of the way to the stop. Liquidation sits at 3.3602.
The Exit:
Take-profit filled at 3.75 at 17:04 UTC on Tuesday 11 August. The order was set at entry: BNBDOM ran into 3.75 and stalled there across four separate days in mid-June, and this was the first time back at the level since. The order had been resting there the whole trade.
What It Paid:
Move +4.27%. Net +64.1% at 15x. A stop-out would cost 19.35% of margin. 3.31R. Held 4d 21h. A stop 1.29% away is what supports 15x on this one.
Takeaway:
The order rested at a level that had capped the market in June, and it filled on the first retest.

4. Ethereum Dominance (ETHDOM) — Short, Closed
Entry: 10.5330 · Exit: 10.5000 · 45x · +14.1%
The Setup:
Short from 10.5330 into the prior week’s high at 10.5837, which became the stop. The trigger was technical, entered Friday 7 August at 14:24 UTC, targeting the round level at 10.50.
Trade Management:
Stop-loss set at 10.5837, the prior week’s high. 0.4809% above entry. At 45x that costs 21.64% of margin. Worst drawdown was 0.113% from entry, about 23% of the way to the stop. Liquidation sits at 10.7566.
The Exit:
Take-profit filled at 10.50 at 20:58 UTC on Friday 7 August, a few hours after entry. 10.50 is a round number sitting immediately beneath a cluster the market had just been trading around: this week’s open at 10.5122, and the prior week’s close at 10.5098. The order was set there at entry.
What It Paid:
Move +0.31%. Net +14.1% at 45x. A stop-out would cost 21.64% of margin. 0.65R. Held 6h 34m.
Takeaway:
A round number sitting just under the week’s open filled a few hours after entry. Sometimes the plan is that simple.

5. Tether Dominance (USDTDOM) — Long, Open
Entry: 8.2900 · Still open · 40x
The Setup:
Long at 8.2900 after the sweep of the prior week’s low at 8.3041, entered Monday 10 August at 03:25 UTC. Price traded through the low and the entry went in beneath it, with the stop at 8.25 set under the sweep. The trigger was technical.
Trade Management:
Stop-loss set at 8.25, 0.4822% below entry. At 40x that costs 19.29% of margin. Worst drawdown was 0.290% from entry, about 60% of the way to the stop. Liquidation sits at 8.0910.
Still Open Rationale:
The week closed with structure intact and price never having traded back through 8.2900. The order was still on the position: the take-profit resting at 8.50, the next level still unmet. The stop had been moved to breakeven at 8.2900, replacing the original invalidation at 8.25, which would have cost 19.29% of margin.
Takeaway:
A low taken out is a place to buy beneath it, not a place to wait for a reclaim that hasn’t happened.

Retrospective and illustrative only. Every trade shown here was selected after the fact, with full knowledge of how the week resolved. These are hypothetical results chosen in hindsight to illustrate the range of setups that dominance pairs produce in a single week. They are not a track record, not a representation of actual trading, and not a representation that any account did or would achieve these results.
Entries and exits are drawn from prices that printed during the stated window, but no fill is guaranteed to have been obtainable at any particular size, and the figures exclude trading fees, funding, slippage and price impact. Returns are expressed as a percentage of margin at the stated leverage; leveraged positions carry a risk of total loss, and a position can be liquidated by an adverse move well short of the levels shown.
