2026 will be a turning point, I believe so. Since entering this circle in 2017, I have experienced countless ups and downs, and only now have I started to understand the ins and outs. Being able to stay calm and sit on the sidelines at high levels, as well as holding positions when opportunities arise, allows me to plan calmly and react quickly when the market explodes—this is my current state.

Whether trading spot or futures, my experience is simple but very important: before placing an order, you must ask yourself two questions. First, what is the maximum amount I can lose on this trade? Second, what is my profit target? Clarifying these two numbers before taking action.

These lessons have been summarized over the years. I hope to exchange ideas with everyone and walk more steadily in this market. Wishing everyone success in the upcoming market!

A veteran of 9 years is right, stop-loss and take-profit are the essential fuels to be installed before launch --- The 2026 moon landing plan, let's wait and see. Anyway, my booster is already installed --- The two most critical questions hit right at my core. Many retail investors just don't think this through and end up going all in and getting rekt --- It's not easy to stay so clear-headed since 2017. Most people have long been taught by the market to doubt everything --- I've learned that holding a high-position cash position is more reliable than any technical analysis --- They are all right, but knowing is easy, doing is hard. Few people can truly hold their positions --- A stable orbit is necessary for launch. This logic is flawless

It's been 9 years, finally understood—this is the work of making money. --- Risk control is indeed the truth, but unfortunately most people go all-in without thinking before placing an order. --- 2026 turning point? I feel like someone says that every year. --- Holding a position at a high level is the hardest; watching the market soar makes your hands itchy. Easy to say, but doing it is hell. --- The two questions are well said, but in practice, many are still driven by emotions. --- I agree with this methodology; the market is always crazier than you imagine. --- It's not easy to hold on since 2017; I've seen many people already cash out long ago. --- The profit and loss ratio makes sense, but unfortunately some still go all-in gambling. --- Calm observation is a hundred times harder than quick reaction. --- Experience is valuable; it saves many newcomers from paying tuition fees.

Talking about risk management after 9 years, this has become so cliché.

Nine years of experience as a seasoned trader, finally understanding I have deep personal experience with holding short positions at high levels; too many people just can't do it Asking yourself these two questions is really the core; most people lose money because they jump in without thinking it through Whether 2026 will see a turning point is still uncertain, but maintaining a steady mindset definitely increases the chances of making money The risk in derivatives is still high; I feel more comfortable with spot trading It takes going through several bear markets to achieve this kind of calm; beginners shouldn't try to hold short positions... you need to have capital first This is what I’ve been doing all along: setting stop-loss and take-profit points in advance It sounds like you’ve summarized your own methodology; people like this really tend to last a long time
