#比特币波动性 Manage your position well, set stop loss and pump steadily; this is the iron rule for surviving in the crypto market.
Recently, I reviewed my trading records from the past few years and discovered a heartbreaking truth: those big loss positions are often not due to misjudging the direction, but rather because the position size and risk control were not maintained.
What are you most afraid of?
It's not that the market is crashing, it's that moment when you "clearly know you need to stop loss, but your finger just can't press down."
Let me tell you something. Last year, I met a guy who spent two months studying a certain altcoin, with all kinds of indicators at max, full of confidence, and directly invested 70% of his Position. The first three days were indeed good, rising more than 20%, and he shared screenshots in the group every day. As a result, the project team suddenly announced "technical upgrade postponed," and the coin price was halved that night, then cut in half again the next day. He watched helplessly as his account shrank, and in the end, he didn't even have any bullets left for averaging down.
After that time, I understood: no matter how tempting the opportunity is, it must be taken in batches.
In the novice period, the position limit is capped at 30%. What about the rest of the money? Just let it lie in the account waiting. Wait for the trend to truly emerge, and wait until you can stabilize your mindset with a few consecutive trades before increasing it to 50%. But remember—never touch the red line of full position. Before opening a trade, force yourself to think clearly: "If I lose everything on this trade, can I still sleep at night?" If the answer is "No," then don't place the trade.
As for stop loss, this thing is your escape pod.
Set a stop loss line (for example, 3%). Cut it as soon as it triggers, don't get emotional. I've also done the stupid thing of holding on stubbornly, thinking "it'll bounce back soon" after a 10% drop, only to end up riding it down to a 50% loss, with half of my account evaporating. It was only later that I realized: stop loss is not shameful, it’s a way to leave yourself an escape route.
A small loss hurts a bit when you cut it, but a big loss will directly send you out.
Don't be greedy with your Position and don't delay your stop loss. Even if the market experiences a free fall today, you can firmly hold the steering wheel instead of being thrown off the track.
In this circle, greed and luck harvest people every day. But as long as you clarify the Position, stop loss, and take profit before opening a position, and maintain a steady rhythm, the detours will naturally be reduced.
Stop thinking about doubling your investment overnight. First, ensure that you can survive until the next bull market. Endure the volatility and manage your emotions; the opportunity to make money will eventually come knocking.

That's right, the guy I know is a typical example of someone who just holds on no matter what—his account is now just sitting idle.

That guy's story with 70% position is really something else, a real cautionary tale. Right now, even my 30% ceiling feels a bit tight. Mentality really is the biggest enemy.

I've seen that brother with a 70% Position, he's still in the group selling courses, hilarious.
