$SQD drops to 20%, don't hold on stubbornly. Make decisive moves and leave yourself room to buffer.

For those who lost with $ZRX, nine out of ten are not wrong about the market trend, but are emotionally hijacked, which affects their entire decision-making process.

I am a textbook-level negative example myself:

When prices are rising, I fear missing out; when they fall, I fear cutting losses. My wallet feels like it's bungee jumping every day, and my nerves are more twisted than the K-line.

Only later did I realize one thing — the ones who can truly shake off most people’s grip are not necessarily using complex techniques, but rather a set of rules that can automatically "prevent you from doing stupid things."

Experts are not always right about the direction of their bets. Their strength lies in leaving themselves a way out every time they operate. Set stop-losses tightly; if wrong, exit immediately—no need to hesitate.

Here's a practical example:

On the 4-hour chart, the price is always pushed back by the MA60. Beginners think, "One more try, it should break through," and chase longs.

What about seasoned traders? They’ve already prepared short positions, with clear stop-loss points. When triggered, they switch to long positions, and the previous floating loss is quickly recovered.

As for "buying the dip," it’s not about impulsively buying when the decline is large, but waiting until the price returns to the previous bottom on the daily chart, combined with oversold signals like RSI. That’s when "bottom fishing" has a higher chance of success.

Now, I set very strict rules for myself with $AIO:

When the account shrinks to a certain proportion, I go offline immediately, stay calm for three to five days, and don’t fight myself;

All entries must be pyramid-style additions; start with a small position to test the waters, don’t go all-in;

Let profitable trades run with the trend, don’t rush to close;

Take profits each month when appropriate; having too much cash in the account can lead to overexpansion.

The most feared opponent in the market is someone who lives long, maintains a steady mindset, and doesn’t do stupid things.

Especially during sideways consolidation, false breakouts are common, designed to trap those impatient retail traders.

In this noisy environment, those who can participate less and make fewer mistakes will automatically find opportunities when a real trend begins.

Final words: It’s not about how clever your operations are, but whether you can resist the impulse to keep making mistakes when you’re losing. That’s the real dividing line.
