Only after a liquidation do I understand: if you don't stop loss, you are the market's "perpetual ATM"
I have seen too many people, including my former self——
With a principal of 100,000 rolling to 1,000,000, but due to a single stubborn hold, the account wiped out overnight.
It’s not that the market is too harsh, but we always treat "wait a bit longer" as a strategy.
The script of liquidation is always similar$LIGHT
When BTC rises, going short against the trend, fantasizing about "I'll exit on a pullback," only to be continuously broken through;
When SOL breaks out, chasing the rise, planning to take profit, but directly going to zero under one spike.
All tragedies begin with a lucky mindset, and end in helplessness.
Now I only believe in three iron rules
Set a stop loss as soon as you open a position, leverage determines the extent
20x leverage corresponds to a 5% stop loss, 50x corresponds to 2%—if you can afford the loss, accept it and don’t get attached to the battle.
A stop loss is not a failure, but a way to exchange a small cost for the next opportunity.
Lock in profits first, profits shouldn't flow back
When floating profits exceed 10%, move the stop loss to the cost line; after exceeding 20%, take profit in batches.
The market can fluctuate, but you cannot give all your profits back.
Emotions also need a stop loss
If you lose two trades in a row, directly close the software, and withdraw as soon as you feel impulsive.
Decisions made in the heat of the moment are 90% traps.
True masters win by being "able to afford losses"
The contract market is not about who makes the most money, but about who survives the longest.
The essence of a stop loss is to use rules to combat human nature——
Eliminate luck, and you can hold onto the capital for a comeback.
The market always has opportunities, but if the principal is gone, the game is really over. #加密市场观察 #比特币流动性
