Being trapped, to put it simply, is a challenge every market participant will face. Instead of envying those who haven't been caught, it's better to focus on more critical matters—those traders who are truly adept, aren't they all shaped through repeated experiences of unwinding their positions?



Risk control ability and trading skills—these two things can't be mastered just by reading a couple of articles. Every decision and adjustment in real trading becomes the most direct form of training. Those who can withstand being deeply trapped and still keep their composure and find ways to break the deadlock often possess a calmness that ordinary investors lack.

The key turning point here is: Are you passively waiting for the market to rebound, or actively adjusting your strategy? The former relies on luck, while the latter depends on wisdom. Blindly holding on without strategy is meaningless—reassessing your position structure, evaluating risk tolerance, and devising a step-by-step plan to unwind can help you find a window to break through.

Of course, different levels of being trapped require different approaches. Handling shallow and deep traps are entirely different matters; blind operations will only make the situation worse.

It sounds good, but the key is, what should I do if my mindset collapses?

Sounds good in theory, but when you're actually caught in a trap, who can stay so rational?

That's true, but the number of people who can actually do it is very few.

It sounds nice, but when Bitcoin crashes, who the hell can stay calm? I'm the one who got trapped and started doubting life. Looking back now, I can analyze everything perfectly. Why didn't I think about risk control back then? Shallow traps and deep traps are indeed different. My problem is that I couldn't bear to cut losses even when deeply trapped. The more it drops, the more I want to buy the dip, and now I'm bleeding heavily.

That's right, sticking to the same approach is really useless; you need to actively find solutions. I was caught quite badly in this wave, and now I'm figuring out how to gradually unwind the position. The key is to maintain your mindset and not let it collapse.
