That coin, I got $4.8. Believe it or not, I don't need to say anything more.
It's a bit embarrassing to say, but my trading strategy from a few years ago was like this—betting all my assets on a single operation that I thought would "definitely not lose."
And then? You can probably guess my outcome.
It's not about sharp crashes or surges, but rather those seemingly gentle fluctuations. The market swings back and forth, and I go from full position to sweating profusely. My psychological defenses gradually break down, and that feeling is really unpleasant.
Livermore once said: "The most enticing market is often the most deadly trap."
I heard it when I was young, but I didn't really take it to heart. It wasn't until I suffered big losses in the market that I realized this isn't a joke; it's a bloody lesson.

People who go all-in on a full position, in the end, all have to pay tuition fees.

nah that "sideways chop" phase is actually the deadliest trap, way more insidious than any flash crash... seen too many portfolios get liquidated in that exact pattern, analyzed the charts thoroughly. red flags everywhere if you know what to look for.

The feeling of a full position being shattered—only those who experience it know.

Haha, $4.8? That must have been from an airdrop a long time ago. I almost forgot what this coin even looks like now.

Haha, surviving with a full position is considered a win. I'm serious about this.

I have also lived through the era of full-position all-in trading. Now, the most torturous feeling is watching the market shake while jittering my legs.

Oh wow, I totally understand the feeling of being fully invested; it's like gambling with your life.
