#数字资产动态追踪 The truth about liquidation: It's not that your skills are poor, it's that you've never learned how to properly allocate your positions.
There are too many people jumping into the market with excitement. They only have ten thousand dollars in their account, then immediately go all-in with heavy positions, dreaming of doubling their money with a slight increase, and panicking to cut losses when prices drop a bit. Ultimately, it's just gambling with money.
I've been through this too. Making money can be terrifyingly fast, but losing is even scarier. Even when your market judgment is correct, the money can still disappear.
Later, I realized one thing: the traders who survive are never the ones making the most money, but those who can afford to lose and withstand the pressure.
Since then, I've been obsessively focused on one thing—reinvesting the profits I make to compound my gains.
Every time I open a position, I first test the waters with a small order. If the market moves in the opposite direction, I add more only after confirming the trend; if it reverses, I cut losses immediately and exit. I never fight the market.
You see my trading style, it might not be as exciting, and I don't have stories of overnight riches. But the result is that my account gradually grows thicker, and my mindset becomes more stable. Some say I am "too conservative." Actually, this stability is gained through lessons learned from losses.
Before a market move starts, I can stay idle for three or five days; when the rhythm arrives, I dare to take a position that can handle the entire market.
I never rely on luck; I rely on two words—rhythm and position control.
People who fail in the market are not really killed by market trends. They die in their own emotions, in unrealistic fantasies.
Want to turn things around? Then stop opening positions recklessly, stop heavy bottom-fishing, and stop gambling with your principal.
Opportunities will come in the market; the question is whether you have the guts to seize them. Look at those who made money on AT, CHZ, LYN—none of them achieved it through single big wins.
It's okay to go slow; as long as you get the direction right and stay steady with the rhythm, this path to profit will always be beneath your feet.
What you lack is not effort. The market opportunities are abundant. What you truly lack is a methodology that can help you achieve stable profits in this market.

That really hits home. I used to play like this myself—going all-in with ten thousand yuan, only for the market to turn around and wipe it out completely.
Position management really only makes sense after experiencing losses. Now I understand what it means that staying alive is more important than making quick money.
Testing the waters with small trades is brilliant. I’m doing the same now; it may not be as exciting, but it keeps my mindset steady.
The rhythm and position control are spot on. These two words can really save your life.
Instead of gambling with luck, it’s better to wait for the market to start moving before acting. Anyway, there are plenty of opportunities.

That was really harsh, you hit the nail on the head. Putting yuan into heavy positions is no different from gambling. My former colleague did that once, and he still hasn't recovered.

The words "rhythm" and "position control" sound simple, but few people can truly do it. Most still fall victim to greed.
---
There are too many people in the crypto world who have made quick money relying on luck, but many won't live to see the next bull market.
---
The phrase "Do you have the guts to catch it" is spot on. Many people miss their chance because their mindset has already collapsed.
---
It's not really poor technical skills; most people just don't understand risk management and treat trading like a gambler's game.
---
Look at those who are consistently profitable—they spend their time in boring waiting, and the real excitement often comes suddenly.

That's right, but I doubt more than one in ten people actually follow through. It seems most people get stuck right at the first step.

That's right, but most people just can't listen. They all want to get rich overnight, but end up losing everything overnight.
Really, I've seen too many people dump their entire positions and then come crying. When asked about their stop-loss points? They never even thought about it.
The concepts of rhythm and position control are indeed excellent, but honestly, executing them is extremely difficult. Once emotions take over, everything is forgotten.
I also missed out on that wave of AT, just watching others make money. Because I didn't catch the rhythm properly, even when the opportunity was right in front of me, it was useless.

That's correct, but knowing and doing are two different things. I've personally fallen into this trap before. Looking at historical data, 80% of retail investors die not from technical analysis but from emotional management.
According to my quantitative model analysis, the core of position management is controlling the drawdown ratio per trade, which is directly related to the mental accounting effect. The problem is that market cycles have sped up, and even small probes are easily swept away, making it harder to grasp the rhythm.
However, the rhythm and position control you mentioned are indeed the core. This market rally reminds me of 2017, but the market structure has changed now... institutions have entered, and retail investors' FOMO has become even stronger.
