The day before yesterday, I read a joke that said some coins are just like gambling on big or small—completely illogical. I deeply resonate with this, especially after experiencing this wave of meme coin trading recently.
Here's the story. I entered a long position at 0.123. When it climbed to 0.127, greed took over—I thought it could push to 0.13. As a result, I didn't hold for half an hour and it dropped back to 0.125. I was still waiting for a rebound. Unexpectedly, this coin's movement was outrageous; yesterday it suddenly crashed, falling through 0.118 from 0.123, with the lowest touching 0.116. Watching my account shrink, I started adding more to average down.
I added positions at 0.122, 0.121, and 0.120, and when it hit 0.127, I threw in another 2000U. After this series of operations, I finally brought the average price down to around 0.1208. But even so, I was still in a loss of 180U. The manipulator's tactics are indeed terrifying—completely shaking out the weak hands.
Fortunately, I diversified my risk early on and didn't hold a full position. Otherwise, I would have been wiped out long ago. I kept waiting for a rebound opportunity, and a half-hour rapid surge in the afternoon gave me a chance. I decisively sold at 0.12, ending up with a profit of 30U. Although the amount wasn't large, the thrill of escaping danger was real.
This trading experience taught me one thing: greed and persistence are two different things in trading. Risk management and take-profit points are the lifesavers.
That day was truly incredible, I was stunned in an instant.
Saving with full position saved my life; I finally understand this time.
This move by the market maker is just playing with us.
The 0.12 escape line, lesson learned for next time.
Adding until I was bleeding, luckily I didn't blow up my account.
Extreme greed leads to this kind of outcome; no one can escape it.
Although 30U is small, surviving is winning.
This round taught me what real risk control is.

This is a classic case of buying more as the price drops, ultimately burying yourself.
---
It's easy to say the stop-profit point, but when the market is actually happening, greed is still the main culprit.
---
Diversifying risk indeed saved you; otherwise, you would have been early on the chopping block.
---
I've heard too many of these stories about market makers shaking the warehouse; frankly, it's just a matter of right or wrong bets.
---
Pouring 2000U and only making back 30U, is this deal worth it, brother?
---
Dogecoin is basically a gamble on big or small; you still want to make money through technical analysis?
---
Average price 0.1208, then clearing at 0.12, your courage is really something.
---
Next time, remember, greed is indeed the biggest killer in trading, but execution is even more difficult.
The method of adding positions is good, but it does cost money.
Escaping at 30U is already pretty good; I got wiped out last time.
Doesn't it feel especially satisfying when you clear your positions?
The dealer's tactics are really well understood; it's totally a psychological game.
Diversifying risk is always the right move; going all-in is just asking for death.
