Entering the market in reverse and getting trapped by hundreds of points, then starting to complain and panic? This will only make the situation worse. There's a timeless saying: when you reach a point you believe in, you must dare to deploy, but the prerequisite is that risk control must be in place. As for whether you make a profit or a loss in the end, let the market decide.



After so many years of trading, every time I enter a trade, I have a mental plan for stop-loss. Making a profit is of course ideal, but we also need to recognize a fact — no one can profit every day. Taking profits is important, but learning to accept stop-loss calmly is even more crucial. Traders with a calm mindset tend to live the longest.

BTC has support around 89,380, planning to push for a rally to average the price. However, for friends with already heavy positions or not yet confident enough, consider reducing positions at the break-even point, then wait for a pullback signal before re-entering. After all, staying alive and exiting gives you the chance to continue participating. Staying calm is the strongest shield for entering the market.

Well said, but many people can't do it. They panic at just a few hundred points. I've also been caught in a trap before, but the key is to have patience and resolve—it's not just talk. The 89380 level is indeed worth watching, but really, if your position gets heavy, reduce it—don't be greedy. Staying alive is the real victory.

A few hundred points and you're panicking? Honestly, losing your composure is even more painful than losing money. That's why I prefer to earn less and stay alive.

It's the same mindset theory again—sounds nice, but when you're really trapped, who can stay calm? However, 89380 definitely deserves attention. I've already halved my position; survival is the hard truth.

You really need to understand stop-loss thoroughly; otherwise, once your mindset collapses, everything is over. You can only keep playing if you're alive, but that's a very extreme way of putting it.

It should be pointed out that your words seem to be about risk control, but in fact reveal the cognitive paradox of the entire trading community—on-chain data shows that 90% of retail investors, in their self-deception of "calm mindset," ultimately get thoroughly taught a lesson by the market. Obviously, the dilemma of stop-loss is not psychological, but that you have not established a mathematical model to justify when to cut losses. Undoubtedly, the support level at 89380 requires deeper technical fundamentals to support it, rather than relying on intuition. That said... surviving and exiting is indeed the right move, but only if you live to see that moment.

A few hundred points and you're crying? Last time I got cut in half and didn't say a word, now THAT'S what I call risk management haha... Seriously though, stop-loss is just there to slap you in the face, and the harder it hits, the more valuable it is.

It's the same old story, heard it too many times, but I don't know how many people can really do it.

A few hundred points and it crashes; it will eventually be淘汰ed by the market, really.

Really, panic sets in when you're trapped; this mindset will eventually lead to big losses. Being alive is more important than anything else; reducing your position is not shameful. Stop-loss is easy to talk about but hard to implement.
