These days, memes are getting lively again, basically because everyone is caught up in the narrative and defaults to "it can get even crazier." I personally don't dare to hold onto my beliefs tightly; I treat stop-losses as ticket money: I set a clear "I'll exit if it drops to this point" before entering, not relying on emotional decisions at the moment. As for leverage, especially, once I use it, I only focus on the liquidation line and health metrics, preferring to earn a little less rather than wake up in the middle of the night to text alerts.
And then there are those opinions that interpret ETF capital flows, US stock risk appetite, and crypto market rises and falls all together—looks smooth, but when a drawdown hits, they won't be there to shoulder the loss for me... So my current approach is: only use small positions for memes, take profits in batches, and set stop-losses without changing them. Next time, I might be more aggressive—if it rises, I’ll move the stop-loss up. Do you guys use the "trailing stop" method?
