Liquidations happen not just once or twice. Sometimes, right after I deposit fresh funds, a market fluctuation comes, and when I look back, my position is already gone.

Later, I gradually came to understand:
The market isn't targeting anyone. The real problem was that I was too impatient, too greedy, and too confident in my own judgment.

I won't claim I'm some pro now, but at least it's been a long time since I got liquidated due to emotional trading.

For the brothers just entering the market, here are some lessons I learned through trial and error, hoping you can avoid some detours.

First, don't treat adding positions as a lifesaver.
Many people's first reaction when trapped is to keep adding to the position, thinking they can lower their average cost and wait for a rebound to break even. $ETH
But without a clear plan, averaging down often just magnifies the risk.

The worst thing in trading isn't a single loss, it's continuously increasing your bet in the wrong direction.

Second, the calmer the market, the more patient you need to be.
Often, when the market consolidates for a long time, it doesn't mean there's no risk.

Especially after a rally, when prices fluctuate repeatedly, many people think, "It can still go up." $EVAA
But the market won't rise forever. The bigger the gain, the more you need to consider risk.

There's a saying in trading that I always remember:
When others panic, look for opportunities; when others are euphoric, watch out for risk.

Third, you must control your position size.
Going all-in looks exciting, but it also leaves no room for error.

The market always has surprises. Without position management, a single wrong judgment can affect your entire account.

Fourth, trading ultimately comes down to mindset.
The real difficulty in the crypto space isn't learning how many indicators, but controlling your emotions.

Don't get carried away when the price rises; don't get greedy when you're in profit; don't rush to recoup when you're at a loss.

If you can stay calm whether winning or losing, you're already ahead of most.

After all the pitfalls over the years, Brother Cat's final summary is just one sentence:

Protect your capital first, then consider returns.
