For many “unwind” solutions that people are analyzing in the market, Jingyi believes many of them are just talk on paper. Real technical skill is not about how well you can seize opportunities in good times—it's about learning how to turn the tables in a headwind. It’s time to show Jingyi’s real skills: analyze the thinking behind unwinding positions. Remember: flowers can bloom again on another day—like a salted fish, you can still turn things around.

1）Shallow unwind (floating loss ≤ 5% / no breakdown)

Do not act, do not add to your position, do not lock positions.
Wait for repairs and rely on swing trading to return to breakeven first.

2）Middle unwind (floating loss 5%–20% / deviated from expectations)

Reduce exposure in batches to lessen pressure: cut 30% first, then cut another 40%.
Keep a small position to hold the line—never “hold on to death.”
At key levels, you can hedge with a small position to lock in volatility.

3）Deep unwind (floating loss ≥ 20% / trend breakdown)

Exit with an unconditional stop-loss.
The only mistake for deep unwinds is: holding the position bag.
The only solution for deep unwinds is: admit the loss and reset the timing.

Three taboos of holding stuck positions (the root cause of liquidation)

1. Go against the trend the more it falls, and keep adding to average down the cost
​
2. Lock positions for a long time to drag out time
​
3. Add to losing positions to pull up the average price
