With this kind of market, do you still dare to place orders? The most frightening thing is being stuck in a difficult position—hesitating to hit the stop-loss, holding on and fearing liquidation. This kind of nervousness is the most tormenting.
What is our purpose in this market? To make steady profits, right? Not to gamble. Steady profit is essentially a two-sided concept—profits gained may not be very exciting, but losses won't be too outrageous, and there won't be dramatic liquidations. How to do it? Use batch position building, batch take-profit, and strictly set stop-losses. These seemingly tedious steps are fundamentally about protecting your principal.
Let's look at recent actual operations. On Ethereum, the long position at around 2910 that we've been building for days finally reached a turning point. Some were reduced near 3050, and the remaining positions set take-profit at 3000, 2980, and 2950 respectively. This morning, I also gave a short signal near 3050 in the group, with partial take-profits at 2970, 2950, and 2930, taking another bite. The market is now hovering around 2910, but at least the market has started to fluctuate significantly, reaching a high of 3056. More space means more opportunities. The subsequent plan is to set stop-losses of 30 points for both long and short positions.
For Binance Chain, the long position at 828 was reduced near 868, and the remaining was cleared at 850. The short position at 866 still holds a core position, with both long and short positions benefiting. The upcoming layout will involve stop-losses of only 5 to 8 points for both sides.
On Solana, the long position entered at 120.5 was exited at 124.5, and the short at 128.5 was partially taken profit at 125.5. Currently, a small position is still held for follow-up. If re-entering, both long and short positions will have about a 3-point stop-loss.
Someone asked me whether I prefer long or short. My answer is always the same— as long as you set proper stop-losses, everything else is easy to handle.

According to research, the execution of stop-losses is the key variable that determines long-term returns. This guy's logic of partial take-profit is indeed quite interesting.
From a technical perspective, setting stop-loss spans from 3 to 30 points is based on dynamic adjustments according to the volatility of different assets. It’s worth noting that the 3-point setting on Solana is a bit aggressive.
Data shows that the longer the average holding period for long positions, the exponentially higher the probability of losses. This is also why the partial take-profit system is widely used in institutional risk control, and this logic has been proven in academic papers.
But I think there's a detail that hits quite hard—the phrase "reluctant to set stop-loss" indicates that most retail investors are not failing because of strategy, but because of psychological resilience.

Stop-loss is truly a matter of life and death; so many people get stuck on the words "just wait a little longer."

Stop-loss is truly the key to survival; if you can't bear to set it, then prepare to be bloodied by the market.

Stop-loss is truly a life-and-death line; ignoring it is courting death.
