#数字资产行情上升 I’ve been in crypto trading for nearly ten years. In the early days, I played contracts aggressively, and liquidation was almost a monthly occurrence. Money entered the market still not warmed up, and a single fluctuation would wipe it out. Back then, I kept blaming the market, but I later realized—the root of the problem was myself—greed, impatience, always thinking I could turn it around with one big move. I wouldn’t say I’m very professional now, but it’s been a long time since I was wiped out by a market wave.



Some insights are built with real money, and while it might sound harsh, it can save you a lot of money.

**The first reaction to being trapped: accept reality.**

Many people start fantasizing once they’re in deep—that’s the real danger signal. When it comes to adding positions, many are like under a spell—they think “just one more wave and I’ll break even.” But adding positions without clear logic is just nakedly amplifying risk, not lowering costs. Relying on adding positions to turn things around, eight out of ten times, will only make you fall deeper.

**The calmer the market, the more you need to stay alert.**

After a big surge, the prolonged sideways movement might look harmless, but it’s either gathering strength or brewing a trend change. This kind of stability is the easiest to deceive you, making you want to act. Remember: the more seemingly safe this sideways period looks, the more you should consider how big the potential risks could be.

**Never push yourself into a dead end.**

Full position might seem confident, but it actually traps you in a corner. The market won’t follow your script. One wrong judgment, and if you have no buffer, the game could be over.

**And the last point, also the most crucial: manage your mindset.**

What truly eliminates traders in this market are not technical skills but emotional control. Not getting carried away when you’re winning, not crashing when you’re losing—whether you survive till the end depends on this. These are practical lessons, no fancy tricks, but enough to help you last longer. If you don’t expect to get rich overnight and just want to keep moving steadily forward, then we’re on the same page. $ETH $BNB

Ah, you're so right. I've been trapped by the curse of topping up my position countless times. Full position really is suicide; I've quit that long ago. This kind of mindset is easy to talk about but hard to do. You have to endure several more brutal hits to truly understand. The most feared thing in sideways trading is that the more stable you are, the more you want to move, and then you're harvested. Ten years of sharpening the sword truly makes a difference; this experience is as valuable as gold.

Damn, I've been through ten years of blood, sweat, and tears, especially that line "emotionally out of control person" hit me right in the heart. Really, that wave of full positions almost killed me. Now I just stay steady, no greed, no impatience.

Ten years of experience in losses, indeed. But I think the most heartbreaking part is about topping up positions — how many people die because of the thought of "one more round." Mindset really is the key: making money easily can lead to overconfidence, while losing money makes people more likely to panic and make reckless decisions.

After ten years of sharpening the sword, the market has taught the harshest lesson. How are the full-position buddies doing now?

Ten years of sharpening the sword, this phrase sounds harsh but is true. I was also a fool back then, going all-in with a full position. I have a blood and tears history with averaging down. After repeated trials, I finally understood that it is a suicidal rescue. The most toxic is sideways trading. It seems peaceful on the surface but is actually full of hidden currents. You must always be on guard. This market is really a battle of mentality. No matter how good your skills are, if your mindset collapses, it's all useless. Going all-in is equivalent to suicide. Having some remaining funds is the way to survive. Now I finally understand. Honestly, if I had this awareness back then, I could have saved a lot of unnecessary money. But living until now, I can say I’ve made a profit.
