Ethereum futures have been holding short positions at the 2990 level for exactly seven days. This week’s market movement has been like riding a roller coaster with eyes closed—almost a hundred points of unilateral volatility. In the morning, I saw a sudden rapid surge and thought it was about to reverse, so I chickened out and chose to cut losses to preserve capital. Unexpectedly, around 4 p.m., the market gave another excellent entry opportunity, allowing me to re-establish a position at a better price. This series of actions serves as a gentle reminder from the market: sometimes persistence and flexibility are equally important, and the key is to stay alive to see the next opportunity.

Seven days of holding still alive, that's a win --- That wave in the morning almost washed me out too, luckily I wasn't greedy --- Break even and stop loss, then re-enter. That's the correct way to play futures --- Still holding at 2990? You really have guts --- A hundred-point fluctuation, it’s really painful, but that's how opportunities come --- Persistence + flexibility, sounds good, but actually just staying alive is enough --- I missed the wave at 4 PM, looks like you’re pretty lucky --- The key is to stay alive and see the next one, that hits hard --- Not being liquidated in seven days, already surpasses half of the market --- If this operation can turn into a positive return, I could boast about it for a year

The sky-long position hasn't exploded yet on the 7th, no comment on this mentality. Backing off from stop-loss and avoiding losses? Is it luck or skill? Hard to judge. That aggressive entry in the afternoon was indeed intense. This is the meaning of being alive.

The seven sky-long positions haven't exploded yet, this mentality is really fierce --- This morning's surge almost scared me to pee, luckily I reacted quickly --- Stopping loss actually saved my life, the opportunity in the afternoon was truly incredible --- It's unbelievable, a hundred-point fluctuation can still turn around, this market really knows how to play --- Sticking to flexibility is bullshit, the key is not to die before dawn --- Being cowardly and cautious actually made money, I’ve understood this logic

After holding for seven days, I was stopped out, hilarious... But I entered again in the afternoon. I guess this is the meaning of us staying alive on the chain.

Seven days of shorting, this is the daily life of crypto --- Even if you're timid, you can turn things around. That’s the meaning of living --- Panicking to cut losses in the morning, re-entering the market in the afternoon. The market is truly so dramatic --- A hundred-point fluctuation tests your mentality, the art of balancing persistence and stop-loss --- Waiting for the next opportunity while alive, this sentence is perfect --- Shorts can still save themselves after seven days, I’m impressed --- Getting panicked during a rally is my common flaw --- Avoiding losses to protect capital and missing out? Not really, it’s coming again in the afternoon --- Flexible stop-loss often saves more lives than stubborn persistence --- The rollercoaster-like market is teaching us not to be overconfident

Seven sky longs are still alive, that’s a win. --- This morning, I was cowardly with stop-loss, in the afternoon I hit back with an entry, the market loves to mess with people like this. --- Breaking even with stop-loss and rebuilding positions, it sounds easy but how strong must your mentality be. --- A hundred-point fluctuation like a roller coaster with eyes closed, the key is not to be thrown out, as long as you're alive there’s hope. --- This wave of repeated pulling and tugging has given me deep insights; persistence and flexibility are both indispensable. --- 2990 short positions for seven days, this is how futures trading should be done to be called trading. --- I was cowardly with stop-loss and then reversed position in the afternoon, I just want to know how to build mental resilience. --- Living to see the next opportunity, this is a phrase that must be engraved in the heart; how many people die because they couldn’t endure this period.

Haha, surviving seven days of naked shorts and still smiling—that's the right mindset. It's okay to be timid in the morning; grabbing opportunities in the afternoon is the real strategy. The key is not getting liquidated out—that's winning.

Is there a bit of regret at the moment of capital protection stop-loss? Then in the afternoon, another opportunity arose. This is the gambler's mentality.

That morning's wave almost washed me out too, but luckily I reacted in time. Sometimes stopping losses is truly a lifesaver; the opportunity this afternoon was indeed tempting. A seven-day tug-of-war, surviving is winning. It seems like a loss, but actually it's the cheapest tuition. That's why some people can't make it to the next opportunity—their mindset collapses. Persistence and flexibility are not contradictions; it all depends on how you balance them. I'm not afraid of volatility, but I fear a mental breakdown. I've had a bit of an epiphany this week. A hundred-point fluctuation is just small stuff; the key is not to follow the trend and chase highs.

Backing out of a stop-loss ended up making a profit instead, this is the magic of crypto haha
