Today's Ethereum trend, my trading approach is as follows:

**Initial Positioning**: Short around 2950 with 2x leverage, full position. This is the first line of defense and must be strictly executed.

**Batch Positioning Strategy**: Once it breaks below 2910, add a second batch of shorts, increasing by 20% (for example, if you originally shorted 10 ETH, add 2 more). If it drops further and breaks 2870, add another 20%. Each addition follows this rhythm—don't be greedy and go all-in at once.

**Risk Management**: 3080 and 3150 are two key levels; make sure to set full-position stop-losses here. The benefit of batch adding is more flexible risk control, preventing a reversal from wiping out your position in one move.

The core of this strategy is to deploy in stages when the trend is clear, optimizing the average entry price, while strictly protecting capital with stop-losses. Market conditions change rapidly, so disciplined execution is more important than predictions.

Gradually increasing positions sounds good, but the real challenge is maintaining disciplined execution... The promised 20% increase in position size, but as soon as I look at the K-line, I get nervous—this is our common problem. Going all-in at 2950 short feels a bit like gambling; risk management must keep up. Stop-losses need to be set firmly; you can't be soft-hearted. I have deep experience with this. The theory is perfect, but reality often hits back. Ultimately, it depends on who can endure the pullback.

Gradually increasing positions is indeed a reliable strategy; I'm just worried that my mindset might collapse during execution.

Scaling in gradually sounds good, but the problem is that human nature is the biggest test during execution. --- This wave short logic is clear, but I'm just worried that the 2910 level won't break, and you'll get washed out. --- I think setting the stop loss at 3150 is a bit too loose. If you short at 2950, there's not much room for this wave of correction. --- The strategy of scaling in is indeed more reliable than going all-in at once, avoiding the risk of losing everything in one go. --- The point about optimizing average entry price is well said, but when the market turns, it's still easy to hold onto losing positions. --- The phrase "Discipline in execution is more important than prediction" hit me hard. Many people get wiped out just because they change their stop loss. --- Starting with full position at 2x leverage is really bold; you must have confidence in your judgment.

Full position shorting... Bro, isn't this just the classic "one wave takes it all" setup? It's comparable to the contract logic that gets wiped out by re-entry vulnerabilities.

Damn, this move is just perfect. The strategy of adding positions in batches really hit me right in the heart. Wait, 2950 full short? That's a bold move, buddy. I'm still debating whether to get in or not. Adding 20% in batches at this pace is much better than going all-in at once... Last time I got wiped out by a quick reversal, and I'm still licking my wounds. Have you set your stop-loss at 3080? That's the key. Otherwise, you're just waiting for liquidation. Really, the phrase "discipline in execution" hits home for me. I'm just too greedy; that's always been my problem.

Scaling into short positions gradually is indeed more stable and more reliable than going all-in at once. --- Set stop-loss at 3150. Feels a bit tight at this level. Are you not worried about being swept? --- Discipline execution > prediction. That's right, most people just can't do it. --- Short at 2950 with full position. Truly brave. --- This logic looks fine at first glance, but the key is whether you can really stay unmoved. --- The pace of adding positions is well-controlled, but I'm worried about a 180-degree market reversal. --- Adding 20% each time sounds simple, but psychologically it's really difficult to implement in practice.
