After taking down $LIGHT on the 27th, I’ve been holding it ever since. I tried to reduce costs twice by T-ing out, but I just couldn’t bring myself to fully cut losses. When the price dropped to around 0.3, I actually added more, but ended up closing the position early. Unwilling to accept that, I turned around and chased in again, finally taking profits and exiting. During this period, I’ve been experimenting quite a bit with small-cap tokens, from RVV to LIGHT to early-stage PP, and I’ve gained some insights. Honestly, the gameplay logic for these kinds of coins isn’t complicated—key points are being willing to hold, managing position size, and maintaining a steady mindset. As long as the market maker isn’t planning to dump, small-cap coins always have a chance for a rebound. The risks are there, but if your position is light and your expectations are clear, waiting itself becomes a weapon.

Damn, how strong must that mentality be to dare add to a 0.3 position? I would have peed my pants already. --- The play with small market cap is basically gambling that the casino won't dump the price. It feels like there's more gambling involved. --- Holding steady is really difficult. I always want to buy the dip, but the more I buy, the deeper I go. --- Daring to hold with a controlled position mindset is stable. These three things are worlds apart from me. --- I'm often at a disadvantage when I can't resist chasing gains. I know it's wrong but I still do it. --- Wait, is this profit or loss? I read it twice but still can't see clearly. --- That wave of LIGHT did rebound strongly, but unfortunately I had already sold out, missed the opportunity. --- Small market cap is like this—either earning passively or losing passively, no middle ground. --- Positioning with light expectations is easy to say, but when it comes to critical moments, no one can hold back.

I understand this wave of reluctant operations. Chasing in and then taking profits does seem a bit greedy. It's a prerequisite to be willing to take risks, but these kinds of coins really test your mentality. One misstep and you'll become the bagholder. Keeping a light position and a calm mindset sounds simple in theory, but actually doing it is really difficult. I usually just blow up the market directly.

This guy is really getting into it, constantly adding and reducing positions, ultimately messing himself up. Chasing highs is truly a common problem with small-cap stocks. Dare to add at 0.3, how strong must your mentality be? Small-cap stocks are all about this, what you're really betting on is the market's sentiment. Being light on your position is the key. That's right, patience is indeed a weapon, but the prerequisite is that you can afford to lose. How much has LIGHT rebounded this round? Feels like there's still a story to tell.

Oh my, this wave of operations makes my scalp tingle, chasing the high and catching the bag, huh --- Dare to claim that a stable mentality is easy to say, but when it hits 0.3, how many can hold on --- It's that same set of "As long as the big players don't dump" rhetoric, I've heard it so many times it’s numb --- Controlling the position size sounds simple, but once you chase, you’re all in --- I've seen many small-cap crashes, but this one belongs to the lucky group --- Taking profits and exiting is nothing, the key is to come out alive, many people just played right into it --- So it's just gambling, but it has to be packaged as some strategy and logic
