#2026年比特币价格展望 Increasing positions is really a technical skill, not something you do on a whim. But let me tell you, out of ten people increasing their positions, nine are driven by emotions.



You've probably encountered this situation—just after entering a trade, the market reverses, and the red numbers on your account grow larger and larger. At this point, your fingers start to act on their own, constantly thinking about adding a little more to lower the average cost, aiming to break even and then exit.

Sounds simple, right? But in reality, it often goes like this: a situation where you could have cut losses and exited is repeatedly dragged into a full-position deep pit by adding more positions over and over. What initially was a small loss ends up becoming a disaster for the entire account.

Where is the problem? Every market fluctuation is actually sending you a signal—"Add to your position, this time you'll definitely break even." But that signal is actually your emotions speaking, not the market. Once this mindset takes over, rationality is trampled underfoot, and the result is increasing losses.

True position adding is not based on feelings. It requires clear trend confirmation as support, specific signals as the basis, not just "I think it will go up" thoughts. Every decision to add positions must be backed by data and strategy.

Friends still being led by losses, you need to stop and think. Adjust your mindset, follow the rules you set beforehand, and don't let losses dictate your next move. This is the correct attitude to live in the market.

That's right, emotions are really the killer. I've seen many people get trapped firsthand. The tactic of adding positions isn't just based on intuition; you need to look at the data to make decisions. Initially, losing a bit and trying to recover, but the more you add, the deeper you go... I think anyone who has stepped into this pit has regretted it. The key is to have a plan; you can't let the account's status dictate your decisions.

Damn, I was called out again. I am that fool who kept adding to their position until bankruptcy. That's what they say, but how many people can really do it? It sounds good in theory, but in practice, who isn't driven by emotions? I think that's the truth—cutting losses is always harder than adding to a position. Just look at my stop-loss record, it's all blood and tears.

You're absolutely right, I am one of those nine fools who are emotionally hijacked haha Really? The most easy way to deceive oneself in trading is to add to positions even when there's no signal I've seen too many people turn a small loss into a liquidation, it's heartbreaking You need a trading plan, everyone, don't let the account color decide your decisions I'm now strictly following my strategy and no longer opening positions based on feelings, I've learned my lesson So, controlling your mindset is more important than any technical analysis, that's true Emotions are the biggest killer in the market, no doubt

Isn't this just talking about me... Last time, I was in the same situation, half of me was trending, and I wanted to turn the tide, but I ended up in the ICU directly.

I knew it, stop-loss is always the hardest step, even more difficult than finding the bottom... The moment I incur a loss, my brain just shorts out, and all strategies are damn useless. It's another situation dominated by emotions, I feel for everyone. This is the truth: most people are hostage to the red numbers on their accounts. I have long given up on adding positions based on intuition; it's just asking for death. Every time I try to prove myself right, I end up risking the entire account. You're so right, that's exactly how I got dragged in alive... Rules > Feelings, but sticking to the rules is damn hard.
