#策略性加码BTC This wave of the market has taught me the most profound lesson — a wrong direction is simply wrong, and all the post-hoc advice is useless. Instead of obsessing over predictions, it's better to stay committed to execution.

This loss has made one thing clearer to me: stop-loss is not about giving up; it's a necessary condition to stay alive and continue participating in this game. I firmly believe that one day I can turn things around, but the prerequisite is to survive.

I'm most grateful that I set this bottom line — never allocate more than 12% of my position. No matter how promising the opportunity, I won't break this principle. This isn't conservatism; it's a fallback in the face of the market’s intense volatility. Without this protection, I might have been knocked out early by ruthless pullbacks.

Bitcoin will have opportunities again, but only those who control their risks can wait for that moment.

Wow, this is the real enlightenment. Position control is life-saving, or I would have been wiped out already.

Stop-loss is indeed an art. It's not just about giving up or the key to survival. This friend has understood that.

Really, stopping loss is easy to say but hard to do. Seeing how thoroughly he wrote about it, I know this guy must have suffered quite a few losses to understand it so well.

That's right, stop-loss really saves lives. I previously hesitated to cut losses, and as a result, went from a small loss to a big loss, and now I regret it. I need to remember the 12% position limit setting.

It's easy to talk about stop-losses, but when it comes to critical moments, hands start to shake. I understand that feeling. --- I agree with the rule of never exceeding 12% position size. I've seen too many all-in dreamers get wiped out by a single pullback. --- It's easiest to self-hypnotize when losing, so discipline is essential to stay alive. Otherwise, you'll never get the chance to turn things around. --- Predicting the market is really pointless. Instead of pondering the next rise or fall, it's better to stick to your risk management plan. --- This is the survival rule: only by staying alive can you win. If you're dead, you lose everything. --- The 12% cap may sound small, but that's the difference between those who survive to see big opportunities and those who get knocked out. --- The worst is the mentality of wanting to go all-in after making a little profit. One pullback and it's game over.

That's right, only by surviving can you make money. This is a hard lesson. Stop-loss saved my life, really. Position management is the key, those who are greedy are gone. If the direction is wrong, admit it. It's much better than stubbornly holding on and dying. A 12% position limit, I do the same, comfortable. Getting back to break-even relies on time accumulation, provided you don't get wiped out. This round of market has seen through many people; those without risk awareness are already gone.

That's right. Persisting in the wrong direction is like slow suicide. That's how I was pushed out before.
