#以太坊大户持仓变化 In 2017, I was greedy when ETH hit $1400, and the price was crazily dumped by $400. As a result, I watched it break down all the way to $80. During that time, besides blaming the market makers and complaining about the market, I did nothing else.



Later, I finally understood one thing: trading is like a mirror, reflecting your judgment, temper, and the desire to get rich quickly. If you're unwilling to reflect on your mistakes, stable losses will just wait for you.

Is trading really difficult? The difficulty lies in the fact that the market has no certainty. To say it's simple, actually it is—it's just a set of repetitive actions:

Only act when you see familiar patterns (like high-liquidity assets such as SOL), cut immediately once it hits the stop-loss level, and forcibly withdraw 50% of the profit once you make money.

History always repeats itself; the plays of greed and fear are never new. The hurdles you're facing now have been crossed by others before. Some truths can't be explained; the market has to teach you firsthand. That's how I was shaped.

Now, my trading principles are very simple:
Only engage in three types of confirmed patterns, set stop-losses as naturally as breathing, and take half of the profits to cover daily expenses.

It took me 8 years and a seven-figure tuition to understand this. It may look simple, but it can keep you alive—and make you live more comfortably.

Tired of being repeatedly chopped by the market? I will guide you through bull and bear cycles, transforming from a retail trader driven by emotions into a truly calm trader.
ETH-3.26%
SOL-2.33%

From a technical perspective, this brother's stop-loss logic is indeed worth scrutinizing—data shows that traders who set fixed stop-loss levels can reduce their average drawdown by 23% compared to those using trailing stops, but the problem is... Wait, I have to be honest. The move of throwing $400 into $1400 is, according to behavioral finance research, a classic case of the "disposition effect" combined with "overconfidence." The key issue is: he didn't provide data support for the ratio of 50% of stop-loss to daily expenses. Citing Taleb's risk management theory, this fixed proportion withdrawal scheme can't really hedge against long-tail risks. It's worth noting that high-liquidity assets like SOL are precisely the ones most easily targeted by market manipulators. I suggest referring to recent research reports on exchange impact costs before drawing conclusions. In summary, the mirror theory sounds nice, but trading mentality and risk management are two different things and should not be confused.

This article really hit me hard; the shadows of 2017 are still lingering. --- I was also involved in the $80 wave, completely dominated by it. Looking at this guy's stop-loss discipline now, I can only say, it's really something to learn from. --- That's right, greed is even more terrifying than a bear market; at least in a bear market, you know you're losing money. --- The number 7 figure in math fees is a bit scary, but it seems luckier than those who haven't paid any tuition. --- I've tried to take a 50% profit, but my execution really sucks; I always want to gamble on the last trade. --- High liquidity in SOL indeed makes it easy to operate, but I'm worried about node manipulation. Has this factor been considered? --- Does anyone still believe in certainty now? The market doesn't even know what it's going to do tomorrow. --- Stop-loss is as natural as breathing. I'm still far from that realm; I start to regret as soon as I cut the loss. --- By the way, are you still trading now, or is this all just nostalgic memories? --- It took eight years to understand, so have I wasted these three years?

That $80 segment was really a nightmare, but speaking of which, setting stop-losses is easy to talk about but deadly to execute.

Oh wow, this is just like my old version. The time I threw $400 into the position was truly epic. I can still laugh about it now.
