#以太坊大户持仓变化 Market data is coming, what should you do with your positions?

Tonight, ADP will be announced, and big funds have already sensed the market’s flavor. Such moments are most prone to gaps and also the easiest to pay tuition fees.

**Three actions to protect your principal:**

**1. Reduce your position size**
Now is not the time for aggressive positions. Bring your total holdings down to 50%-70% of your usual size, and even aggressive traders should stay below 80%. This is not cowardice; it’s leaving enough room to maneuver before a major market move. Simultaneously shrink positions across individual assets to avoid forced liquidations—don’t let that happen.

**2. Keep margin cushion ample**
Data like CPI and crude oil can swing 1%-3% overnight. Set a 1.5x shock buffer, and ensure your available margin is 15%-20% of your position’s market value. You’ve heard plenty of stories about gap openings leading to liquidations, right? That’s the cost of not reserving enough margin.

**3. Pre-set take profit and stop loss**
Set your dual-direction strategies early, don’t wait until the data is out to scramble. The 15-30 minutes after the announcement are the craziest. Never change your stop loss at that moment—people tend to make wrong decisions when emotions are high.

Honestly, opportunities to make money are everywhere. What’s truly scarce is the principal that can survive until the next opportunity.
