#隐私代币板块全线上扬 Understanding trends can make you money? Don't be naive.
Most people lose money not because they misjudge the direction. You might have studied candlestick charts all day, marking support and resistance levels, but what’s the result? You got the direction right, yet your account still shrinks.
Where is the problem?
It comes down to positions. Many people haven't grasped the weight of these two words.
I have seen too many operations like this: when the market just starts to rise, they panic after making a few points and quickly take their profits. When the real surge comes? They've already been shaken off the ride and can only shout in the group, "I’ve been bullish for a long time." This is called not daring to hold on to the trend - clearly sitting in the right direction, yet only sipping the soup.
There’s an even more extreme approach: not admitting the drop, but instead adding more as it falls. "This position must be the bottom," yet there are still eighteen layers of hell below. In the end, you either get stuck or directly get liquidated and exit. This is called stubbornly holding against the trend—using the entire account to validate a mistake.
In fact, the core difference between those who truly know how to play and those who just mess around is position control.
For those with heavy positions, every fluctuation is torment; they panic whether the market rises or falls. What about those with light positions? Volatility is an opportunity to increase their stakes, and both rises and falls are within expectations. If the market falls, they have bullets to buy more; if it rises, they are already in profit, so no matter which way it goes, they won't lose control.
Position management is not about making you rich overnight, but about ensuring you can stay at the table. As long as you live long enough, big opportunities will eventually come your way.
So stop getting tangled up in "Is my position in the right direction?" First, think clearly—can this position you hold allow you to sleep peacefully?
If you are still placing orders based on feelings, that is not called trading, it is called gambling. $SOL $BTC
