The recent frequency of market crashes in the crypto world has really numbed people. $LIGHT, $TAKE, $AIA these tokens often experience drops of over a hundred points, which seems to have become a daily routine.

Looking at this market, the biggest realization is—there is no absolute bottom, only deeper pits. But this also highlights a problem: your entry point and stop-loss settings directly determine whether you make a profit or a loss.

Many people enter the market without setting a stop-loss, essentially betting all their capital on a tiny profit. This approach will eventually lead to losses. My trading strategy today was flawless from start to finish because of respect for risk and proactive planning.

If you want to improve your trading success rate, study real-world cases from experienced traders, or observe the market on the sidelines for a while to understand its temperament. Patience is key.

The phrase "there is no absolute bottom" really hits the point, but to be honest, most people still get wiped out because they didn't set a stop-loss or set it too loosely. This indeed requires some reflection.

Numbness is real, but to be honest, those who didn't set stop-losses deserve to be cut. This wave of market has taught a lot of people a lesson, haha.

I'm so done, diving every day, this market is really crazy. Setting stop-loss orders properly is the key, otherwise you'll just get eaten up.

Numbness is just part of it, but on the other hand, those who didn't set a stop loss really deserve to be smashed. --- Here we go again, but it does make sense... The problem is that knowing is easy, doing is hard, everyone. --- I watched $LIGHT drop without doing anything, just because I didn't set a stop loss in advance, now I'm kicking myself. --- Not setting a stop loss is purely gambling mentality, and you'll pay the price sooner or later. --- Observe and wait, don't rush to get in, it sounds easy but it's hard to do. --- The harshest thing isn't actually smashing the market, it's your own greed, haha. --- Although these words are old clichés, does anyone really listen?

Damn, did it crash again? The frequency is really insane. I didn't even react before it dropped again... Brothers who don't set stop-losses, you'll eventually be taught a lesson by the market. To be honest, no one can predict the bottom, the key is to know how to protect the principal. Looking at this wave of market, I'm glad I set my risk points properly earlier, otherwise I would have gone bankrupt long ago.

Numbness is normal, but to be honest, stop-loss is something you still need to pay attention to, or you'll end up losing money sooner or later. Why are there still people entering the market without setting stop-loss? Isn't that suicidal, brother? $LIGHT has been jumping wildly these days, it's really messing with my mindset. The market is unpredictable, the bottom is getting deeper, and you have to defend yourself. Observing carefully is definitely the right move. Don't rush to all-in; if you can't gauge the market's temperament, you'll get wrecked. That's right, risk management is more important than anything. I'm now planning ahead before taking action. The cases from the veterans are really worth studying; they help avoid many detours. Really, a drop of over a hundred points has become as common as having a meal. Stop-loss is a trader’s friend; those who don't set it deserve to lose. This market has trained my mentality to become tougher and tougher, but my wallet can't take it anymore.
