Interestingly, recently there are still people continuing to add margin to fight the position. This trading method is quite common during periods of intense market volatility, but it is indeed a high-risk approach. Some traders have this temperament; after their positions are partially liquidated, they instead double down to average down, hoping to recover in the next rebound.

This mindset is understandable, but to be honest, sometimes watching these operations makes me can't help but laugh. The market won't give you face just because you add margin to fight the position; sometimes the more you try to resist, the more you get slapped in the face. Some people just like to compete with the market, but in the end, the market usually wins.

Haha, it's the old trick of leveraging to fight the market again. The last bet lost everything. --- Really, some people just stubbornly fight the market, cutting more and more. The conclusion? Bankruptcy. --- I just want to ask these folks, why does the market reverse just because you add margin? --- The tactics of fighting the market are always the same, thinking each time will be different—laughing to tears. --- This approach is just waiting to be slapped in the face, there's nothing more to say. --- Adding margin to spread out costs? Bro, that's gambler's thinking, do you know that? --- Seeing too much of this is basically a prelude to doubling losses. Can't escape it. --- The market will win, that's true. Never fight the trend, everyone.

Adding margin to resist orders, in simple terms, is betting that the market will move in the opposite direction, but the market simply doesn't follow the rules. --- The more you lose, the more you realize it's the self-cultivation of a rookie. --- Haha really, I just watch others go all-in and spread out, and I find it funny. In the end, isn't it just getting liquidated and taught a lesson? --- Understand this mentality, but the market will slap you hard, sooner or later. --- Countering the market? Brother, how many times have you won? Honestly. --- Adding margin = another way of saying courting death. I've seen this trick too many times. --- The market doesn't give face. Adding more margin is useless. --- Still hoping to recover through a rebound? That wish is doomed to lose. --- I just like to watch this kind of operation, and in the end, get wiped out terribly. --- Spreading out until all losses are gone, classic move.

Adding margin to resist orders is really a brilliant move; the more you resist, the worse it gets... I've seen too many people play like this and end up with their accounts wiped out.

Hmm, this is a typical gambler's mentality—buying more as it drops and still hoping to turn things around. The conclusion is that you've been wiped out.

Haha, this is what they call "market education," right? --- To those who are against shorting, you're really just provoking the market. --- The more you want to turn the tide, the more you're beaten down. This rule is so true. --- Adding margin to even out? Bro, you're just increasing your own despair. --- The market doesn't care whether you add funds or not; it still crashes. --- Looking at these moves, I feel tired just watching them. Why bother? --- Basically, it's just about not being willing to accept it, and in the end, you get played yourself. --- I understand this mindset, but the market will always be the winner. --- Has anyone really turned the tide with this trick? I haven't seen it. --- If you're not convinced, just add more money. That logic is unbeatable.
