#大户持仓变化 Regarding $ETH and the contract market, I have an observation: many retail traders are essentially copying the same failed pattern—opening positions based on feelings, becoming more cautious after small profits, always trying to make up for losses, and ultimately ending up empty-handed. We've seen too many cases like this. Larger accounts with ample funds may not necessarily have more sophisticated strategies, but their advantage lies in—being able to withstand the cost of failure. They can fail 10 times and still recover with one turnaround, which is impossible for us. This is the cruel reality of the market. The amount of capital per trade determines the mindset, and the mindset influences decisions. Seemingly identical trading behaviors can lead to completely different outcomes under different capital bases. That’s also why risk management is so important for retail traders.

Sigh, that’s a bit heartbreaking... Feels like I keep jumping in this pit repeatedly. The difference in capital size truly makes a world of difference. When big players lose 10 times, we lose just once, and it's all over. That said, the biggest enemies of retail investors are still their own greed and fear. Instead of envying the tolerance for mistakes of big players, it's better to learn how to control the risk of each trade first. It sounds simple, but actually doing it can be deadly.

That's really hitting home; relying solely on intuition to open positions is indeed close to explosion.

That's right, the amount of funds is the line between life and death.

That hits too close to home; I just can't afford to play this game.

Really, retail investors' mentality is just crushed by the amount of capital, no wonder they say this market watches money, not people.

Uh, isn't this just talking about us? Making a small profit makes us hesitate, losing money makes us want to recover, and in the end, we go all-in... --- Big players lie back and win, we kneel and lose. When the capital difference is just one order of magnitude, the mentality completely collapses. --- It's too hitting home. If you ask me, it's just because we don't have money. If you have money, who wouldn't lie back and wait for a turnaround? --- I'm damn that "more cautious after a small profit," and then I get more and more timid, finally cutting the meat. --- Risk management? Bro, I can't even protect my principal. --- Funding size = fate. This is probably the most real state of the market. --- So ultimately, you still have to know how to cut losses, but who the hell can really do it?

There's nothing wrong with that, but I think the key is to recognize your own capabilities. Don't always think about turning things around with a big gamble.
