I am planning to try a contrarian crypto asset trading strategy recently. If the price retraces to the key support level of 86,000, I will make the first position. Then, if the price continues to decline over the next two days, I will make the second and third entries respectively. After completing these three entries, I will calculate the average price over these three days as the holding cost.

The subsequent selling plan is as follows: wait until the major negative news is fully released, giving the market three to seven days to digest, then consider selling in batches during the rebound.

Honestly, this approach goes against many conventional trading disciplines, and my confidence is limited. So, I plan to test it with a small position. Regardless of whether I ultimately profit or lose, I will review and analyze the actual return of this contrarian strategy. Treating this as an experiment, let the data speak.

Grid trading, huh? I've seen many people get wrecked by this strategy. Small positions for trial and error are okay, but I'm worried that instead of reaching 86,000, it might suddenly surge. The real question is how long you can hold on; mindset is the first hurdle.

Counter-cyclical bottom-fishing sounds good, but you need to keep your mindset steady. Can 86,000 really hold?

Wait, the average price for three bottom buys at 86,000? That sounds like gambling, huh? If you ask me, the biggest risk with this kind of contrarian strategy is breaking the support level. At that point, looking at the data would only confirm a "loss-making experimental conclusion."

Haha, I'm also watching 86,000, just worried about catching the bottom halfway up the mountain. This average cost method sounds good, but averaging down has risks; it depends on whether it breaks below later. Small position testing is correct; anyway, this market is full of black swans flying every day, and data review is the most honest. But I think the key still lies in the timing of the information release, which is too hard to grasp. Keep it up, when you share your results, I’ll learn from you too.

Bottom fishing and averaging down, this move does have a bit of a gambling vibe. Wait, can 86,000 really hold? It feels like this wave of negative news isn't being digested that quickly. Small positions to test the waters are still rational; just worried that after a big loss, you'll still want to turn things around.
