ETH liquidation? Many times, it's not a technical issue, but rather a fundamental misunderstanding of position management.
Let's start with the most common pitfall: going all-in right after entering the market. Holding 10,000 yuan in your account, and then risking it all immediately. When the price rises slightly, you start fantasizing about tenfold gains; when it drops a little, you panic and cut your position. This kind of operation, frankly, is gambling—no different from playing the lottery.
I've personally fallen into this trap. Back then, I was making money quickly, but I lost even faster. I was right about the direction, but the money still disappeared. Only later did I realize that those who truly survive in the market are not the ones who make the most, but those who can afford to lose.
After changing my strategy, I only do one thing: roll profits into more profits. Every trade starts with a tentative position; if the market moves in the right direction, I gradually add to the position; if it goes against me, I cut losses decisively and exit. I never go against the market.
This approach may not seem as exciting, and there's no quick thrill of getting rich overnight, but the result is steady account growth and a more stable mindset. Others say I am "conservative," but this stability is earned through repeated lessons from losses.
Before the market starts, I can stay out of the market for three or five days without making a move. But once the rhythm arrives, I dare to go all-in on a single trade. It's not luck that I rely on, but a good sense of timing combined with strict position control.
Most people who get wiped out in the market don't die because of the market itself, but because of emotional out of control and illusions. To truly turn things around, you need to break these habits: reckless heavy positions, chasing highs and bottom-fishing, and betting your principal on luck.
The market will give opportunities sooner or later, but you have to be alive to seize them. There's no need to rush into quick riches; as long as the direction is correct, the rhythm is steady, and risk control is in place, this path is always under your feet. Moving slowly is not a bad thing—stability is the real key.

That really hits home. I was also all-in with a full position back then, and a single pullback wiped me out. Realizing the mistake was truly costly.

However... the data shows that the liquidation rate for full-position beginners is indeed outrageous. When analyzed hourly, most of them get wiped out at the moment of emotional loss of control. The probing position strategy is indeed feasible, but you need to be patient and wait. Waiting a bit longer is the correct approach.

That's right, going all-in is basically asking for death. I have friends who played that way and got wiped out.
---
That's why I prefer to miss out rather than chase highs; staying alive is the real winner.
---
Testing the position size is indeed effective; decisive stop-losses keep your heart from collapsing.
---
Waiting on the sidelines for three or five days really tests human nature; most people can't wait.
---
Without proper risk control, talking about turning things around is just nonsense.
---
The dream of getting rich overnight is more damaging than losing money—that's a classic.
---
Losing money even when you're on the right track, I've been there too; it's really heartbreaking.
---
Steady and conservative are not the same. The former is about survival, the latter is about giving up.
---
Rolling profits into more profits is indeed slow, but at least you won't lose sleep over it.

The market isn't lacking opportunities; what's missing are the people who stay alive to seize them.

Full position for a while, all the time until the position is full... That's right

That's right, going all-in is really a suicidal move; I've seen too many people lose everything because of it.

That's so true. People who are fully invested are basically wiped out overnight.

Going all-in is really a terrible move; a single reckless bet is equivalent to suicide. I've seen too many fools like this.
