The economic data cycle is here, and tonight's ADP report will be released. These types of data often serve as the fuse for market explosions. To be honest, trading risks during this period can double, so it's time to tighten up and focus.



Let me start with the most critical point: position control. Reduce your daily positions to around 50%-70%, and even more aggressive traders should not exceed 80%. Going beyond this line is basically gambling mentality. Be especially cautious with individual cryptocurrencies; if a gap occurs, forced liquidation can happen very quickly, and you'll regret it too late.

Next is margin reserve. For commodities like crude oil and precious metals, CPI data releases can cause fluctuations of 1%-3%. You must reserve a safety cushion of 1.5 times. Available margin should account for 15%-20% of your position market value. Never squeeze all your funds tightly; leaving room gives you reaction time in case of a gap and liquidation.

The third key point is setting take-profit and stop-loss orders in advance. All orders for both long and short positions should have protective orders placed beforehand. The 15 to 30 minutes after data release are the most emotional moments. During this window, never slip up and change parameters; doing so can lead to pitfalls.

Market opportunities are always present, but surviving until tomorrow is the top priority. First, manage risks well, and profits will come naturally. Never let short-term volatility throw you off balance; staying alive is the hard truth.

Starting to advise people to reduce their positions again. Every time before major data releases, it's the same story, but when the market really takes off, it's still FOMO that drives people to enter.

That's true, but from what I see, there probably aren't many people who actually cut to 50%. Most think they can hold up against the data shock, but they end up getting hit the hardest when reality strikes.

Here we go again, during the most vulnerable times for data market crashes, I always have to resist the urge and not go all-in.

Oh no, it's the ADP trump card again. Every time, it makes me nervous and anxious.

Sounds good, but I'm still used to chasing highs with the crowd, and as a result, I got liquidated several times when the market spiked, haha.

Oops, it's that time again for data bombardment. I've already cut my position in half.

Alright, same old story. When the data comes in, you have to stay calm and resist the urge to act impulsively. --- Everyone talks about risk control; it all depends on who can resist the temptation to leverage more, haha. --- I've really seen people go all-in during the 15 to 30-minute window and then get wiped out. Staying alive is truly the most important thing. --- You're right about margin reserves. Last time, I didn't leave enough, and a gap almost cost me dearly. --- It's always the same advice, but some people still hold onto hope and take risks. That's just how it is. --- Cut your position to 70%? I cut it to 50% directly, and I don't feel bad about it. --- Set your take profit and stop loss levels and don't touch them. That's the biggest test of human nature.

Here comes the data cycle again. Around this time last year, I lost a sum because I accidentally changed the parameters.
