Last week I noticed higher trade volumes for BNB, and casually took a look at other coins, and with an experimental mindset, I made a small investment in ASTER. Today I successfully recouped my investment and set a stop loss.

Each coin has its unique market performance characteristics. ASTER is a typical oscillation market maker, and its volatility characteristics can be felt from the performance of the last round of upward movement — the repeated shaking rhythm can be a bit overwhelming. Later, I thought, since there is this operational space, why bother competing with this kind of coin? Thanks to the market for providing the opportunity to recoup investment, I decisively exited. If you can't afford to be involved, just stay away; this is also part of risk management.

To be honest, given my own conditions and risk tolerance, there are so many coins with better liquidity and clearer characteristics to choose from, so there's no need to stubbornly stick to difficult-to-grasp varieties. This experience can also be considered as an upgrade in market knowledge gained through paying tuition.
