The loss was stopped at 420, and this decision seems decisive, but it was actually taught by the market. Originally, I wanted to buy the dip with a divergence pattern, but I didn't expect the reversal speed to far exceed expectations; as soon as the situation changed, I had to withdraw immediately. This is the reality of trading—no one can guarantee every trade will win. Those who tout guaranteed profits and never losses are, to put it bluntly, deceiving themselves and others. The volatility of the crypto market is evident; rather than fantasizing about certain victory, it's better to learn to respect risks and implement timely stop loss. Sometimes, leaving the market alive is much smarter than stubbornly holding on like a gambler.

420 stop loss, simply put, it means you got hit hard. You try to bottom fish, but end up taking a hit instead. I really understand that feeling. Surviving and getting out is already a win. Truly. Those who shout about never losing should have shut up long ago. Getting out in time is way more satisfying than stubbornly holding on.

Learned to cut losses after being beaten by the market, that's true growth --- 420 stopped the loss pretty well, smarter than those who hold on until liquidation --- Exactly, the biggest lie in the crypto circle is "guaranteed profit," just listen --- Too many times of bottom-fishing turned into a car crash, now even half a second slow in reaction means admitting defeat, so real --- Living is more important than anything else, only with principal can there be a chance to turn around --- The reversal speed is so fast, it's indeed hard to defend against, timely withdrawal is correct --- Those who boast about never losing have long been cleared out by the market --- Is 420 the bottom? Who the knows, anyway, protecting the principal is the most important --- That's the difference between trading and gambling, knowing when to run --- Volatility is right there, fantasies are useless

A stop loss of 420 is actually quite good; how many people hold on until bankruptcy before understanding this principle.

420 stop loss is quite rational, much better than those who stubbornly hold on until they get liquidated. Being taught a lesson by the market is really something everyone has to experience. To be honest, buying the dip divergence sounds easy but can easily lead to pitfalls; the market likes to go against the trend. I don't believe a single person who guarantees profits. Surviving is winning; don't be greedy for that last long wick candle. Wait, does anyone really think they will win every trade? That's absurd. Risk is something that can't just be spoken of with respect; one must truly execute a stop loss. Sometimes, quickly recognizing a loss is far better than stubbornly holding on. When reversals happen quickly, you need to run; hesitating is just asking for trouble. The price of what the market teaches is indeed quite expensive, and stopping at 420 is still relatively cheap. This round of admitting defeat is not a problem; it's much more reliable than self-deceptive predictions.

It's good to stop at 420, much better than those who stubbornly hold on until they get liquidated. Being able to admit mistakes is already a win; everything else is just fluff. To be honest, the rhetoric of never losing makes me want to retch. Staying alive is the hard truth; don't let your ego bind you. Such a quick reversal, who could have predicted that? Timely withdrawal is what professionalism is all about.

Stop loss is just stop loss, you only understand what market reality is after being taught a lesson. Whether you make money or not depends on your stop loss discipline, not on how good you are at buying the dip. There are more people who get liquidated at 420 than those who manage to stop loss, just surviving is winning. Those who say they can make money without fail have long been beaten down by the market. Rather than dreaming of 100 times returns, it's better to survive and continue tomorrow. You have to endure losses to be qualified to talk about making money, everything else is nonsense. I've understood for a long time that the gambler's mentality is just giving away money. As for stop loss, it's easier said than done, brother. After seeing so many instant kills in reversals, who still dares to go all in? This market has a bad temper, only those who obediently listen can survive longer.
