#Strategy加仓BTC Liquidation isn't because the market is too difficult; it's often due to that little bit of luck mentality in your mind.
**Leverage numbers can be deceptive** 100x leverage sounds invincible, but if you open a position with only 10% of your capital, the actual leverage is just 10 times (100 × 10% = 10). Understand this clearly, and you'll know your true risk tolerance. The larger the leverage number, the easier it is to become numb, and eventually, you'll be caught off guard even in front of the Grim Reaper.
**Stop-loss is more important than anything** Many people treat stop-loss as optional, which is a huge mistake. Each trade's loss must be controlled within 2% of your principal—if your account has 50,000 USDT, then the maximum loss per trade is 1,000 USDT. This isn't a secret to getting rich overnight, but it ensures you have the chance to make the next trade. Control the risk, and opportunities will naturally come.
**Adding positions should have rhythm** Don't take a profit of 50,000 and go all-in—that's called leverage, not position scaling. True position scaling is: add 10% when you gain 10%, so you can snowball. Conversely, adding 100% after a 10% profit? That's walking off a cliff, and you bear the consequences.
**Profit-taking and stop-loss require training** Sell 1/3 of your position when you gain 20%, sell another 1/3 at 50%, and clear everything if it drops below the 5-day moving average—these are not guesses; they are math problems. Practice enough, and your fingers will react automatically, leaving no room for emotions to interfere.
Remember these three golden numbers and don't forget: individual loss no more than 2%, annual trades within 20, and a profit-loss ratio of at least 3:1. Personal exploration is too slow; following the main direction is much more efficient.

That's right, it's that little bit of luck mentality that gets people into trouble. I was also exposed that way before.

That's right, but the execution is the hard part... Knowing only a 2% stop-loss is useless; when the price really drops, your hand just won't listen.

Haha, once again succumbing to luck mentality. That's how I lost everything last time I went all-in.

That's right, the stop-loss hurdle really traps a large number of people.
It's actually a mindset issue; they just have to stubbornly hold on.

Oh, it's the same old stop-loss rhetoric again. It's not wrong to say, but when it comes to actual trading, everyone is a gambler.

I've heard of 2% stop-loss a hundred times, but when a 50x leverage liquidates, I just can't react in time.
---
Hitting all-in is just a result of greed. I've done it once, and I still remember that feeling of helplessness.
---
Relying on training to set take-profit and stop-loss? Ha, my fingers are still in the learning stage.
---
100x leverage sounds exciting, but using it is really like gambling with your life, no other way to put it.
---
The rule of losing only 2% per trade isn't useless; it's just that very few people actually follow it, including myself.
---
I only now understand the difference between rolling over positions and adding leverage; before, it was just a waste of effort.
