I took a quick look at the discussion in the square, and it’s interesting. The screen is full of bearish voices, and almost no one is calling for a rally — I’ve seen this scene too many times. Honestly, every time this happens, I end up losing money, and the reason is quite painful: I see this kind of candlestick pattern and reflexively follow the trend to short, only to be mercilessly liquidated.

This time, I decided to try a different approach. Since everyone is frantically calling for a short at this price level, I’ll open a small long position and try a contrarian move. It sounds like throwing a tantrum, but I want to see: can a contrarian approach really avoid liquidation? Or will I get beaten again this time?

Let’s consider this as an experiment for my trading logic.

Ha, it's the same old trick... I get the most scared when the whole screen is shouting short. Bet against the trend, but the probability of liquidation might actually be higher. Will this reverse strategy still make money or get eaten up? Let's see. Following the trend to short is indeed a trap, but going against it isn't necessarily the solution either. Waiting to see the result of your experiment, I guess you'll still get beaten up haha.

Haha, isn't this just throwing a tantrum and going long? I do that all the time too, and then I get liquidated just like that, haha.

Ha, isn't this just my daily routine? Reverse operations sound impressive, but they're actually gambling.

Haha, I understand this move, just following the trend to die, brother. --- Counter-attack the bottom, this time I bet right and made a huge profit; if I bet wrong, just consider it tuition. --- When the whole screen is shouting short, that's often the bottom. I also want to try reverse thinking. --- Trying small positions to test the waters is a good idea, just don't go all in. --- The frustrating part is being cut every time. This time, I’ve truly gone all in. --- It's a psychological game, seeing who can hold on longer. --- From experience, I’ve shorted and blown up before, and now I’m starting to reflect on the foolishness of following the crowd. --- Experimentation is correct, but I worry that after the experiment, the money is gone. --- Most people lose money because they can't understand this point. Brother, you’ve woken up. --- Trading out of spite is often the clearest. Anyway, following the rules is a dead end.
