#ETH走势分析 Last night really felt like a brush with death. I watched the market until after 4 a.m., helplessly seeing my short position opened at 3020 get squeezed all the way up. I kept averaging up until nearly 3100, with the liquidation line hanging right at 3190. The scariest moment was when the price surged to 3150—my heart stopped, and all I could think was, "It's over, it's over."
The first thing I did when I woke up this morning was check my account—and it was still alive.
This was a harsh lesson for me. The same few dozen-point fluctuation—when there's profit, I can't hold and rush to exit; but when there's a loss, I stubbornly hold on, unwilling to admit defeat even after losing over a hundred points. If I don't change this mindset, it's only a matter of time before a single trade wipes me out.
I've realized now: It's better to open several smaller positions and pay a bit more in fees than to pin all my hopes on holding out in one trade. Take profits immediately, and cut losses early. The market won't change direction just because you're stubborn—when it's time to admit defeat, you must do so.

Oh my god, this is the legendary heart attack warning. I was nervous for you at 3150.

Bro, your mindset shift is pretty good, but to be honest, I think you still have a bit of a gambler's mentality in this trade.
Surviving this time wasn't because of a good mindset, it was just good luck.
If you don't curb your greed, you won't be this lucky next time.

I totally understand this mindset issue. Holding on stubbornly is really the biggest killer in trading.

Ha, I know that knife-edge, blood-licking feeling at 3150, it’s really insane.
This wave of reflection is worth it too—even if you survive, you’ll lose a layer of skin.
The scariest thing is realizing it now and forgetting it next time—that’s the deadliest.

This is the gambler's mentality—just stubbornly holding on, it's really unbelievable.

This wave was really a heart attack warning; when it hit 3150, I got nervous for you too.
Admitting defeat is exactly right—if you just can’t hold onto some positions, don’t force it. Who cares about the fees?

Another nerve-wracking night at 4am... It’s already a blessing from above that I didn’t get completely wiped out this time.
This is a typical case: quick to take profits when winning, but just can’t let go when losing. What was I thinking?
