#以太坊大户持仓变化 When it comes to short-term trading of coins like $JASMY and $BLESS, many people end up blaming "misreading the trend." But honestly, the real reasons are often hidden in the details, and they’re more painful than you think.



Recently, I’ve interacted with quite a few new traders. Most of them only start to understand after being shaken out by the market once or twice. Looking back, the mistakes are pretty much the same—it's not bad luck, but repeating the same errors. So why not just lay out the most common pitfalls clearly? Avoiding them means one less loss.

**Chasing highs and selling lows really can be life-threatening**

The market never moves in a straight line. It goes up for a while, then pauses; that’s the rule. When prices reach a high, are you still rushing in? Basically, you’re just catching the last wave. Especially in trending markets that hug the upper boundary, it’s easy to get swept up by emotions. Instead of rushing to open a position, wait until the price returns near the moving average. That way, you’ll see things more clearly, and the opportunity won’t slip away.

**The biggest trap in bottom-fishing: rushing**

Many think that bottom-fishing is about reacting faster than others. That’s not true. When a genuine reversal occurs, it will give you signals in both pattern and timing. Situations where prices suddenly bounce back are rarely seen in reality. Most of the time, after a decline, the market consolidates sideways, testing your patience, and then presents an irresistible temptation. That’s when the risk is at its highest.

**In a quiet market, don’t act recklessly**

When volume isn’t picking up, the market has little reference value. No matter how the market moves during this period, you can always find reasons. Many new orders are just money going out. Short-term trading relies on volume first, price second. When the moving averages gradually tighten, and suddenly a big volume bullish candle appears, that’s the real opportunity to bet.

**And finally, the most critical point: position size and stop-loss are life and death**

Unclear logic in a trade is better left alone than fought against. Overleveraging or setting stop-loss points randomly can lead to liquidation at any moment. No matter how patient you are, it won’t save a trade with flawed logic. But if your reasoning is sound, even if you get stopped out a few times, it won’t cause serious harm.

The essence of short-term trading is simple: it’s not about making huge profits every day, but about learning to survive. As long as your capital remains, the next wave of market opportunities will come.

Chasing gains and selling in a panic is really extreme. That was a harsh way to put it, but that's exactly how I got caught.

Chasing gains and panic selling is truly a terminal illness. I've seen too many people get liquidated directly because of this. It's heartbreaking.

That's right, the ones who chase the high are ultimately the bagholders. I remember the JASMY wave before; none of those who entered managed to come out alive. The trading volume was so poor, yet they still dared to push forward. Serves them right.

You're absolutely right. Chasing gains and cutting losses is truly a painful lesson. I've been trapped several times before I understood this principle. --- Regarding position management, I have deep experience. I almost got liquidated during a full gamble before. Now I prefer to earn less but stay alive. --- I now place special emphasis on the combination of volume and price. Avoid trading in low-volume markets, as it's too easy to get cut. --- Haha, beginners love to buy the dip halfway up the mountain. During sideways consolidation, it's the easiest time to get hit with a sudden crash. --- Stop-loss is really a protective moat. Without stop-loss, you're gambling with your life. Even the best technical skills can't save you. --- Most people are greedy. They want to push higher even after a big rise, and as a result, they become the confirmed bagholders. --- Orders with illogical reasoning are indeed better left undone. Instead of fighting losses, it's better to preserve the fire for the next wave. --- In short-term trading, survival is the most important. Only with the principal intact can there be hope to recover. Understanding this is key to long-term survival.

It's the same old story: chasing gains and selling in panic, suffering heavy losses, trying to buy the dip only to get cut... The problem is that many people know where the pitfalls are but can't change. Honestly, it's greed that causes this. I agree with the saying "Learn to survive first." Too many people are thinking about getting rich quickly, only to see their accounts wiped out.

To be honest, I've fallen into all these traps... The most heartbreaking one is still "Learn to live first." How many people have blown up directly because they didn't get their position management right?

That's so true, chasing gains and cutting losses is really a weed harvester. --- Position management is the key; if the stop-loss points are messed up, you're just waiting for liquidation. --- Most of the $JASMY people in this wave were controlled by emotions, they should have realized that early. --- The relationship between volume and price really needs to be understood thoroughly; otherwise, moving around in low-volume markets is just giving away money. --- You shouldn't rush to bottom fish; the frustrating sideways consolidation is the real test, and those who understand have survived. --- Only when your logic is clear can you dare to make a move; if your reasoning is a mess, resisting blindly will only lead to failure. --- As long as the principal is still there, there is hope. That hits hard.
