Insights on Long-Term Holding of $ETH
I've seen people say that liquidation is impossible, but in reality, more often than not, it's about cutting losses and exiting the market. One of my long-term trades is a living example — at the peak, the account was floating a profit of three thousand dollars, but I had to take a loss of one thousand dollars to close the position. That process was a bit torturous.
This experience makes me want to share a few points with everyone: doing long-term trading is really not a game. First, you need to have enough margin cushion so that in the face of volatility, you're not forced to cut losses; second, you need to maintain a steady mindset — no matter how big the fluctuations, you must be able to endure. Otherwise, you'll find yourself exiting at the worst times.
If your margin is tight or your psychological resilience is still being developed, my advice is not to force yourself into long-term trading. Intraday swing trading might be more suitable — it has shorter cycles, relatively manageable risks, and less psychological pressure. Choosing a trading style that fits you is much more reliable than blindly following the trend into long-term positions.
The margin cushion is really key. Without it, I wouldn't have the mental capacity to hold on at all.
Mindset really is the biggest enemy. If your margin is insufficient, don’t force it; it’s too painful to endure.
