It has been less than two months since entering the market, with a total position of around 3300 so far and a paper loss of 2000 USD. To be honest, I am still adjusting my mindset. The main reason is that my initial operations were a bit aggressive, and now I am more focused on steady and reliable methods to recover the losses. The goal for this week is to reach 4000, which is challenging but not entirely hopeless.

Currently, I am tracking two main positions. For BTC, I plan to close part of the position near 8.92, mainly to lock in the early floating loss and protect the previous setbacks. The MERL position is at 0.47; this coin is quite volatile, so I might close the position early to secure profits and avoid gambling further.

Honestly, it’s about trading and learning simultaneously. Over the past two months, I’ve stepped into many pitfalls and gradually developed my own style. Position management and stop-loss are key points, and moving forward, the top priority is to recover the losses.

Losing 2000 USD in two months, I really need to adjust my mindset, but at least I haven't been liquidated yet. Take it slow. Hurry up and cut the loss on that BTC position, or it will only get worse the longer you wait. For volatile coins like MERL, it's better not to gamble. Taking profits when you're ahead is the best strategy.

Losing 2000 in two months, your mindset adjusts pretty quickly. If it were me, I would have already smashed my phone. Honestly, the idea of stopping loss at BTC 8.92 is fine, just afraid that if it rebounds, you'll want to hold on again. MERL should be sold early, don't be greedy. Learning while losing is a traditional skill in Web3. Hang in there, there's a chance to recover this wave.

Losing two thousand in two months, this mindset definitely needs adjustment, but admitting mistakes is the way to salvation. Taking early aggressive losses, now changing the style—that's the right move. BTC 8.92 break-even point is a good idea; instead of waiting for a rebound, better to lock in profits first. MERL is so volatile that it can really mess with people; clearing positions early is wise. Getting back to break-even is the top priority; this change in mindset shows some progress. Position management is the key; most people get stuck here. A target of 4,000 dollars isn't too difficult; the key is to stay disciplined. Learning from pitfalls—that's what you call tuition, and it's cheap. The phrase "no more gambling" shows realization; keep this momentum going. The secondary market is like this: survive first, then make money—nothing wrong with that.

Two months of losing 2000, you really have a tough mindset, brother. --- BTC was cut at 8.92, which shows you've already realized it. It's never too late to understand stop-loss. --- The volatility of MERL is not worth gambling on anymore; greed can really ruin a person. --- Pushing for 4000 is interesting, but don't rush. Steady and consistent progress is better than anything. --- Losing money for two months is probably just tuition; at least it's better than constantly losing money without knowing why. --- Position management is truly a matter of conscience; many people die because of this. --- Honestly, shifting from aggressive to conservative already means you've won half the battle. --- Preserving the principal is more difficult than doubling it. If you wake up to this, you can survive. --- Closing MERL early is the right move; getting back to break-even is the hard truth, everything else is nonsense. --- Losing 2000 on a 3000+ account is no small matter; I have to admit, you're still so calm.
