Watching $LIGHT surge four hundred times from its lows, helplessly seeing others make a fortune while your own long positions just fall apart. This feeling is truly despairing.



Upon reflection, it's not that people without a "crypto trading talent" can't participate in this market, but rather that most people simply don't understand risk control. Looking at those traders who keep getting liquidated, they often fall into the same trap: chasing highs, full positions, no stop-loss.

This wave of $LIGHT is a classic example—huge short-term gains attract followers to chase the high, then a correction comes, and leveraged liquidations happen immediately. The magic of contract trading lies here: making money so fast you feel like you're flying, but losing can happen in seconds.

The most realistic problem is that very few traders survive. The market's volatility and the dual nature of leverage doom most people to experience liquidation in the end. The issue isn't talent; it's whether you truly understand what you're playing with.

Really, the strategy of chasing highs and going all-in should have been abandoned long ago, or you'll end up losing everything eventually. A 400x return looks exciting, but most people don't have the luck to actually make that kind of profit, just thinking about it is frightening. Stop-loss is truly a lifesaver, but unfortunately most people can't learn how to use it. $LIGHT this wave is a classic gambler's game, resulting in heavy losses. Contracts are like that—one second you're in heaven, the next in hell, and you need a very strong mindset. If you can't understand risk control, no matter how smart you are, it's all pointless. Instead of envying others for 400x gains, it's better to learn how to survive first. Too many people get liquidated, which shows everyone is jumping into the same pit.

Honestly, a 400x rally is just a sieve, it filters out the clueless. Chasing highs with full positions is the fastest way to die, and this time $LIGHT$ should understand that. Risk control is really not some advanced trick, just don't be greedy, why is it so hard? Stop-loss, these two words, why are they so painful? Anyway, I’ve learned it, but the price was a bit high. Leverage is a double-edged sword, making money feels like heaven, but a correction can send you straight to hell. Watching others multiply 400 times while you get trapped just by opening a long position—how strong must your mentality be not to go crazy? Honestly, 90% of traders end up as cannon fodder; those who survive are already winners.

Really, after the LIGHT wave market, my mentality was shattered; chasing in just gets you cut. Honestly, it's still about not understanding the concept of stop-loss; going all-in and chasing highs is just asking for death. Leverage is indeed a devil; when you make money, it's exhilarating, but when you lose, you lose everything, even your pants. Traders who survive are truly rare; most are probably market casualties educated by the market.

Remember, when losing money, you need to stay even more clear-headed. That’s the beginning of rebirth through Nirvana. --- Another day of being taught a lesson by the market, but I choose to believe that opportunity is waiting for me at the bottom range. --- Stop-loss is easy to talk about, but how many people can really do it at critical moments... Ultimately, it’s still about having the right mindset. --- After such a big drop, think from a different perspective — this wave is actually building momentum for a return to value. Patience, it’s conservation of energy. --- I envy others who make 400x, but compared to chasing highs and getting liquidated, I’d rather go through cycles and wait for the next belief. --- That’s how contracts work: profits soar, losses happen in a second. Ultimately, you need to understand what game you’re playing. --- Everyone, don’t panic. The bear market cultivates the right mindset; what we need is to stay alive until that day comes. --- Those who chase highs with full positions are just gambling. I’m now focused only on emotional recovery and accumulation, waiting for the inevitable.

That's right, it's useless to just envy the 400x returns; the key is to stay alive until that day. Really, I've seen too many people fall into the trap of chasing high with full positions—one correction and it's game over, with no time even to cry. Instead of blaming a lack of talent, it's better to think carefully about why you feel the need to play with leverage. Those who can control their desires are indeed few.
