#以太坊大户持仓变化 Having been in the crypto world for nearly ten years, my earliest days were all about battling with contracts. Liquidation? That’s just part of the daily routine.
Funds just entered the account and haven't even warmed up yet, and a single fluctuation can make them vanish instantly. Back then, I only blamed the merciless market; only later did I realize—the real problem is right in the mirror. Greed, impatience, wanting to quickly recoup losses—these thoughts will gradually lead you into a trap.
Now I can't say I'm very strong, but at least I haven't been wiped out by a single market move in over half a year.
I want to share some words, all bought with real money. They might not sound pleasant, but they can help you lose less blood.
**When you're trapped, the first step is to accept reality.**
The real danger isn't usually the account drawdown, but the brain switching into "fantasy mode." How many people, upon being trapped, start adding to their position, repeatedly thinking "one more wave and I’ll break even"? But adding to your position without rigorous logical analysis and a solid plan is basically increasing your bets. Averaging down doesn’t lower your costs; it amplifies risk through compounding. Most of the time, averaging down results in digging yourself in even deeper.
**The calmer the market, the more you need to stay alert.**
After a sharp rise, entering a long period of sideways movement? Nine times out of ten, it’s either gathering strength or preparing for intense volatility. This eerie quietest is the easiest to make you complacent, itching to trade. Remember: within seemingly safe sideways ranges, hidden risks are often the greatest.
**Always leave yourself an exit.**
Full position sounds "hardcore," but in reality, it pushes you into a dead end. The market never follows your script. A single misjudgment, without backup funds, can wipe you out instantly.
**Finally, mindset is always the key.**
The market never truly eliminates the unskilled traders; it eliminates those with broken mentality. Don’t get impatient when you profit, don’t collapse when you lose—whether you survive till the end depends on this.
All these are real experiences, no secret investment tricks, but enough to prevent you from being instantly wiped out. If you’re not aiming for overnight riches and just want to walk the long-term path steadily, then we’re actually on the same road. $ETH $BNB

Adding to your request, here is the translation:
Dollar-cost averaging is really a death sentence; once you start, you can't stop.
---
Being in a sideways market is the most damn dangerous; this statement is too absolute.
---
Full position mentality will eventually cost you.
---
Ten years of ups and downs summarized perfectly, but execution is the hard part.
---
Emotional breakdown is the ultimate killer; I have deep personal experience with this.
---
Seemingly prudent advice, but in practice, it's all against human nature.
---
I need to get a tattoo of the phrase "leave some room for yourself."
---
It sounds simple to not add to a position when you're trapped, but in reality, it's easier said than done.

Honestly, I've heard so many times that "adding to your position" is the way to go, but it's still easy to get caught up in it.
---
The most terrifying thing is sideways trading; once your hand gets itchy, it's gone.
---
Full position = courting death, this must be deeply engraved in my mind.
---
The mental breakdown is real; no matter how good the technicals are, it's all useless.
---
Accepting reality hits hard; I'm the kind of person who deceives myself.
---
Giving myself some breathing room, it's easier said than done.
---
Big players probably go through the same thing; losing money is the fastest way to pay tuition.

Listen, going all-in really isn't something you can play with.
---
This guy is right, but I still tend to get carried away when it comes to adding positions.
---
During sideways markets, the urge to act is strongest; you have to rely on self-discipline to hold back.
---
It took me ten years to understand these principles, but I had to suffer losses a few times in two years to realize them.
---
Mindset is truly the ultimate boss; technical skills are actually not that difficult.
---
"Appears safe but hides the greatest risk," this statement hit me hard.
---
The advice to "leave some room" is brilliant; many people get liquidated directly because they go all-in.
---
Adding positions without reducing costs and only compounding risks—this logic I have to repeat over and over.

Oh my, you're starting to add to your position again. This time it's really incredible.

Speaking honestly, adding to your position is like increasing your bet; each time you add, you're digging your own grave.
---
The most dangerous time is during sideways trading; itching to trade is a sign of an impending margin call.
---
The lessons learned from ten years of ups and downs are basically given away for free.
---
A blown mindset is more deadly than poor technical skills; this is truly remarkable.
---
Full position is essentially a death sentence for yourself; the market never plays by the rules.
---
Accepting reality is the hardest step, but refusing to accept it is just self-deception.
---
The fantasy mode is activated, and it’s like writing a will for your account.
---
Not being forced out after half a year means nothing; I’ve never experienced that treatment.
