Looking at $PIPPIN's recent market trend, my idea is to exit if I can catch a 10% decline, with a stop-loss also set at 10%. Honestly, taking a 5% profit and then leaving is also completely fine.

The current state of the contract market is right there — various funds use hourly-level costs to target short positions. This approach directly determines that you simply can't hold onto positions longer than 5 days. If you want to live more comfortably, you can only do short-term trading within the hourly dimension. My personal experience is that once the holding time exceeds half a day, the psychological pressure starts to become quite uncomfortable.

Rather than greedily chasing seemingly lucrative long-term opportunities, it's better to steadily profit within a time frame you can control. This is the logic for surviving in the current contract environment.

5%就跑，这哥们想得明白啊，比那些梦想暴富的清醒多了 --- Half a day holding position and starting to feel uncomfortable, haha I knew you are also like this --- That's right, now it's all about the time frame, long-term cycles can't be played at all --- Instead of waiting for the big cake, it's better to repeatedly cut leeks on the hourly level, got it --- PIPPIN's 10% stop loss this time is steady and prudent, but it's about whether the execution can keep up --- The contract environment is like this, the greedy ones have all been harvested, as long as you're alive, you win --- This logic is correct, taking 5% and then leaving is much better than those who hold heavy positions and die hard

Run at 5%, mindset is more important than anything else, or you won't last a few days.

Here's the translation to en-US: Sell at 5% gain, that's the art of staying alive. Long-term holding is just self-punishment. Take a 5x and cut, saves you from losing sleep at night. I'm on board with that. Short-term flipping and harvesting retail investors repeatedly - isn't that sweet? Why obsess over five days of price action? Honestly, I start losing it after half a day. Rather than waiting for a moonshot, steady gains are the move. This market is a meat grinder on the hourly timeframe. Long-term positions deserve to get liquidated.

Running at 5% is much more aggressive than me. This environment indeed, holding long-term is just courting death. Short-term trading on an hourly basis is the way to survive.

5% and then exit, now that's living wisely But I still think it's a bit conservative... Who dares to hold for more than half a day in this market People are really numb

5% is enough; greed is the root of losing your assets --- Short-term sniping is the way to go; long-term holding is basically a battle against oneself --- Haha, it's another hourly-level game, easy to say, but when actually trading, you still have to endure psychological torment --- There's some truth to it, but setting a 10% stop-loss is a bit too loose --- Oh my, it's easy to say, but in reality, we're all just getting caught in it --- Repeated profits sound great, but most people simply can't keep up with the rhythm --- This logic isn't wrong; just executing it is another matter

5% and run, this guy really just wants to leave the casino alive Speaking of long-term holding, it’s indeed a pain; quick short-term gains through repeatedly cutting the leeks are faster Is everyone so competitive now, fighting each other on the hourly level… so exhausting I feel the same, if my mentality collapses after half a day, I might as well honestly take a 5% profit per trade and walk away That greed mentality should have been thrown away long ago; living is more important than making big money I respect this logic, much more reliable than those who shout about tenfold returns every day

Run at 5%, this is the most comfortable way to live I've seen through it long ago, you can't really play the long-term, just repeatedly scalp on the hourly level Greed is endless, in the end you can't get anything, I support this logic The contract market is too deep, it's better to stay cautious Rather than betting on those vague long cycles, it's better to be honest and cut losses Frequent short-term profits are really much more satisfying than all-in 10% stop loss, run at 5%, this guy is the clearest I’ve ever seen

A 10% drop and you're out? Honestly, that's a very steady mindset. 5% satisfaction? Bro, you really understand life. I see many still stubbornly holding on. Short-term trading is the way to go. The long-term approach is outdated. Who still dares to hold for more than half a day now?
