For those trading small-cap coins, staying up late to monitor the market is really crucial. Without notice, your holdings can become liquidity pools for big players — this is no joke. Small coins that seem to have trading volume often have very fragile liquidity depth. Once faced with concentrated selling pressure or main force accumulation, retail investors are easily trapped. So instead of sacrificing sleep, it's better to manage risks in advance — set proper stop-loss levels, avoid excessive leverage, and regularly check your portfolio structure. The crypto world offers many opportunities, but there are also many traps. Protecting your principal is the hard truth for long-term trading.

Staying up all night watching the market, but still got cut. This is the fate of small coins, I guess.

Staying up all night watching the market? I really refuse to do that; sleep is the primary productivity.

Staying up all night watching the market? I just set the stop-loss and go to sleep. When I wake up, I check if it's still there.

Burning the midnight oil watching the market? Wake up, big players don't care whether you watch or not; they still cut the leeks.

Staying up all night watching the market is bullshit, I was directly absorbed by the accumulation.

Here we go again, stop-loss, stop-loss, I already hit a negative stop-loss long ago.
---
The liquidity of small coins is really fragile, a single big buy-in immediately causes slippage.
---
It's easy to say, but who the hell can resist buying the dip at critical moments?
---
Protect the principal? It's been gone long ago, brother. Now we're playing with borrowed money.
---
Leverage is meant to turn things around; how can it be overused?
---
Got it, so retail investors should just obediently get liquidated, right? This game has never been fair.

Here comes another advice to set stop-loss, but I understand now—keeping the principal alive is the key.
