#2026年比特币价格展望 Liquidation people always love to say "bad luck," after ten years, I've heard that so many times my ears have developed calluses.

But there's only one truth: they simply don't know how to manage their positions.

I've seen too many classic ways to die:
• When the market moves a little, they can't wait to rush out, only to be pulled straight up.
• When the direction is right, a 5% pullback breaks their psychological line of defense, and they get washed out.
• When the price drops, they keep throwing money in, increasing their position size, only to be wiped out by a single bearish candle.

This isn't trading; it's pure gambling with your life.

Traders who have truly survived until now? Their mindset is completely reversed. Their first thought isn't how to win, but how to keep their capital alive.

Many people's understanding of position management is "full position with floating profits + all-in," essentially working for the exchange.

My approach is just a few principles:
1. Use small amounts to verify the direction, keep stop-losses close, and withdraw immediately if wrong.
2. Only act when the direction is confirmed; use profits to expand the position, without risking a single cent of the principal.
3. The clearer the market, the more patient you must be; if you're hesitant, withdraw immediately.

In major market moves, floating profits can explode quickly, surpassing the principal in just a few days. At this point, experienced traders become more alert, locking in profits as insurance rather than continuing to run naked.

Most people only see others making several times their gains, never asking how others manage to preserve their profits during wild surges and crashes. In the same market move, some double their gains, others get wiped out. The key isn't about predicting accurately but about whether your position sizing is smart.

In the futures market, it’s not about who dares, but who understands the rules.

When you truly figure out:
• Which nodes to test the waters lightly
• When to take profits to amplify
• When to stop

then you've truly broken through the barrier of position management.

As for the signal I should now "start to layout"? You definitely won't find it in the craziest parts of the candlestick charts. When you reach that level yourself, you'll naturally understand.

It gives me chills, everything you said is right, but I just can't do it.

That's right, but the mental state has collapsed. Setting stop-losses really needs to be taken seriously. Every transaction I put into the multi-signature wallet comes with an emergency evacuation plan. Protecting the private key management process is the first step, rather than just focusing on the numbers in the account. When the market turns big, staying calm is even more crucial. Position allocation indeed determines life or death; it's not something you can gamble on with predictions. For those who never thought about how to verify with small amounts before going all-in, you'll eventually have to pay tuition fees. Your approach is similar to my on-chain analysis habits—it's all about surviving first. One sentence: Greed is the most expensive.

It's a bit annoying to hear, every time there's a sharp decline, it's the same explanation... but it does hit the point. Position management is easy to talk about but hard to do; most people still have a collapsed mindset.

That was too incredible. This is the blood and tears lesson I’ve learned over the past two years. Every time I see a floating profit, I start to go all in, and then a single bearish candle shatters my dreams. Really, position management is easy to say, but very few actually do it. Right now, I’m just learning how to keep my principal alive. Every point this guy made, I’ve fallen into the trap. Especially that deadly method of "adding funds during a dip." I’ve seen too many people crash and burn that way. I envy others for their multiple times returns, never thinking about how they manage to walk away unscathed during a crash. That’s probably the beginning of losing.

Damn, the matter of position management is really true... I've seen too many people go all-in and then wake up the next day back to square one.

Honestly, I'm tired of hearing this logic, but it does make sense... most people simply can't do it, including myself. --- That phrase "stop-loss close to you" really hit me. Every time I agree, but as soon as the market rebounds, I start fantasizing again. --- "Use the money earned to expand positions, without risking a single penny of the principal"—that's the real way to live. Unfortunately, I'm still in the learning stage. --- I really dislike those overnight wealth dreams, especially when people haven't even learned basic position management but dare to leverage. --- People who understand the rules do tend to live longer, I agree. But who can truly distinguish when to stop?

It hurts a bit to listen, and I've definitely seen too many people washed out still saying "just a little more." Forget it, let's first learn how to live, making money can wait. I understand this logic, but executing it is really difficult. Those who go all-in and blow up their accounts think they're ace traders, but they're actually gamblers. They're right, but how many people forget after watching and go all in again tomorrow.

That's right, but it's a mental breakdown. Looking at those liquidation screenshots, eight out of ten are caused by their own greed. Going all-in with full position size is really the stupidest thing in trading; it's no wonder you're losing. I agree with this position management logic, but too many people can't accept it and have to use their principal as tuition fees.
