The market fluctuations over the past six months have truly taught me what stop-loss means. It's easy to say, but hard to do—the feeling of not being able to pull the trigger, the mirror reflecting a familiar yet strange self after a margin call, sometimes even a bit terrifying. Later, I gradually understood that instead of regretting afterward, it's better to set the stop-loss level at the moment of opening the position. Opening a position is also a form of self-discipline, making this small trading outpost less lonely. Surviving and coming out alive is already a blessing.
From a technical perspective, Sol is currently still a relatively strong player, and going long is the first choice. Hype performs weaker here; during the consolidation phase, short positions are more advantageous. Every decision must be responsible for oneself; stop-loss is not about admitting defeat, but about the price of continuing to live.

This wave is really spot on; stop-loss is the price of staying alive. The moment of liquidation, the person in the mirror indeed feels a bit unfamiliar.
But to be fair, Sol is indeed strong this time, but I haven't dared to touch Hype recently; it's too hard to grasp.

Honestly, stop-loss is really just talk; when it comes to actual pullbacks, everyone tends to get soft... We've all been through this.
Sol can still be traded, but no matter how you look at this hype, something feels off. During this consolidation period, short positions are definitely more profitable.

That's so true, stop-loss is really a form of cultivation, not just a skill. I used to be the kind of person who couldn't bring myself to press it, but now I understand that staying alive is more important than anything.
Sol is indeed strong this round, following the rhythm shouldn't be a big problem. I'm also watching the Hype short position strategy, just to see if it can withstand this wave of volatility.

Stop-loss really requires a firm decision; otherwise, when your mentality collapses in the end, it’s even more painful than losing money... SOL is indeed strong this time, but the hype is really disappointing.

Really, the hardest part is the moment of stop-loss... I’ve experienced that feeling too, my fingers were trembling.
That night of liquidation, I looked in the mirror, it was both familiar and unfamiliar, but luckily I came to terms with it later.
Sol is indeed strong this wave, I’m also bullish. The hype side really can’t be pushed up, short positions feel more comfortable.
Well said, continuing to live is more important than anything else.
Stop-loss is really not about giving up, it’s just a life-saving fee.

Once you've experienced it, you'll understand that setting a stop-loss is truly a lifesaver.

After experiencing a liquidation once, I really learned my lesson. Stop-loss is, frankly, the cost of staying alive.

After experiencing a liquidation once, I realized that the moment I can't hold on is the time to cut losses.
Really, setting a stop-loss changes your mindset; otherwise, you're just waiting to die.
Sol is still worth chasing, but Hype is indeed weak this time, so it's better to hold a short position steadily.
Ultimately, staying alive is the most important, making money is secondary.
