Selected a dark horse asset, but after careful consideration, I still decided to exit. I only caught a small rebound at the 5-minute level. This move taught me a clearer principle — rather than frequently chasing highs and selling lows, it's better to control the position size and hold the main chips. Small positions for trial and error, large positions for the trend — this kind of rhythm is the key to lasting longer in the crypto world.

Ha, sounds nice, but in the end it was retrieved again. Isn't that just because of inner unease?

This level of understanding is impressive; many people lose a lot of money without ever figuring this out.

Black horse topping out is very common, and I've been cut countless times too. But you've really had an epiphany this time. Chasing highs and selling lows is the biggest leek trap in the crypto world. Honestly, it's just a matter of unstable mentality. Small positions for trial and error, large positions for setting the direction—that logic I agree with. Trying to get back in after exiting? That's a bit reckless, brother... Position management is the key to lasting longer, not choosing the right coins.

Black horses need to be chased after they run away, I understand this mindset haha. But to be honest, position management is the key, and many people just don't get this point.

To be honest, I agree with this position management theory, but in practice, it really depends on your mindset.

Well said, that's enlightenment. I used to chase gains and sell in panic, but now I understand — small tests to gauge the market, large orders to buy the dip, controlling the rhythm is the key.
