A significant pullback on the daily chart is often a good entry opportunity. However, regarding leverage multiples, I personally recommend keeping it below 20x for safety—high leverage not only incurs higher transaction costs but also makes meme coins inherently volatile, and a slight misjudgment can easily trigger a liquidation.

Uncertain about the entry timing? Instead of impulsive trading, it’s better to choose to add positions gradually to average down the cost. The core of trading meme coins and similar assets is hype and sentiment. If you’re unsure about the timing, frequently trading in and out will only increase the risk of losses. Instead of repeatedly making mistakes, it’s better to set stop-losses, lock in positions, and closely monitor market news and trends, waiting for more clear opportunities.

Below 20x? Bro, that's too conservative. A few days ago, I went all-in on altcoins at 50x and it exploded. I'm still regretting it. Gradually adding to your position is indeed reliable, but it's not as exciting; it feels like earning is slow. Mountain's popularity rises and falls quickly. By the time you realize it, the opportunity might already be gone. Stop-loss is easy to talk about, but when the market reverses, no one wants to cut their losses.

Below 20x? Bro, your suggestion is still too conservative. I usually keep a close eye on below 15x, and a small jump in altcoins can be gone in an instant. Gradual averaging down is indeed reliable. Compared to those gambler-style all-in bets, surviving longer is the real winner.

Below 20x? Bro, that's too conservative. I still think it depends on the market situation. Sometimes the opportunity is just in that瞬间 Batching to add positions is indeed reliable, saving you from going all-in and losing everything. That seems to be the key to meme coins --- Frequent trading truly is an IQ tax. It's better to hold a position and wait for news; if you have coins, you'll profit --- I've seen too many liquidation stories. You still need to set stop-losses and not be too greedy --- Exactly, high leverage is just gambling. Most people lose because of it --- Choosing difficulty is really heartbreaking. I don't know when to get on board --- Heat and sentiment are the real secrets to making money. Don't make it so complicated

empirically speaking, the data on altcoin liquidations suggests your 20x threshold is honestly too generous... vitalik's work on risk management already covered this back in 2021, but sure, let's pretend dca'ing into shitcoins is a governance problem nobody's addressed
