A trader shared his risk control system. It's not complicated; it's just a logical approach—when the coin price slightly retraces by 5% and 10%, continue to hold and observe. If it drops to 15%, check if the 5-day moving average can support it; if yes, add 10% to the position; if not, reduce 10%. When it falls to 20%, look at the 10-day moving average; if it can support, add 20%; otherwise, cut 20%. At a 25% drop, check the 20-day support; if available, add 30%; if not, reduce 30%. If it drops 30% and still doesn't hold the 20-day moving average, then clear the position to avoid deep losses.

There are also rules for rising markets. Hold through 10% and 20% gains; start reducing half the position at 30%, cut another 30% at 40%, and fully exit at 50%. The core of this approach is having a plan for both rises and falls, avoiding greed and fear.

Ha, this guy is talking nicely, but to me it sounds like he's teaching me how to systematically head towards liquidation. Wait, a 30% drop and still holding onto the 20-day moving average? Isn't that the same tactic I used in the last wave? And what happened? It got cut in half. It's really just a numbers game. When the market freaks out, this discipline becomes worthless paper. I've tried. The key is who can really follow this. As for me, I can't do it. I get greedy when it rises and panic when it falls. This theory is correct, but it's just that people can't do it.

Good words, but when the market crashes, who can stay calm and execute? This theory sounds perfect, but in practice, a 20% drop makes people panic. I just want to know how many people can really hold on without changing their plan when it drops to 30%. It seems logical, but in reality, it still tests human nature; most people can't withstand it. Is this guy really genuine or just a post-hoc genius writing backtest data? I agree with the part about adding positions, but the part about reducing positions always feels like leaving room for maneuver—those who understand, understand. The key is execution. There are many people with plans, but few stick to the end. The ideal is grand, but reality is quite harsh, everyone. This kind of stop-loss logic is basically betting that the line can hold; if it doesn't, you're dead. If it rises 50%, just run away—this mindset is a bit too conservative, right?

This guy has just quantified greed and fear. To put it simply, it's still about discipline. The risk control framework sounds perfect, but can you really stick to it in real trading? I've seen quite a few people who haven't stopped loss even after a 30% drop. Selling all at a 50% gain—how tough must that mindset be? I can't do it. But the most ruthless part of this system is the position reduction. Most people only add positions, not reduce. The key is execution. Having a framework is useless if you don't truly follow discipline. It looks simple, but traders who can strictly execute it are probably one in a million.

Looks good, but execution is difficult --- Easier said than done, really hell to implement, a 20% drop can crush your mentality --- If this discipline can really be maintained, early financial freedom is within reach --- The question is who can stay calm at 30%, wake up everyone --- Interesting, much more reliable than blindly buying and selling --- No problem reducing positions, but I think the part about increasing positions still needs some adjustments --- Another trader who can do the math, can they hold up in real trading for a week --- Talking on paper is the most comfortable, when it really drops, I can't even remember this set --- Logical closure, it all depends on who has this mindset --- Feels like something is missing, didn't mention the proportion of risk capital --- Amazing, finally seeing some brainy risk control ideas
