What truly causes people to completely exit the market is never that blackened candlestick. The real killer is your stubbornness about your own judgment.
The most frightening thing about a margin call isn't the zeroing out of your funds, but the complete collapse of your mindset at that moment. Clearly knowing you should reduce your position, yet still wanting to hold on a little longer — only to miss the rebound and get liquidated first.
Many people blame the market harshly. But in reality? Most of the time, it's because they are unwilling to admit defeat. Whether it's SOL or other coins, the market never waits for anyone; it just moves at its own pace.
The act of stop-loss may seem like giving up. In fact, it's about preserving chips for the next round.
People who survive longer on exchanges may not have the highest win rate. But they share one trait: knowing when to say "I'm wrong," and not hesitating when it's time to cut losses. The market teaches everyone in the same way — it all depends on whether you're willing to listen.

That was harsh, but it really hits home. The worst part is knowing you should sell, but your hand keeps trembling nonstop.

Really? How many people have been sent in by stubbornly holding on to this set...
Honestly, it's still greed. You have to wait for that rebound, but instead of a strong liquidation, it comes first.
Why is it so hard to say the words "give up"?
Stop-loss is the art of staying alive, saving bullets for the next round.

You're right, admitting defeat is the smartest way to live. I've seen too many people hold on until they go to zero just because they can't let go of that pride. Stop-loss isn't about being cowardly; it's about saving your life.
