Yesterday I shared a viewpoint, but before it could gain any traction, the market just slapped me in the face. Such things happen from time to time—you think the situation is stable, then you're painfully educated by the market.

This is the normal state of trading and market analysis. No matter how accurate your judgment is, it can't withstand sudden shocks—bad news, a wave of whales dumping, can instantly overturn your expectations. Whether you missed something or the market is just inherently unpredictable, it's hard to say.

That said, these pullbacks are actually quite normal. There are no markets that only go up and never go down; every big fluctuation is a re-pricing. The key is to manage risk well—don't go all-in on one viewpoint, diversify your holdings, set proper stop-losses. That's the way to survive in this kind of uncertainty.

Haha, the feeling of being brutally beaten by the market, you really have to go all in to understand it.

Haha, this is our daily routine in this industry. Before the idea even warms up, the market slaps us awake. To be honest, I've lost a lot by going all-in on a single idea. Now I prefer to diversify, set stop-losses properly, and avoid being educated again.

empirically speaking, your risk management framework is solid but you're still treating this like market noise when the data suggests deeper protocol issues at play. ever consider that whale liquidations aren't random? they're predictable if you map the on-chain voting patterns against liquidity flows...

Haha, the market is just so realistic. Trying to predict it is useless; you'll get slapped in the face directly.

Haha, the market is really a realist. If you don’t believe in your own approach, that’s on you. --- I’ve also been hit hard, much worse than you, but I’ve gotten used to it. --- Everyone was stunned when the whale dumped, but that’s just the game rules. --- People who are all-in eventually end up reflecting on themselves; diversifying your positions is the way to go. --- Basically, it’s because they didn’t set proper stop-losses, so they deserve to be taught a lesson. --- Every time they say they see through it, but in the end, they’re still played by the market—laughing and crying. --- That’s why I only dare to bet at most thirty percent, the rest I watch and wait. --- Unexpected events are unavoidable; all you can do is pray you didn’t go all-in. --- Market anomalies are just that—someone else knows the news before you do. --- Risk management is a tired topic, but few actually practice it.
