The most heartbreaking part of trading is actually being stopped out. Yesterday's round of operations had a good chance—19 trades with 17 wins, which looks pretty good. But those 2 losses are very representative. They all stem from the same issue: opening a long position to hedge just before a big bearish candle, only to get slammed and have the hedge also lose. That's why some traders say "hedging isn't 100% safe"—the timing was off, and the protective measures became a burden instead.



878 is a very interesting level, worth discussing separately. From the trading records, the success rate here is particularly high, and I haven't really fallen into traps. This kind of position can usually support a rebound for about an hour, making it suitable for short-term breakouts or using profits to test the waters. In the short term, the market shows clearer signs of bottoming out around this area. Instead of waiting for the perfect entry point, it's better to take some realized gains and try within this range—costs are already lowered, and the risk is much more manageable. This is the difference between experienced trading and pure technical analysis.

Hedging, to put it simply, is adding an extra layer of incorrect logic at the wrong time—similar to a re-entrancy attack. You think you've insured yourself, but it ends up exposing a deeper vulnerability.

Oh no, hedging has become a burden instead, that really hits home. Hedging during a dump is useless; it's really a matter of timing. I also paid attention to the 878 level, it feels quite stable. Instead of waiting for the perfect moment, it's better to test the waters with unrealized gains. Holding 19 hands and winning 17 is already good; those 2 can be considered tuition fees. Injecting false signals is the most disgusting, unpredictable and hard to defend against. Experience trading is about daring to go in; relying solely on technical analysis can lead to losses. The rebound around the 878 level for about an hour is quite interesting data. Hedging, if not thought through carefully, can backfire instead.

Hedging can't save those whose fate is sealed; timing is everything.
