If you're trapped, don't play dead, and don't stubbornly hold on. Listen to me, being stuck is not a dead end; it all depends on how you move.

If you're slightly stuck, don’t cling to the battle; run at the first sign of a rebound. Losing a little is better than losing a lot; don't think about escaping entirely, that's luck, not strategy.

If you're deeply stuck, don't get emotional. Cut your losses to save yourself, keep some chips to survive, and don't put everything into waiting for 'unwinding'.

Then see how the market moves:

No trend and still playing dead? Quickly stop your losses, keep some money for the next round.

Stuck in the middle, neither up nor down? Don’t make rash moves, wait for a signal to act.

If you really need to add to your position, first confirm that you can hold it; don’t overcommit and end up losing everything.

Remember these three phrases:

If you can run, run; don’t pretend to have faith.

Don’t use leverage; don’t hold until the end.

You’re not here to gamble with your life; you’re here to make money.

Don’t fantasize that the market will be lenient; it only cuts those who remain stagnant for too long.

Still hoping to lie flat, with a copycat soaring and air coins doubling? By then, will you still be talking to your stuck position?
