Staring at the loss numbers in the account, tossing and turning at three in the morning—having been stuck in a position for half a month, afraid to add to the position for fear of a drop, and afraid to cut losses for fear of a rise, looking at the technical indicators in hand again and again, but the more I look, the more confused I become. Over the years of trading, you have experienced volatility, but this time being stuck is particularly exhausting: clearly knowing that the support level has broken and that you should reduce your position, yet always thinking 'let's wait for a rebound,' resulting in an increasingly heavy position and a crumbling mentality.
In fact, for seasoned players, what’s lacking isn’t analytical ability, but someone to help you break through that layer of 'the observer is confused.' Last month, I helped a friend who trades contracts to unwind his stuck position; he had a long position of 120,000 USDT stuck at 126,000 points, the daily MACD had crossed down, yet he was still waiting for 'the main force to turn back.' I advised him to first operate according to the 'stair-step method': if it breaks below 124,000, cut 30%, use the recovered funds to buy back at 122,000, and sell 20% when it rebounds to 125,000—after this operation, not only did it prevent the losses from expanding, but it also managed to recover 21,000 USDT through the fluctuations. He later said it wasn’t that he didn’t know how to trade; it was that his mentality was chaotic when stuck, and he needed someone to break down the steps for him.
Here are three practical hard tricks that seasoned players can use:
• Unwind positions to lower costs: Divide 100,000 USDT of stuck positions into '50,000 base position + 50,000 flexible position,' with the base position bearing the trend, and the flexible position divided into 4 parts—add 1 part at the support level and sell 1 part at the resistance level; even if it’s sideways, you can dilute the cost by 8%-12% each month;
• Stop-loss plus buffer zone: Break down the stop-loss line into 'warning line + execution line,' for example, a stop-loss at 110,000, reduce 20% at 112,000 first, and then cut 30% if it breaks 110,000, maintaining discipline while leaving room;
• Hedge to earn from volatility: Use 10% of your position to trade in the opposite contract, and the profits earned directly offset the losses from the stuck positions, like adding a water pump to a leaking boat to gradually fill back the losses.
You already have a rough idea of where your positions are stuck, at the support and resistance levels, but you got out of rhythm when you were eager to recover. Now send me a screenshot of your positions, and I will help you mark the operation nodes: where to add positions when it drops tomorrow, where to reduce positions when it rises, and how to set the stop-loss line—there’s no need to wait for the market to save you; use rules to turn passivity into proactivity.
