Indeed, there are breakthroughs everywhere, but don't treat trading like a shooting spree; you need to strike with sniper-like precision. Before each setup, carefully assess your risk tolerance, and most importantly, consider the worst-case scenario—if the market moves against you, can you still hold? Enter selectively and control your position size to stay rational amidst market fluctuations.

Sniper is a metaphor you've heard enough, but this time it's the truth. What I fear most are those who go all-in in one shot, thinking they're a trading genius after just one win.

That's true, but very few people can actually do it. I've seen too many accounts get wiped out, all because of greed and losing control of their positions.

The sniper metaphor is excellent, but to be honest, most people are still spraying... They go all-in at the breakthrough, and only realize they regret it after losing.

yo this is exactly where most retail gets liquidated tho... everyone talks position sizing until their stop gets hunted and suddenly copium hits different. the real question isn't "can i survive the reversal" — it's "will i actually take the loss or just average down like a degen" 🤡 been there fr

It should be pointed out that your set of arguments was already discussed and debated by the community in 2017, but the key issue was selectively omitted by you — on-chain data shows that 80% of retail investors simply cannot perform "risk tolerance calculations" because they have no mathematical model at all. Clearly, the fundamental technique behind position management is the Kelly criterion, not mere speculation.

That's right, risk management is the cornerstone of making money. Too many people are greedy and end up losing everything.

That's true, but how many people can actually do that? Most people still act impulsively and seize every opportunity they see.

The sniper is right, but frankly, most people can't really calculate the risks.
