Everyone in the crypto world who has made it this far understands one principle—being alive is the foundation, making money is just a way to live better.



Before I open a position, I always force myself to ask three soul-searching questions: Is this entry price reliable? Is my position size within controllable limits? Where is my stop loss set? If you want to stand out in the crypto space, you must establish your own trading system and continuously iterate and improve it. Over the years, I have focused on data analysis of contract trading, providing trading strategies based on multiple data dimensions.

Taking SOL as an example, recent market data looks like this: the 24-hour high touched 141.17, and the low dipped to 132.67. Based on different risk preferences, there are two camps:

**Bullish View (Northbound):**
Aggressive traders focus on going long in the 136-132 range, while conservative traders wait for 128-125 to enter. If it falls below 125, they must cut the position; the target profit zone is 145-153.

**Bearish View (Southbound):**
Aggressive traders short in the 142-146 range, while cautious traders only short when it reaches 146-153. Once it breaks above 153, they immediately stop loss, aiming for a pullback to 135-125.

Market movements are never 100% certain; by the time I post this, it might have already changed. So, stop loss is a must—this is not advice, it’s a necessity. No matter how small the position, discipline must be enforced. Never go all-in, never hold onto a position recklessly. The market is never wrong; only our understanding may lag behind. When the trend arrives, follow it; before the trend forms, stay calm and observe. One last thing: survival comes first, reject all irrational trading behaviors. Wishing everyone smooth trading in 2026.

You really can't skimp on stop-loss. Sometimes, I see some guys go all-in and instantly get wiped out, and I understand why.

Living is winning, everything else is a bonus.

As long as you're alive, that's enough; not getting cut is the true winner.

Exactly right, this is what people who have survived several bull and bear markets say. Stop-loss is truly a hundred times more important than profit; I've seen too many people go all-in and end up with nothing in the end.

Stop-loss is really a matter of life and death; I've seen too many people go all-in before and now they're all gone.

Stop-loss is really something you need to think carefully about, or you'll lose everything with a single all-in move.

You really can't skip stop-loss; only after losing do you understand.

Really, when it comes to stop-loss, the only two words are—stay alive.

If you didn't set your stop-loss properly, don't blame the market, blame your own careless hands.
