#美联储降息 I haven't been making frequent trades recently, but I've been keeping a close eye on the market movements. The recent dip in Ethereum that triggered my stop-loss made me reflect seriously on my trading logic.
Looking back, opening a long position around 2940 wasn't really a problem. I followed the rally at that time, and when it reached the resistance zone, I took profits in a timely manner, ensuring safety and decent returns.
The real issue lies in the subsequent position addition. The trade added near 31 looked like a standard position size, but the existing lower-position holdings weren't thick enough, causing the cost basis to jump significantly. As a result, the earlier dip directly hit the stop-loss line.
Ethereum, as a coin, has significant volatility within its price swings. The larger the scale, the more intense the fluctuations. At this point, position management becomes critical — including the choice of entry points and the structure of the positions, all must be supported by clear logic. I must admit, sometimes I have been too aggressive in my entries.
Now, I’m hoping Q4 will bring some decent market moves to help recover a bit. But I also need to think clearly — once the positive news is priced in, it often turns into negative sentiment. How long can this growth momentum last? Ultimately, it depends on the market's real feedback. $BTC $ETH’s rhythm needs to keep up.

The moment your stop-loss gets hit is really frustrating, and not managing your position well when adding more is definitely a pitfall.

Ah, increasing positions in this wave indeed makes it easy to fall into traps. If the base position isn't strong, the cost soars like a rocket, it's uncomfortable.

I've been through the stop-loss breach before, and I really learned my lesson. Poor position structure design is like self-destructive behavior. The depth of the base position is indeed easy to overlook.

Adding more positions and getting trapped instead, that's the curse of the crypto world. The depth of the base position is really easy to overlook.

Adding to a position can indeed be risky; if the bottom position isn't strong enough, you'll have to suffer the losses.

This is the trap of increasing positions. If the bottom position isn't solid enough, adding another trade will just dig a pit for yourself.
