#加密生态动态追踪 Recently, the win rate of contract trading has been continuously declining. I took some time to review my trading records and realized that the root of the problem is actually quite painful—it's not that my system is broken, but that the market has quietly changed its face, and I am still using the old strategies.



The most intuitive feeling is: the market is gradually weakening, and trading volume is noticeably shrinking. This directly leads to two issues—frequent false breakouts, and support and resistance levels that are unreliable. Yet I am still stubbornly chasing breakouts, opening positions frequently in a low-liquidity environment. The result? The market keeps teaching me lessons—stop-losses hit one after another, and my account keeps getting cut repeatedly.

The key is that during this stage, a situation where both longs and shorts are washed out easily can occur. When the market is unclear and liquidity is tight, strategies that purely chase prices are inherently at a disadvantage. Continuing like this, not only will I fail to make money, but just taking stop-losses can wear me down.

So I made some adjustments:

One is changing the entry approach—from blindly chasing breakouts to waiting for a rebound and confirmation before entering. It sounds slow, but using higher confirmation costs to reduce the chances of falling for false breakouts is worth it.

Second is strictly controlling risk—restraining each trade and setting hard limits on maximum daily or phase losses.

Basically, the logic is: in this trash market, rather than trading frequently to find opportunities, it’s better to make fewer mistakes. Staying alive is more important than making money. $ETH is also repeatedly testing support in this wave of pullback, and the same principle applies.

This is a real life lesson learned the hard way. I also got double wiped out in this wave. Now I see that your adjustment approach is quite clear-headed.

Hey, this is how I’ve been feeling lately, repeatedly educated by the market. Really, chasing breaks in low liquidity is just asking for trouble. I’ve just realized that. Less movement, fewer mistakes. Staying alive is the key. Earnings can come later. The days of stop-loss after stop-loss are too exhausting. Changing my strategy really saved me. This wave of market conditions should be taken easy, wait for opportunities, don’t chase them.

Bro, what you said hits the nail on the head. In a market with liquidity drying up, it's indeed easy to get trapped. I've also learned the hard way after losing a lot. You're right. Instead of messing around in this garbage market, it's better to tighten risk management to the extreme. Surviving is winning.

Damn, isn't this just a reflection of my recent trading, hitting stop-loss after stop-loss to the point of questioning life --- Really, chasing breakouts in low liquidity is just courting death. I was repeatedly shaken out before I finally woke up --- This is called that only being alive gives you a chance; it's more valuable than any technical indicator --- Changing the entry logic is an excellent point. I also shifted from chasing prices to waiting for confirmation --- Bad market conditions don't test your technical skills; they test who can survive and who wins --- Learning to set a strict risk control cap is essential, or else you're just a profit-making machine operating in reverse --- Market turnarounds hit hard. Those still using old strategies have already been numb from being cut out repeatedly

yeah, this hits different when you actually review the receipts... low liquidity traps are real and that's where most bleed out.

Damn, I just realized recently that all the breakthrough results I was chasing were fake, and my account was directly drained.

Now I really understand, don't chase breakouts, wait for pullbacks. Living is the real winner. --- I've also stepped into the trap of low liquidity, double washouts made me doubt life. --- It's painfully true, stop-loss can wear out your account, you gotta learn to be lazy. --- The strict risk control upper limit really saved me, otherwise I would have become a leek. --- The market's face-changing is the most terrifying when you still use yesterday's methods, no wonder you get cut. --- Making fewer mistakes is better than frequent trading to make money. This is probably the beginning of advancement. --- ETH's repeated testing this round shows extremely poor liquidity. Chasing prices blindly is just giving away money. --- Change to waiting for a rebound before entering. It sounds slow but can improve the win rate significantly. Have you weighed your options? --- In this trash market, it's better to cherish life. Not always all-in to find opportunities. --- Strict risk control really works. Setting a maximum daily loss helps you sleep peacefully with a clear mind.

This guy finally figured it out. I was also repeatedly educated by the market before. Really, chasing breakouts in low liquidity is just giving away money.

ngl, the pattern here screams textbook liquidity trap behavior. watched this exact scenario play out three times before—market thins out, fake wicks multiply, then everyone gets liquidated in sync. data doesn't lie.
