AVAX's recent correction has provided many opportunities. If you're optimistic about the future market, you can consider building a long position in the $13.2-$13.5 range, but the prerequisite is to implement proper risk control. Set your stop-loss strictly at $12.2; if it breaks below, exit immediately and don't hold onto any hope.

Taking profits in two steps is more prudent: when it reaches $14.5, first reduce half of your position to lock in gains; for the remaining part, aim to fully close at $15.

Position size should not be too aggressive; keeping it within 1% of your total funds is more reasonable. If you want to use leverage, 1-2x is sufficient—there's no need to go for high multiples to gamble. This way, you can participate in opportunities without risking your principal entirely due to black swan events.

I remember the stop-loss at 12.2, but to be honest, every time I set it like this, it still gets broken through. Entering long at $13.5 feels a bit high; I prefer to exit at 13.2. What's the point of 1x leverage? It's better to stay in cash and wait for lower levels. If this wave can reach 15, I'll open a bottle of champagne. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

13.2 this level is indeed tempting, but to be honest, a 1% position is a bit conservative... Wait, do you really strictly cut losses? I personally can't do it haha 2x leverage? I think it's better not to play, it's too easy to get anxious This wave of AVAX adjustment is testing your mentality. I've seen too many people die because of greed.

1% position? No wonder I always make so little profit. This wave of AVAX indeed looks comfortable. --- 13.2-13.5 layout? I already got in damn early. The stop-loss part is right; greed can really ruin a person. --- Here comes the advice to not use high leverage again. Everything they say is correct, but I just can't listen haha. --- I agree with taking profits in batches, but the problem is I just can't bear to sell at 14.5. --- The term "black swan" is now used very frequently, it feels like there's one every week. --- Strictly executing stop-loss? My account and I disagree. --- I really have no patience for low leverage; 1-2x conservative route.

1% position is a bit conservative, I still prefer to take a risk --- Stop loss at $12.2, I need to remember this, or I'll get caught again --- Wait, do I really need to take profits in two steps? I usually go all-in and clear my position --- 1-2x leverage is indeed stable, last time I used 5x and it was a disaster --- How about entering at $13.2? Is it still not reached yet? --- High leverage trading is really like suicide, the principal can easily be wiped out completely --- Can AVAX reach 15? It feels a bit uncertain --- Risk control is the most important. I used to fail because I didn't do it well and ended up losing everything --- I've tried two-step profit-taking, and it feels more comfortable to cut losses gradually haha --- Position within 1%? Then I need to adjust, I am clearly over the limit now

1% position is too conservative, I usually go with 3%. Anyway, AVAX's fundamentals are still stable this round. --- Honestly, the 12.2 stop-loss level must be held. I was unlucky and got caught out before due to complacency. --- 1-2x leverage is really enough. Those guys using 10x or 20x leverage will eventually get burned. --- $14.5 to sell half? Feels like it could stay up longer. --- This logic is the same every time, but I just can't stick to it. I always get greedy. --- I've been waiting for the 13.2 price for a long time. Now I'm a bit hesitant—should I get in? --- Black swan events are indeed hard to prevent, so controlling position size is still necessary. That's correct. --- Looks stable, but AVAX sometimes drops too quickly.

1% of the position is really too conservative, but then again, it does help you survive longer. --- Buy in at 13.2, sell at 14.5 halfway through. I've been tired of this routine for a long time, but it’s definitely stable. --- Can you make a profit with 1-2x leverage? Then what was I thinking when I got liquidated with 5x leverage before? --- The stop-loss at 12.2 is quite clear, just afraid I can't bring myself to do it. --- Feels like it’s not that easy to reach 15 anymore. If there’s repeated volatility in the middle, I might get shaken out. --- I agree with keeping the position within 1%, as for leverage... better not to touch it. The last lesson was too deep. --- This entry and exit logic is pretty good, but the key is whether you can stick to it. --- Always talk about risk control, but when the market actually comes, it’s all in.

13.2 I was already in that position a long time ago, just see if I can hold it. --- Here comes the 1-2x leverage again. How are those who said this last time doing now? --- Stop loss at 12.2... If it really drops to that point, I would have been liquidated long ago. --- Half position at 14.5, this logic isn't bad; greed can easily wipe everything out. --- The biggest fear is a black swan. To be safe, 1% is still correct. --- The AVAX rebound feels a bit weak; let's wait and see. --- Controlling position size makes sense; I was bloodied before because of being too aggressive. --- Can $15 really be reached? It's a bit uncertain. --- The strategy of taking profits is stable; it just earns less. --- Leverage is truly a double-edged sword; it could easily wipe you out entirely.
