Last night's live recap. The short positions on BTC, PEPE, and ZEC all successfully closed with profits. Although the profits weren't explosive, steady gains are still quite satisfying.

In comparison, the altcoin situation wasn't very ideal. Two chasing-high orders ended in losses, which is a lesson learned — risk control always comes first. In the short term, I will continue to adhere to a conservative strategy and re-evaluate the logic behind selecting altcoins. Next time, I will continue to share trading ideas and market observations.

Steady as it is, the issue with altcoin selection logic is that it inherently lacks incentive compatibility. The two losses from chasing high prices stem from the absence of a prior risk screening mechanism.

Steady profits mean winning; don't tell me about explosive gains. Got caught chasing high-altitude altcoins? You should have known better. Risk control first, that's true. Next live stream, I'll be waiting to hear how you choose coins.

A conservative strategy is truly loved. Compared to those who chase highs and get liquidated, your thinking is really clear. --- Altcoins are a trap. Many people have fallen in and never climbed out. It's good that the original poster can recognize it. --- Three consecutive wins in short positions are quite stable. The only concern is that next time there's a pullback, you might get itchy and chase the high again. --- Stably taking profits is the real key; no matter how much profit, at least you're still alive. --- It's funny that risk control has been emphasized many times, yet the market has to hammer it into us again before we understand. --- Why are some still following the trend and chasing highs? Looking at your review, you should learn something. --- BTC is steady, PEPE is short-term, ZEC is doing well this wave. The trap of altcoins is indeed deep. --- Losing two trades is actually more valuable. When the next lesson comes, you'll truly understand.

Being cautious is the way to go. Altcoins are indeed easy to fall into traps with.

A prudent strategy is the key, and the pitfalls of altcoins are indeed deep. Chasing highs will lead to losses; hopefully, this time you've learned your lesson. BTC shorts are making steady profits; it's satisfying, but I still want more. With good risk control, nothing to fear, just fear of losing discipline. The logic for selecting altcoins needs to be reconstructed, or else you'll keep paying tuition repeatedly. This loss hurts a bit, but compared to past liquidation events, it's still manageable. This round of shorting was comfortable; just worried that a rebound might give it all back.

Shorting profits without risk, while altcoins crash, this lesson is indeed worth it --- Chasing highs and losing again, when will I learn not to be greedy --- A conservative strategy is the way to go, those friends going all in on altcoins, take a look --- BTC PEPE ZEC all hit the mark, your coin selection eye is pretty sharp --- Risk control is king, no doubt, many people fall into this trap --- Altcoin pitfalls are too deep, it's better to be honest and focus on stable large coins --- Profits are stable but not explosive, much better than getting rich overnight and then getting wiped out overnight --- Chasing highs and losing, serves you right, this is what you call paying tuition --- I feel your stop-loss awareness is stronger than most retail investors, at least you admit mistakes
