During the time holding a PIPPIN short position, the deepest realization is that choosing the right timing is really crucial. Watching the market rise from 0.00226 to 0.5, nearly 200 times the increase, I am both amazed by the market's power and understand what a profit point for the big players looks like. In this surge, the more meticulous you are with leverage and position management, the more stable your mindset becomes, and your sleep quality improves accordingly.
However, it's easier said than done. The true way to make money isn't through frequent trading, but rather by waiting—waiting for the market to fully develop, waiting for the heat to reach its peak, then entering precisely. Many people make the mistake of being too impatient, wanting to take a bite at the first sign of volatility, only to end up losing everything. Small profits often turn out to be the biggest trap.
For beginners, the two most important things before entering this market are: first, find a reliable community and get guidance from experienced people; second, systematically learn about position management and risk control. The market is right there, opportunities are plentiful, but the premise is that you must stay alive and keep the money you earn. That is the long-term winning strategy.

Short positions from 0.00226 to 0.5, I really didn't catch the bottom this time. Watching others make money is still a bit frustrating haha.
Wait, this market really shows what it means to be patient. I was just too impatient before.
I think the point about position management is very right. Many people are killed by greed.
It also reminds me of my operations a few months ago, constantly entering and exiting, to the point of doubting my life.
Finding the right guide is really crucial, otherwise it's just guesswork.

Speaking of 200x leverage, I still don't quite understand. Short positions can still win passively like this. I need to learn.

Uh... 200x looks exciting, but the few times I lost are even worse. Truly, making money is about waiting, losing money is about panic.

That's why I now only look at candlestick charts and not at the account; my mindset is much better.
---
Position management is really the ceiling, no doubt.
---
I really dislike those who come to teach risk control without ever being caught. Try getting slapped in the face once, and you'll know what fear really is.
---
Wait, waiting for the market to pass isn't useful either.
---
When it comes to leading others, finding reliable people can indeed help avoid pitfalls, but reliable people are hard to find.

My sleep quality has improved haha. This PIPPIN wave really woke me up.

That's right, it's just poor execution. I know not to trade to make money, but I just can't stay idle.

200x... Seeing others make so much money, it's hard not to be tempted, but I'm really scared now. I've been squeezed out of short positions so many times that I finally understand the importance of stop-loss.
