I recently turned a short position's profit 9 times over, with the initial margin of 200 dollars suddenly becoming 1800 dollars. To be honest, I had already judged that this coin was about to peak, so I continued holding the short position, and it didn't disappoint me.

But here's the problem—many people ask me why I don't keep playing this coin. The reason is simple: the fee rates keep decreasing, so even holding the position doesn't cost much, and the profit margin is being squeezed. At this point, stubbornly holding on makes the overall outlook seem a bit narrow.

Opportunities in the crypto market are never lacking; the key is to know when to switch tracks. My current approach is to find the next potential explosive altcoin, seize the opportunity while it lasts, and continue seeking growth points through leverage trading. Risk and reward always go hand in hand, and those who understand, understand.

A ninefold return is indeed impressive, but I have to applaud your vision for taking profits when things look good. Where's the next doubling? Now that altcoins are so competitive. Turning 200 into 1800 is truly wild, but do you really dare to go all-in on the next one? Knowing how to switch tracks is important, but one wrong move could lead to a reverse operation. This round has profits, but it also makes it clear that the space for fee squeezing is quite painful. Having ideas is good, but the biggest risk in this kind of leverage game is greed.

A 9x return is indeed impressive, but in times like these, you really need to know when to take profits. The next altcoin is just gambling, and you want to keep playing with leverage? Bro, your vision is truly broad. From 200 to 1800, it's time to set off fireworks. Greed can send you back to the Stone Age in minutes. Seriously, when fees drop, it's time to change your strategy, not keep going all-in. This move is good, but the key is not to let the profits slip away again, brother.

Spend 200 to make 1800, feels good, but it's really time to cash out Switching tracks is the real way to go, don't stick to the dead-end coins and fight a losing battle Ninefold returns are good, greed can easily lead to a quick loss Finding explosive coins is the real deal, opportunities don't wait for anyone This time the judgment was on point, where's the next altcoin? Leverage needs to be used with caution, otherwise you can make quick profits but also lose quickly

A 9x profit is impressive, but the real trading master knows when to take profits. This guy is right; greed is the father of liquidation. Taking profits timely is more challenging than holding on blindly. The next altcoin story is already brewing; it all depends on who can catch the right rhythm. When fees are lowered, it's time to move elsewhere. That’s true market intuition—going against the trend means avoiding losses. A 9x return is nothing special; the key is to preserve your principal and keep looking for that 10x opportunity. Honestly, this mindset is more valuable than the 9x gains themselves.

Alright, this short position played out okay, but greed can easily lead to a reversal. A 9x return should remind you to take profits when it's good, don't wait until the fees eat up all the gains and then regret. Find the next target coin, you really need to broaden your perspective. This trading approach is fine, but leverage is a double-edged sword—profits come quickly, so do losses. Be cautious. That's right, there are plenty of opportunities; the key is timing. Don't stick stubbornly to one coin and fight to the death.

Ninefold returns sound great, but the real test is the profit-taking mechanism design—when to exit, this is the dividing line between gamblers and traders.
