That day, the market suddenly crashed, and I saw a pretty heartbreaking phenomenon in the group: retail investors frantically cutting losses, with various messages saying "been liquidated."

The sight of retail investors taking losses is indeed uncomfortable, but isn't this just the normal state of the market... Every time there's a flash crash, someone has to pay the tuition fee.

actually... this is exactly what happens when people don't understand the trust assumptions underlying their leverage positions. they're treating it like a zero-knowledge proof where they can hide their liquidation risk, but spoiler alert—the math doesn't work that way

This wave is really the start of a rookie harvest machine, it's heartbreaking to watch...

That's why you shouldn't go all in. With such a poor mindset, one dip and everything gets sold off.

Liquidation really isn't something to watch; the key is how not to become one of the "various" ones.

What can retail investors gain from cutting losses? You should have stopped the loss early, but you kept holding on stubbornly. If you’re timid this time, you'll have to do it again next time.

Retail investors are always the ones taking the loss, and they're also the ones bottom-fishing... Truly astonishing.

Cutting losses, cutting losses, I really can't watch anymore. Is this the fate of retail investors?

Those who cut losses are the ones who couldn't hold their psychological defenses. The real profit mechanism has long been understood.
