In the current obvious bullish trend, many traders face the core challenge of how to protect profits amid volatility. Based on the experience summaries of some seasoned traders, there is a relatively practical approach worth referencing.

The specific method is as follows: each time a rebound touches the resistance level, decisively establish a short position—that's the first step. Then, when the market reaches the preset take-profit level, close half of the position to lock in gains—that's the most critical risk control point. Keep the remaining position, set a breakeven line to ensure no loss, and patiently wait for the next rebound opportunity to re-enter. The advantage of this approach is—even if the subsequent breakeven line is broken, you have already profited from the first wave, maintaining an overall profit situation.

Mainstream cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH have recently shown trends that are indeed suitable for this strategy framework. However, it is important to emphasize that the market is unpredictable, and any strategy carries risks. This is just one possible operational idea; specific application should be carefully considered based on your own risk tolerance.

That's right, the key is to have discipline; otherwise, a rebound can easily lead to holding the position blindly. This logic sounds simple, but not many people can execute it properly. Closing half to lock in profits is indeed a great move, and it feels much more comfortable psychologically. However, I still think that a one-sided market can lead to complacency, which makes it even more dangerous.

Sounds good, but I still think the risk control part is explained too simply. --- The half-position take-profit trick is indeed very clever, but I'm worried the market might turn faster than expected. --- It's easiest to lose your composure when the break-even line is broken, easy to say but hard to do. --- The recent rebound strength of BTC has been quite fierce, but a small mistake in judging resistance levels can lead to heavy losses. --- I've heard this theory too many times; the key is to find your own rhythm. --- That's what they say, but in actual operation, who can be ruthless enough to take profit at the right moment? --- A one-sided market indeed requires this kind of approach, but greedy people will still want to take everything. --- It's interesting, but I'm more curious about how to use this logic in a ranging market.

nah this is just half-exit theater lmao... the real alpha is knowing when resistance becomes liquidity trap, not just "touching" it like some amateur. anyway the protection mechanism here is solid tho ngl

This theory sounds reasonable, but in real trading, I always get caught before the second rebound. Half-position take profit sounds good, but what if the market doesn't follow the usual pattern? Both the break-even line and the rebound level, the more rules there are, the easier it is to get confused. It's easy to say, but when it comes to actual operation, the mindset collapses. This approach might work for BTC, but ETH's high volatility is a different story. It looks simple, but in execution, it's full of pitfalls.
