#美联储FOMC会议 About the Things Related to Staggered Position Building

Staggered position building sounds simple, but in practice it’s a learned skill. Many traders follow this pattern: as soon as they make a profit, they immediately sell, satisfied with a small gain. Conversely, once they incur a loss, they hold on stubbornly, often ending up losing everything in the end.

The biggest pitfall here is the mindset issue. $BTC $ETH $SOL The fluctuation patterns of mainstream cryptocurrencies tell us that prices can theoretically go up and down infinitely — but many traders just can’t accept this, always thinking that a bounce should happen after a certain drop.

The correct approach to staggered position building:
- Buy more as the price drops, but have a plan; don’t chase the fall without limits
- Take profits on small gains and reduce positions; accumulating small wins is more stable than risking a big bet all at once
- Reset after a loss? That’s absolutely the most deadly taboo in trading

The market moves fast, but your trading mindset must be slow. Otherwise, even a large capital can’t withstand such turbulence.

Honestly, this mindset issue is the biggest devil. How many pits have I fallen into myself? Make a little profit and run, lose and stubbornly hold on, repeating this cycle until I become numb, and the principal is gone. Planning to buy more as it dips is easy to say but extremely difficult to do. As soon as I see a green candle, my mentality explodes. Small profits add up over time, and this trick is indeed brilliant, but many people's greed just can't be suppressed.

Really speaking, those who run after a profit and hold on through losses are fools; I've seen plenty of them. The idea of buying more as the price drops is simple and super simple to say, but the real challenge is not to be driven by emotions. Too many people get trapped by their mindset. Small profit-taking strategies are indeed more stable and much more reliable than those who go all-in dreaming of doubling their money.

That's so true. People with poor mentality just like to chase highs and sell lows. I've seen too many such retail investors. Make a little profit and run, lose big and regret—that kind of psychological resilience really can't handle the crypto world. The core of batch trading is really discipline. Without discipline, everything is pointless. Holding onto a position stubbornly is the most dangerous; people who don't know when to cut losses won't last long. The saying "the more it falls, the more it adds up" sounds simple, but executing it requires a strong psychological mindset. Most people simply can't do it. HODL sounds easy, but how many truly don't look at the charts? They're just talk. The theory of accumulating small wins into big wins is fine, but the problem is that during execution, people always want to buy the dip a little more.

That's right, it's all about the mindset of not giving up. Making some profit and then running, losing and holding on, going all in and ending up with nothing. I'm the type of person who still wants to dig deeper after hitting the floor. And guess what... Really, the hardest part of small-profit taking is actually doing it. You think, since it's already fallen so much, might as well go all in for a turnaround. And then you actually turn around, but end up at zero. The key is still to have execution power. A good plan is useless if you only talk about it and don't act. A calm mindset and steady pace are essential. It sounds simple, but actually doing it is truly hellish.

Basically, it's about mindset. How many people get wiped out by the phrase "This time it will definitely rebound"? Quick money often leads to big losses; those who truly survive are the ones quietly adding to their positions. Chasing a falling market without limits = suicidal trading. How many times do I have to say this, yet some people still don't listen.

That's right, mindset is really the biggest enemy in trading. It's easy to say but hard to do; most people just take profits and run, and stubbornly hold on when they lose. After this FOMC, I guess a bunch of people will probably get burned again.
