These past few days, the market has indeed been fierce. $LIGHT experienced a super decline and halved the day before yesterday. I initially thought it would continue to drop, but surprisingly, there are signs of stabilization starting today, and the rebound momentum is quite obvious. I advised friends who follow my signals to try going long with small leverage to test the waters. Now, there is already a profit of 1000U in the account. The next plan is to take the profits to cut losses and continue holding, aiming for the first target I previously provided.

As for $RIVER, the current floating loss situation is quite severe, now at 500U. If it doesn't hold the key support level next, I will directly admit defeat and exit—that's the survival rule of contracts. Many people get stuck because they are unwilling to cut losses, especially when trading altcoins. My experience is: once the trend is judged incorrectly, never hold on stubbornly; cutting losses and exiting is actually protecting yourself. The next trade can still recover, the key is to preserve the principal and maintain the mindset.

Trading contracts is not afraid of losses at all; what’s truly scary is blindly resisting.

Oh wow, LIGHT's rebound this time was indeed a good bottom-fishing opportunity, and I also took a little bit of the dip. Regarding stop-loss, you are absolutely right. Many people get wiped out because they stubbornly hold on, and it's really unnecessary.

From a technical perspective, there is a noteworthy phenomenon here—the rebound pattern of $LIGHT actually reflects the classic candlestick pattern recovery of market microstructure. Interestingly, the hidden core paradox behind the 1000U profit data point is related to risk management. Citing relevant research based on the Kelly criterion, over-leverage often leads to liquidation during seemingly stable rebounds. The 500U unrealized loss on the $RIVER side is indeed a case study material. According to behavioral finance research, the loss aversion psychology fundamentally causes most traders' stop-loss dilemmas. In summary, your "exit upon trend error" logic is essentially practicing the risk constraint framework in modern portfolio theory, which is quite reliable.

Oh wow, $LIGHT's rebound this time is really amazing. I thought it would continue to go down to hell before. The stop-loss strategy is spot on. Many people die because they can't bear to cut losses. I've seen someone hold on until liquidation, now that's truly tragic. $RIVER is indeed at a dangerous level. Not holding it and just walking away is the right move. Capital is always the most important. Futures trading is a mindset game. Don't think about turning things around in one shot. Every time you make money, it starts with protecting your capital. Do it again next time. With the current pace of $LIGHT, it feels like there's still room to grow. Continuing to observe. Honestly, the biggest fear in futures trading is greed. Clearly, you should exit but insist on holding on a bit longer. This market trend is indeed fierce. You need to find the right rhythm. Those who do good stop-losses can survive longer, and that's the truth.

Oh no, this rebound of $LIGHT really caught me off guard, and I'm watching it too. But a floating loss of 500U really requires decisive action; your awareness is much clearer than most people.
