8 Years Stuck in Orders – Tips to Escape the Trap in the Crypto Market

Crypto players, if you haven’t been stuck in a position, you can’t really be called a “professional in the field.” I have been in this market for 8 years, witnessing all kinds of scenes: people making a fortune, people burning their accounts, and many panicking when prices turn around. The important thing is not that you haven’t made mistakes, but how you handle them after making mistakes. When Stuck in a Position, Psychology Is More Important Than Technique When I first started, I was also impatient. As soon as I was stuck, I rushed to fix it, added more money, averaging the price “mid-hill,” only to see the account go deeper into the negative. Later, I understood: The market doesn’t show mercy to anyone. The more impatient you are, the higher the price you pay. Getting out of a stuck position doesn’t come from a miraculous move. It comes from discipline, patience, and a clear plan. Like playing cards: trying to make a big move with a bad hand usually results in bigger losses. Knowing when to cut losses is already a win. Three Principles for Getting Out of a Stuck Position You Must Remember

1. Don’t rush to average down Many people “die” because the more they are stuck, the more they pump in money. I set rules for myself: Each coin should not exceed 10% of the total capital. Each averaging should not exceed 30% of the initial position. The goal is to preserve strength, not to gamble recklessly.
2. Forget the cost basis – focus on the trend Clinging tightly to the “purchase price” causes emotions to be pulled along with each candle. My current approach is to only look at the trend: market structure, support – resistance zones, momentum. The cost basis is just a past number.
3. Resolve stuck positions in parts When I see a short-term bottom zone, I enter small trades to lower the cost basis, never “all-in.” The market always offers many opportunities; the issue is whether you still have capital to seize them. Adjustments Are Opportunities, Not Disasters Each correction is a market “rearrangement.” Calm traders gradually accumulate when the crowd is scared, rather than chasing after prices that have already soared. Remember: the big profit in an up cycle comes from having money left after the down cycle. Surviving Is Winning Crypto is not short of opportunities; it’s short of disciplined people who can survive until the next opportunity appears. I have seen many “early stars” — quick wins but leaving the game just as fast because they don’t manage risks. Success doesn’t come from a single trade but from a series of correct decisions: Enter small positions, manage capital strictly. Plan your averaging, avoid emotional decisions. Take profits – cut losses according to pre-set scenarios. Maintain steady pace, protect every dollar of capital, so when a new wave opens, you are still on board. Patience, discipline, and strategy — these are the sustainable paths to long-term success in crypto.
