Recently took a loss and want to share a painful lesson with everyone.
Some time ago, a popular coin performed well, and I was quite optimistic about the future market trend. Watching the price rise, I got a bit anxious, and in the end, I went all-in with my entire position. What happened next? The market experienced a significant correction in the past couple of days, and my account showed a substantial unrealized loss. The more painful part? I ran out of money.
Seeing the bottom approaching, I initially wanted to add to my position or buy the dip, but I found I no longer had the chips to do so. This feeling is truly regretful. This lesson is quite old, but only after experiencing it firsthand do I realize how important it is: **Never use all your bullets at once, no matter when.**
The volatility of the crypto market is inherently high; the trend may go in the direction you expect, or it may create better opportunities to buy in. Keeping enough cash reserves not only gives you confidence to add during pullbacks but also helps maintain a calmer mindset. The cost of this experience wasn't cheap, but I suppose I paid a good tuition fee.

This is what happens when you go all-in. Watching the price hit the limit down but being unable to move, that feeling is truly intense.

Full position is really a bit nerve-wracking. Now you understand, saving some bullets can really save your life.

Full margin this time, really incredible. How can you be so stubborn?

Ha, going all-in on a full position is really a must-know lesson for beginners, a lesson learned the hard way.
Your move is just like a gambler going all-in; you see the bottom coming but can only watch in frustration, and that feeling is truly uncomfortable. The key is that you have to wait several months to break even, which is too torturous.
Honestly, everyone understands the principle of saving bullets, but when the market takes off, your mind just stops working. FOMO is too powerful and destructive.
But since you've paid the tuition, just take it as a lesson learned; it's cheaper than losing more money.

Full liquidation is really the number one killer in the crypto market. Watching the rebound opportunity but having no bullets—that feeling is absolutely intense.

I've also been all-in before, and it was truly a painful lesson.
