Seeing someone place a bet on a coin in the signal group, and as a result, they lost 40 points in just one day, eventually choosing to cut their losses and exit completely. Honestly, this move was a bit confusing to watch — closing the position so quickly after such a short holding time, and losing so much, feels a bit rushed?

I can't understand why they would play like this. Did the market suddenly reverse, or was the stop-loss set too tight? Or was it just a quick test that went wrong?

Does anyone know the situation? What's the logic behind such quick stop-loss trading? Is it a proper risk management approach, or is it just a matter of not having the right mindset? Please enlighten me.

Haha, 40 points lost in a day, probably jumped in without doing proper research this time. Setting stop-loss too tight is really a rookie mistake. With such big market fluctuations, playing like that is basically suicide. Most issues are related to mentality; rushing to test the waters instead ends up creating a trap.

Ah... Clearing all positions with 40 points in a day, my mentality is really exploding.

Losing 40 points in a day, this guy must be really nervous. He probably ran without setting a proper stop-loss. --- This move of cutting losses and clearing out... honestly, I don't understand the logic behind it. With such a big loss, it's better to hold on and see. --- Quick in and out trading style indeed tends to explode. The key is still the mindset issue. --- The problem isn't with the stop-loss setting; it's that you jumped in without understanding what you're doing. --- I've seen this kind of situation many times. Usually, it's because there's no trading plan, just blindly guessing based on feelings. --- Signal calling itself is dangerous. Following and closing positions so quickly—it's no wonder you get wrecked. --- How to put it, people who lose forty points often panic before waiting for a rebound. --- Real risk management isn't like this; this is called blind stop-loss. --- Losing this much in a day, either your entry price was wrong, or you didn't do your homework at all.

ngl, 40 points in a day then panic dump? that's not risk management, that's just... leverage ptsd in real time lol. been there, got the scars to prove it. sometimes the tightest stop losses are just emotional band-aids, not actual strategy fr

This guy's mentality completely collapsed. 40 points lost in a day—this is the classic script of chasing highs and getting cut. Calling signals and following the trend always end up like this.

Basically, it's a gambler's mentality; following calls blindly is itself a trap. You can't withstand 40 points in a day, either because of over-leveraging or because the mindset has truly collapsed. This kind of quick in-and-out trading, rather than being risk management, is more like gambling. True risk management would have long avoided following calls to trade.

Clearing all positions with 40 points in a day is really harsh; this guy's mentality is truly broken. Stop-loss should be set, but rushing to cut losses like this feels off; maybe he jumped in without thinking it through. Signal groups are already a trap, and following the crowd makes it even more painful. This is a real-life cautionary tale.
