$TIMI has indeed experienced quite volatile fluctuations recently. The market maker's killer move is always precisely targeted, especially for traders who pursue accurate entry points. It feels like dancing on the edge of a knife. Today, I got a bit lucky; a reverse squeeze prevented a larger loss. After this round of operations, the account has been worn down by 2.7, but I can still accept it.

The current market is indeed quite quiet, everyone is watching. Since that's the case, I'm considering whether to adopt a short strategy to hedge some risks. With the new coin launching tomorrow, instead of blindly chasing high, it might be better to try a hedging approach—using derivatives to lock in some profits, so I can feel more at ease.

I've already started positioning for a short, observing the subsequent trend while waiting to see if a better entry opportunity arises. The market is like this; honing patience and strategy is a long-term effort.

2.7's wear and tear is really nothing, I've seen many tricks from the market makers, just waiting for the backlash. Short hedging is indeed more stable, much more reliable than blindly chasing new coins. I'm also pondering this strategy. Dancing on the tip of the knife, well said... with the right mindset, the returns will come naturally. The hedging approach is good, I agree with locking in profits through derivatives. Now it's just a matter of how things develop next. Most of the time, new coin launches are still about cutting leeks; better to miss out than chase high. Once you understand this, you've made a profit. The market is most testing when it's quiet. As long as your layout is stable, just wait patiently for the opportunity. Training your patience, this point hits the mark. Most people fail because of impatience.

The dealer's technique is really brilliant, precise strikes. Playing with them is like walking on a tightrope. Losing 2.7 is considered lucky; some people were directly squeezed to death. The short hedge strategy is good, but new coins are hard to defend against, so be cautious. The reverse operation saved a life, but if this continues long-term, mindset is the biggest cost. The market is truly cold. I approve of locking in profits through hedging; it's definitely better than all-in on new coins. A 2.7 loss? Acceptable, but I'm just worried the next wave will be even fiercer.

The dealer's move is really brilliant... They can always precisely find your stop-loss point, making it feel like a slaughterhouse. A 2.7% wear and tear is indeed painful, but surviving a reverse squeeze is also a profit. Don't be so greedy next time. Short hedging sounds good, but I'm worried that tomorrow's new coins might be a trap again. Hedging can't prevent black swan events either. Are you well-positioned? Just wait and watch the show. This market is a psychological battle—whoever stays calm wins.

2.7 of wear isn't too bad, the dealer's technique is really excellent. Short hedge sounds good, but I'm just worried it might be a reverse trick. This market is freezing to death, let's see who can hold on.

Wear and tear 2.7 still dare to say it's acceptable? This mentality is really tough, I directly gg'ed Short hedge sounds good, but I'm afraid of being blown up again by a counterattack. This market just loves to play with mentality New coin listing, really should be more calm, don't chase highs anymore, brother This is the proper trading mindset, hedging to lock in profits, much better than blindly going all-in Discipline is something that naturally develops after losing money many times, haha
