Lately, watching memes has become lively again, and as the narrative unfolds, everyone feels they "understand" it. But what I care more about now is: how to practice stop-loss, rather than fantasizing about beating the market... To put it simply, clearly define how much I'm willing to lose first, rather than relying on how high it might rise.

I usually set my exit conditions before placing an order: either based on a structural breakdown (for example, if the previous low / key zone is lost), or based on time stop-loss (if it takes too long and I still haven't exited, I assume I misunderstood the narrative). In execution, I even split into two trades—small first, then add after confirmation—so I don't go all-in out of impulse.

There's also a small mental switch: when the group starts sharing screenshots about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, or de-pegging rumors, I automatically think "emotions are amplifying." At such times, I prefer not to hold positions, willing to earn less rather than let stop-loss become just decoration. Anyway, I'm not here to prove I'm right; I'm here to survive longer.
