Looking at the recent market trends, I want to share some spot trading ideas with everyone.

Regarding Litecoin(LTC), from a spot trading perspective, you can consider positioning at the current level. If the market doesn't show a good trend later, set a 15% defensive retracement level so that even if you hit a snag, you can withstand it.

Chain(LINK) has been gaining quite a bit of attention recently, and the spot trading approach applies here as well. After entering the market, don't be too greedy; leave yourself a 13% defensive buffer. This is a more rational risk management practice.

The situation with ADA is similar, following the basic logic of spot trading—set a defensive level, control the retracement expectations, and you can maintain a calmer mindset.

Trading is like this: plan for the maximum retracement you can handle, and act when the opportunity arises. When the market moves, you won't be caught off guard.

LTC2,88%

ADA9,14%

It's that same retracement theory again, 13%, 15%, sounds very professional but in reality, when the market crashes, everything gets chaotic. Where are the supposed support levels? How many can really stick to their plan? Most are just holding on after getting caught. However, LTC this wave is indeed worth paying attention to. It all depends on whether it can hold this level.

This defensive position is set quite meticulously, but can LTC really rise? It feels like it's absorbing funds again recently. A 13% retracement space is a bit tight; I would start at 30% out, anyway, I need to stay calm. Honestly, most people simply can't control the retracement; no matter how good the words are, it's useless. Are you still following ADA? I’ve stopped chasing it. LINK, on the other hand, might be worth a try. When it comes to setting a defensive position, the key is execution. Most people just don't follow the plan. You need to carefully consider the courage to enter now; the market might not come. Uh, a 15% defensive position feels like a moderate approach; a more aggressive stance might yield better returns. Hmm, this idea isn't bad; the key is not to change the plan. The more you change, the more you lose. I still think entering now is a bit early; let's wait and see.

Haha, it's the same old stop-loss strategy. Easier to say than to do. Going all-in on LTC, LINK, ADA? That's a bit greedy. A 15% defensive position sounds good, but the real question is, can you really hold when it drops to 14%? The biggest fear with spot trading is a mental breakdown. No matter how well you plan, it's all for nothing.

15% defensive position? Bro, your mindset is amazing. I now set a 20% stop-loss and just run. Wait, is LTC really going to move? I haven't been paying attention lately. I've been burned twice by that LINK thing, I really dare not touch it this time haha. That's right, no plan is just gambling. I used to lose like that before. I'm also watching ADA, but it feels a bit high right now. This wave of market seems to be coming, finally able to turn things around? Your logic sounds solid, just worried that during execution you might lose control. Is 13% defense really enough? Feels like the risk is still a bit high. Spot trading is great because you don't need to watch the charts and can sleep peacefully. It should have been played like this half a year ago, there are no more big holes now.

It's the old routine of setting defensive positions again. Where do these numbers 13% and 15% come from? Are you just guessing? --- LTC, should I buy now? I think it's risky... --- Speaking casually, but when it comes to actually stepping into a trap, I can't even execute stop-loss. Don't ask me how I know. --- It's just about controlling the drawdown, sounds reasonable, but it's really tough to do. --- Still need to set defensive positions for spot trading? Isn't that just fearing greed? Just go all-in, how satisfying that would be. --- I've been watching LINK for a long time. I won't touch it at this level; I feel like it's going to drop further. --- Every time, they say to be rational and manage risks, but when the market is crazy, all that goes out the window. --- When did ADA become so worth paying attention to? --- Can't keep a calm mindset, buddy. That's the real tough problem.

Haha, even with stop-loss levels set, you still need to keep a steady mindset. I almost wrote the drawdown on my forehead. This wave of LTC feels like a good move, but I’ve been greedy with LINK a few times and learned my lesson. As for ADA, I think I’m still observing, no rush. Wait, can this set of logic be applied to all coins? Seems fine to me.
