Don't be fooled by weekend market movements! The ones truly losing money are those who get itchy hands at this time
Sideways trading most easily creates the illusion: as if it will explode in the next second. So they open trades frequently, and in the end, the fees are higher than the profits.
My defensive position setting logic is very simple: look at the structure, not emotions. As long as the range isn't broken, don't easily change the strategy. Once it breaks, execute immediately, without hesitation. Because the biggest risk in sideways markets isn't losing money, but repeatedly wearing down confidence.
A small trick to avoid being caught by sudden spikes? I set my stop-loss outside the "extreme positions." That is, I prefer to give a little more space rather than get stuck in a position everyone can see. Because the main players love to target "consensus stop-losses."
If the market continues sideways, I choose "non-trading profits": review, learn, and even test strategies on a demo account. These may seem boring, but long-term gains far outweigh frequent trading.
In one sentence: the real enemy on weekends isn't the market, but your hand. #加密市场行情震荡
