My friend has recently been heavily trapped, facing a loss of 10,000U. Actually, being trapped is not a dead end; the key is how to play your cards.

**First move: Quick stop-loss**
Cut off those high-risk altcoins first, and keep 30% cash on hand. Don't foolishly hold a full position and endure, as this will only deepen the trap.

**Second move: Mainstream coin rebound arbitrage**
If you're trapped in mainstream coins with not much loss (within 10%), add to your position in stages at support levels. When the price rebounds to resistance levels, reduce your position accordingly. Use T+0 trading to gradually dilute the cost. This move tests patience and execution.

**Third move: Heavy position or contract self-rescue**
When trapped the deepest, first cut 30% of your position to stay alive. If it breaks below a key support, cut it without hesitation—don't hold onto illusions. The remaining funds should be shifted to stablecoin arbitrage products; recovering steadily is the way to go.

The core principle is one—dividing positions and stop-loss is an iron law. Don't be greedy or panicked; proceed step by step.

10,000U loss, this really requires a calm approach. Don't let emotions take over. --- Going all-in and holding on tightly to this strategy is really common; I've seen too many people get cut to the bottom without even their pants. --- Making T trades and averaging costs sounds simple, but executing it is truly a torment and tests your mentality, brother. --- The key support levels have been broken, and you're still waiting for a rebound? At this point, you should decisively cut losses. Don't deceive yourself. --- Saying that position splitting and stop-loss are ironclad rules is correct, but how many can truly do it? Greed is the culprit. --- Arbitrage with stablecoins is indeed a safe route, but the returns are just so-so. It depends on your choices. --- Cutting the altcoins is fine, but some people see big gains after cutting, which messes with their mentality. --- Keeping 30% cash reserves depends on the market conditions. Rigidly sticking to it can easily lead to missing opportunities. --- Why did your friend get so badly trapped this time? Was it a contract liquidation or did they buy trash coins? --- Reducing positions during a rebound is an old trick. The problem is, you need to be sure that it's a rebound, not a backlash.

I think this suggestion is well-written, but it sounds too good to be true. The reality is that most people simply can't do it, especially when they see their accounts shrinking... The promised phased replenishment, but in the end, when the price drops, they go all-in to buy the dip. Greed is ingrained in the DNA of crypto enthusiasts.

That's right, stop-loss is really a skill. But I see that most people just can't do it—they expect a rebound after one set, then want to double their gains on the rebound, and finally end up going to zero.

10000U says to cut, this is a real man. My friend was still doing T there repeatedly, but the result was getting deeper and deeper, and now he has become a matryoshka doll.

That's right, cutting into shanzhai projects is really a lifesaver. I once held on stubbornly and suffered a huge loss. Actually, most people are just greedy. Admitting defeat earlier might help them survive longer. 10,000U is nothing; some people lose all their contracts in one go, but this guy still has a chance. Making T-position and spreading costs sounds simple, but executing it is really torturous and requires iron will. Instead of fantasizing about a rebound, it's better to stay alive first. Stablecoin yields are also pretty good. I've seen too many cases of holding a full position and stubbornly sticking to it; in the end, it's always a tragedy.

It's the story of 10,000U again, and I'm tired of listening to it. It's easy to say, but when it's time to cut, it's all kinds of fantasies, and I have too many friends like this around me.
