Seeing someone holding their position on DUSK with perseverance is actually quite admirable. When facing losses, it takes a strong mental fortitude to endure. Making an investment decision is like becoming a warrior—you either grit your teeth and hold on or bravely admit defeat, neither is easy.
DUSK indeed has resilience; it hasn't completely collapsed during volatile market conditions, indicating that its fundamentals are still intact. But here’s the problem—rationality and persistence are often at odds. The courage to hold can bring ecstatic rebounds, but it can also amplify despair during deep drawdowns.
I’ve also considered shorting DUSK long-term, but when I really think calmly, blindly resisting positions and blindly shorting are essentially the same—they’re both bets. Instead of praying for a miracle, it’s better to set a stop-loss in advance. This isn’t about being cowardly; it’s about being responsible for your own account.
In trading, courage is precious, but rationality is even more valuable.

That's right, anti-position and shorting are essentially gambling. I'm now setting stop-losses and sleeping peacefully, much less exhausting than watching the market all day.

Data shows DUSK fluctuating near its historical lows, but... choosing deep positions and stop-loss lines ultimately remains a game of probability. Let's wait and see, and act once a pattern is observed.

Stop-loss is easier to talk about than to do. When the account is in the red, everyone wants to take a gamble. I've been there myself.
Honestly, DUSK didn't completely collapse this time, which at least shows that some people still believe. But confidence and gambling are separated by just a hair's breadth. What I fear most now is that feeling of obsession turning into an obsession.
Rationality is truly precious, especially when the account is bleeding.
Holding on with gritted teeth or admitting defeat in time—whichever you choose, it’s a painful decision.

The stop-loss line is really a lifesaver. If I hadn't decisively cut losses a few times, I would have been liquidated long ago.

Basically, you still need to set stop-losses; otherwise, you'll eventually get trapped and wiped out. No matter how resilient DUSK is, it can't save someone who goes all-in.
