I wonder if everyone has also encountered this problem recently—holding a position that keeps falling, initially wanting to hedge to cut losses, but then the hedging position also blows up. It’s really frustrating in such times, not knowing whether to stubbornly hold on or just admit defeat and exit.

It feels like this market is especially unpredictable this time, and even hedging can't provide protection. Sometimes the market is just like that; you think you've done thorough risk management, but a turn in the market can wipe everything out. At this point, there are only two options: either grit your teeth and continue holding, betting on a market rebound; or cut your losses to preserve your capital and look for the next opportunity.

Hedging also blew up, this is outrageous, it feels like the market simply doesn't give people a way out To cut or not to cut, really suffering from choice paralysis... I'm most afraid of holding on through this, one misstep and all the principal is gone A rebound is nowhere in sight, selling at a loss is painful, being stuck in the middle is the most tormenting

Hedging also blows up? Can't really laugh about it... This is the daily life of crypto. Risk management is a joke; the market just loves to teach you a lesson.

Hedging also blew up, this is awkward... It feels like the market has just been here to harvest recently, and no operation works.

nah this is just poor hedge construction tbh... if both legs liquidate simultaneously you never actually had asymmetric returns in the first place. should've analyzed the correlation surface better before entry. most traders just slap on a hedge without understanding the underlying state transitions that trigger cascade failures. classic mistake.

Hedging also blows up? That means this round is truly a systemic risk, not just a technical issue. I have also experienced this recently, and I feel that risk management is just a decoration in the face of extreme market conditions. Whether to cut losses or hold on stubbornly depends on whether your mentality can withstand it. I prefer to cut losses to preserve the principal; when the next bull market arrives, having ample ammunition is the real win.

Hedging also blew up, truly incredible. Risk management is just a decoration in the face of extreme market conditions, haha. Cutting losses or holding on tight, honestly it's just a gamble on luck. I’ve learned to be smarter anyway. This time, it taught me a thorough lesson. Next time I see any "perfect hedging strategy," I’ll just treat it as a joke.

Hedging also blows up? That's just ridiculous. The risk management strategies are really paper tigers in the face of this market trend.
