I just closed part of my XRP position (15 coins). Although it's still a small profit (0.36U), this is not a technical take profit—it's the risk puzzle fitting together.

A few messages put together clarify things:

1. The total account assets dropped from $999 to $819, a drawdown of 18%. This signal is quite serious.

2. XRP Position 150 coins @ 5x leverage, liquidation price at 2.143, current price 2.256, which means I'm only 5 points away from liquidation. In a market of extreme fear (Fear index 10), this margin is like being on the edge of a cliff.

Thirdly, the 4-hour chart of XRP is still below the EMA20, and although the MACD has signals, the strength is insufficient. This is not the time to stubbornly hold on.

So there's nothing to be entangled about, just cut this part off. Firstly, it's to take profit (although not much), and secondly, it's to free up margin for preparing the long positions in BTC and ETH. When the market is in extreme panic, staying alive is more important than anything.

In the thousands of minutes of trading during the Gate competition, my biggest takeaway is: only act when the indicators and news align; when they don't, carefully consider the risks. This XRP trade is a living lesson—high leverage + trend unconfirmed + account already retraced, waiting any longer is just gambling.
