Recently, I operated a market-making strategy on a new coin with stop-loss parameters set too loosely. It rebounded from a nighttime low of 0.315 all the way to the current 0.54. While the account is still in loss, upon review, my directional judgment, understanding of new coin liquidity, and long strategy were actually sound.
What's the key lesson? For altcoin longs, stop-loss discipline is absolutely mandatory—it's an iron rule. Without stop-loss, it's pure gambling with no protection during adverse price swings.
Now the question facing me is—is a 10x leverage tool really suitable for my trading framework? This needs careful consideration. While leverage amplifies gains, it simultaneously amplifies risk, especially on volatile assets like new coins.
To be honest, I appreciate projects with stronger human manipulation characteristics. The mechanics aren't complex, the movements show pattern regularity, and the overall logic is clear. In such scenarios, it's actually easier to capture opportunities, but the prerequisite is still solid risk management—stop-loss, position sizing, and leverage selection all need to be tailored accordingly.
LOL, stop loss loosened to 0.315, bounced to 0.54 and still lost money. This is what they call "my direction was right, I just lost all my money" – the true cultivation of a retail investor.
10x leverage trading new altcoins – this isn't a trading framework, this is using mind reading to bet on red or black in a casino. Wake up bro.
Bottom line, you're trying to front-run the manipulators' bottom, but the manipulators turned around and front-ran yours instead. This story plays out every day.
