After more than ten days of persistence, I learned another lesson today. Yesterday, I was eager to try trading signals, but as a result, my account instantly lost over 200 USDT. I broke out in a sweat at that moment. Fortunately, I managed to turn the situation around with timely actions later on, or I would have suffered a real loss. The key moment was when I tried to withdraw funds and discovered another heartbreaking fact — the price was still above 7 when I bought in, but when I sold, it had dropped to 6.8, and I watched the spread slip away right in front of my eyes. These past two days of experience have made me realize that trading cryptocurrencies is like dancing on the edge of a knife; a moment of carelessness can cost you dearly. Instead of messing around with all kinds of high-risk operations, it's better to honestly stick to the trades you can hold onto. Sometimes, controlling risk is more valuable than chasing profits.

Haha, the lesson from 200U is cheap; I once lost 3000 in a single trade. --- The difference in price, well, it's called opportunity cost in a nice way, and in a harsh way, it's watching your money fly away. --- The metaphor of dancing on the tip of a knife is perfect. Next time, don't think about taking positions; it's easy to get emotional. --- It's really just greed causing trouble. Only hold positions you can stick with are true positions. --- No, why realize it only before withdrawing? Setting a stop-loss early would have been enough. --- This pitfall was well avoided, saving more blood money later. --- Controlling risk is easy to say but hard to do, but it is indeed the capital to survive. --- Fell from over 7 to 6.8 in just over seven points; your reaction is quite quick. Some people lost even more terribly. --- It’s pretty good to realize this principle in just over ten days, much clearer than those who get blinded by profit.

Wow, going all-in with a single bet is really playing with fire.

This is our fate: entering early and getting cut, withdrawing quickly and losing the spread.

Bro, I just want to ask, did you really just watch the price drop from 7 to 6.8 without doing anything? --- Losing 200U in a single trade just like that, I damn near had a heart attack --- So, you still have to stick to your own rhythm and not be blinded by profit temptation --- Dancing on the edge of a knife is indeed terrifying, earning a little profit makes your heart race --- Taking timely stop-losses saved you, otherwise you'd really be bleeding --- That's why some people live well, while others are constantly cutting losses --- The price suddenly dropped, and looking back, you can't help but regret --- Controlling risk is correct, but how many can really do it? --- The lesson of 200U is considered cheap; some people lose even more terribly --- Basically, it's experience; you have to fall again and again to learn

Based on on-chain data, your slippage loss this time is approximately 3%, which actually reflects the risk management shortcomings of most retail investors.

This is the legendary leek harvest machine, paying 200U for tuition is worth it.
