I got liquidated today, the market maker's operation this time was really ruthless. I lost 4000 dollars on this coin, which is equivalent to my half a year’s salary just gone like that.
Where does the biggest problem lie? Reluctance to cut losses. Clearly, a stop-loss was set just a little above the liquidation price, yet I still watched it trigger helplessly. This lesson is too profound.
Brothers, it's really time to cut losses. I still have a few other positions, which means I've preserved some capital. Next, I can only take it slow and gradually earn back the losses bit by bit.
Stay motivated and keep going!

Setting a stop loss doesn't help, it's the mindset that truly collapses.
Here it comes again, everyone said it would be different next time, yet it's still the same.
4000 dollars... how long will it take to recover?

Stop loss is easy to talk about, but when it comes to the critical moment, it's hard to pull the trigger.

In plain terms, it's just greed, and that's the most fatal thing.
Having a stop loss card there is like not having one at all; you can't get past the psychological barrier.
4000 dollars, brother, how long will it take to recoup the investment?
Just accept it; the market tuition fee must be paid, and next time be tougher.
Actually, I should have run a long time ago, but I had to wait until I got liquidated to realize.
Keep doing nothing, just calm down for now.
This is the fate of retail investors, always realizing things too late.

nah the real issue isn't liquidation mechanics, it's that you're not thinking in terms of portfolio-level risk governance... you basically failed your own protocol by not enforcing your stop-loss rules. that's a slashing event on yourself fr

It's easy to talk about stop loss, but it's really hard to put it into practice... I've experienced it too, just couldn't make that decision.
Last year was the same, I watched the coin price fall below the stop loss line and was still fantasizing about a rebound, and in the end, I lost even more. Now I've learned my lesson, I treat the stop loss as if it doesn't exist, and when it’s triggered, I can actually sleep well.
Learning this lesson for 4000 dollars isn't too bad, some people pay a higher price to understand this principle.

Stop loss is easy to say, but when it comes to the critical moment, it's hard to take action. I understand that feeling.
The mindset is the most important; often when you're greedy, you end up getting played people for suckers.

Being soft-hearted when it comes to stop loss is asking for trouble; I've lost this way before, but I've learned my lesson now.
4000 dollars, damn it, how long will it take to earn that back?
Even with a stop loss set, it still gets breached? This market maker really isn't human.
That said, preserving the principal is already a win; some people have gotten liquidated and you wouldn't even know.
Next time, remember the lesson: cut losses when you need to; dragging out losses is not a solution.

The thing about stop loss is that it's easy to talk about but really hard to do. I understand the feeling of watching the order drop.
