This wave from pippin directly got me liquidated for about 800 to 900 U. After losing everything, I just stared at the market data and found something interesting - the market maker was selling to itself and buying from itself to pump the market.

It’s impossible not to pump, as there’s simply no one to take the market data; I can only grit my teeth and push it up, forcing the shorts to get liquidated. Once I understood the strategy, I started to operate in the opposite direction, entering long positions on every dip. Although I fell off a few times in between, I added to my longs each time. After this repeated operation, I finally managed to recover some losses.
