Funding fee got deducted again, $182 this time (Margin x Rate = Funding Fee) Diving into the wild coin RIVER to peek at the script—just some thoughts and reflections It’s obvious, the whales’ tactic is to keep eating up the funding fees, making it hard for you to decide whether to cut losses or not. Since the margin is thick, you know it, and the whales know it too—it won’t liquidate anytime soon. So they slowly boil the frog, draining you over a week, then casually pump the price to take profits, and finally dump it to liquidate the longs. You can’t handle a heavily manipulated market. Most people short because they think, “It’s gone up too much, it should drop,” or “This project isn’t good enough to keep rising.” It’s the same mindset as trying to catch the bottom: “It’s dropped so much, it should rebound.” That’s just human nature. But the deadliest mistake is ignoring the fact that this is a heavily manipulated project, with most of the circulating supply controlled by the whales. It’s not going to move according to your will. The problem most of us overlook: Every trend has only one top and one bottom, meaning you only get one chance to successfully catch the bottom or escape the top. Think about it—how small is that probability? Most of the time, what we think is the bottom or top is just a midpoint in the trend. So, what’s the essence of it all? —Follow the trend. Go with the flow to gain something. That’s the lesson I need to keep reminding myself of.
