Using high leverage to catch the bottom on the left side requires extreme precision—it's like walking a tightrope. If it's spot trading, holding after a big drop is fine, but how do you hold with contracts? Take this person as an example: if they didn’t stop the loss, they would’ve been liquidated in the end, because the price dropped as low as 970. By stopping the loss, they at least kept some seed money. The original poster was also forced to stop the loss to preserve their seed money. Lately, the most tragic cases aren’t just about losing money, but those with large positions getting wiped out right before the dawn—if they had held on, they would’ve broken even.
