$ETH Contract market dual-position opening with stop-loss and oscillation range trading—once the price exceeds the large oscillation range and enters a one-sided trend, it’s essentially seeking death. This approach is similar to grid trading; do you really not understand that?
The core logic of grid trading is to buy low and sell high within an oscillation range, accumulating profits through multiple small gains. However, if the market breaks out of the oscillation range and develops a one-sided trend, dual-position opening and grid trading face significant risks.
When the price breaks upward, the grid strategy will keep selling, missing out on the upward trend; when the price breaks downward, it will keep buying, leading to increasing unrealized losses. This "breakout equals death" characteristic is a major flaw of dual-position opening and grid trading, requiring strict stop-loss mechanisms and position management to control risk.
Dual-position opening is only suitable within a certain period of sideways oscillation. Once the range is broken or the price falls below it, your dual-position opening becomes an infinite trap, locking you in endlessly.
The essence of dual-position opening (grid trading) is to buy low and sell high within a preset oscillation range, accumulating profits through multiple small gains. But once the market develops a one-sided trend, this strategy will encounter difficulties:
Upward breakout: The strategy will keep selling to take profits, missing out on large trend gains; meanwhile, short positions are trapped, requiring continuous margin replenishment.
Downward breakout: The strategy will keep buying the dip, causing unrealized losses to grow, with long positions deeply trapped, also requiring additional margin.
Most critically: after the price breaks the range, the strategy will hold both losing long and short positions simultaneously, forming a "locked position" state. Although it appears that unrealized losses are locked in, in reality:
• It requires continuous double margin payments
• It occupies large amounts of capital that cannot be used
• If the price continues to trend in one direction, losses will keep expanding
• Unlocking requires precise judgment of trend reversal points, which is extremely difficult
This "breakout equals death" characteristic determines that dual-position opening is only suitable in clear sideways markets, and must be combined with strict stop-loss mechanisms and trend judgment skills. For beginners, it’s essential to fully understand this risk to avoid significant losses during trending markets. #我的2026第一条帖
