#比特币对比代币化黄金 made an exception yesterday and opened a long ETH position, entered at 3037, stop loss set at 3000. Just checked—it was stopped out right away.

On the BTC side, had two orders at the same time: the long at 80299 was supposed to have a 2000-point stop loss, but due to a misclick, it was set to 1000 points, so that one got stopped out too. The other long entered at 80099 was barely closed at breakeven at 88999, so still a small loss overall.

Several consecutive trades failed to hold, really need to review the stop loss strategy. This market pullback is pretty brutal, it’s not easy to go long right now.

BTC-1.11%

ETH-0.01%

That typo about stopping loss at 1,000 points was really something, haha, absolutely wild.

I've made mistakes with stop-loss orders myself. Back in 2018, I set up a take-profit/stop-loss order the wrong way and ended up sleepwalking into losses worth two months' salary. You're actually lucky this time. A string of liquidations isn't a stop-loss problem—it's a mindset issue. There have been clear signals about this market correction for a while now; greed is the real killer. I suggest you take a break for a few days and stop trading for now. A fat-fingered mistake at 1,000 points versus 2,000 points—the difference is simply "staying calm." Write a stop-loss SOP and stick it on your desk; next time you'll know what to do. Getting stopped out might mean your order levels are set too shallow. When liquidity is low, it's easy to get hit. Try setting your orders a bit deeper next time. Long positions are definitely hard to hold, but the problem isn't with being long—it's that you haven't figured out this market's rhythm yet. Everyone learns this way.

Accidentally set the stop loss at 1000 points due to a slip-up, that’s how impatient I was. Continuous liquidations, looks like I need to calm down for a few days. The market pullback is no joke, the bulls really took a hit this time. I need to completely rethink my stop loss strategy, or else the more I try to average down, the more I lose. Managed to exit BTC at break even, which was lucky, but ETH got stopped out completely—this feels really tough.

Accidental operations are really something else—at critical moments, make sure not to touch the exchange if your hands are shaking.

A typo when setting a stop loss is just brutal. This is exactly why I hate the trading interface—one slip and it's GG.

Typos are really a killer here—a 1000-point stop loss instantly turns into a liquidation machine. Stops get swept all at once; this market is truly ruthless. No one is making much from this BTC pullback; the bulls are in total disarray. It's time to rethink stop loss settings, otherwise every trade is just working for the market. This is why people say you shouldn't open positions too frequently—being too quick can easily lead to losses.
