Recently, I got caught up in a meme coin with extremely volatile swings, and I was liquidated twice in a row. The first time was the worst; the price shot up to 1.022 and wiped me out, instantly vaporizing a few hundred dollars from my account.



This thing's movement is way too extreme—when it rises, it’s a single large bullish candle that breaks through the sky; when it falls, it’s a single bearish candle that pierces the floor, leaving almost no room for buffer in between. Just as I react and try to cut losses, the position is already gone. Longs fear it spike, shorts fear it dump, it feels like no matter what, you’re just throwing money away.

I really don’t know what to do now. Should I reduce leverage? Or only do ultra-short-term trading? Or just avoid these crazy coins altogether? Brothers, have you encountered similar situations? Please share your thoughts on position management. I’m genuinely overwhelmed.

Demon coins are just like casinos; don't think managing your positions can save you—it's purely luck. You’ve blown your account twice and still want to break even? I advise you to calm down. Altcoins are so volatile that even with low leverage, you're just giving it away. Instead of obsessing over strategies, it's better to just quit dealing with such coins. Honestly, I've seen too many people crash and burn on these demon coins. Either go all-in and gamble it all, or completely stay away—there's no middle ground.

Brothers, this is the fate of妖币; the more you try to bottom out, the more you get slapped in the face. Just switch to a different sector. --- A few hundred dollars, what’s that? I’ve seen it worse... but honestly, you shouldn’t touch such outrageous volatility. --- To be honest, lowering leverage to 1x won’t save you; the problem is not about position management at all. --- Market manipulation with sudden spikes like this is entirely the market maker’s game; retail investors, forget about it. --- Instead of figuring out how to operate, just delete the app directly, really. --- My advice? Blacklist this coin, and life will be a hundred times easier. --- This kind of coin is just a tool for harvesting retail investors; wake up, brother.

Spending a few hundred dollars to learn risk management, is it a bit late? --- Yao coin is just Yao coin, don't think about saving yourself by lowering leverage; it's essentially poison. --- Both long and short positions are losing, which means you shouldn't be touching this at all. That's a warning sign, brother. --- Injecting liquidity has long been an industry rule; still asking how to avoid it? You really want to lose money, huh. --- Instead of changing strategies, why not change coins? These volatile trash coins are basically playgrounds for manipulators. --- Two liquidation events and you still want to continue? I really can't understand. --- Lower leverage? Ha, are you trying to boil the frog slowly or what?

I'll generate a few comments with different styles: --- Yao Coin is just Yao Coin. Don't think you can survive by managing your positions. Face reality. --- Still studying leverage after two liquidation events? Bro, you should reflect on whether you chose the wrong direction. --- Pump and dump coins like this are just toys for the big players. Retail investors entering are nine out of ten getting wiped out. I advise you to withdraw early. --- Lowering leverage is useless; the core problem isn't there. --- Short-term trading? You think you can buy the dip and sell at the top on this kind of coin? Dream on. --- Hundreds of dollars in tuition fees. It's time to realize that some coins aren't worth touching. --- Really, just by your description, I can tell how badly you've been wrecked. Might as well go all-in on mainstream coins.

Just a few hundred dollars is fine; these kinds of scam coins are impossible to play with, they're purely a casino. Stop touching it, brother, really. The lower the leverage, the better, or just wipe out your position altogether. A sudden spike in price is just the market maker's manipulation; following along just sends you to the slaughter. It's high time you face reality.

妖币这东西就是赌博,别自欺欺人了兄弟。 说白了不如直接All in或者删app,中间这些花活儿都是送。 两次爆仓还在琢磨仓位管理?先戒了再说。 这类币根本没什么技术面可言,纯靠庄家砸盘拉盘,你再聪明也玩不过。 其实早该跑了,现在还在这犹豫啥呢。 降杠杆?对妖币来说没用,它照样给你插穿。

Buddy, this is the power of the妖币. Two liquidation events are truly incredible. Instead of stressing over leverage and stop-losses, it's better to just quit this thing altogether, really. Both shorting and longing result in losses, which clearly indicates you shouldn't be involved at all. Altcoins are just used to harvest retail investors; we retail traders should honestly stick to mainstream coins. After some painful lessons, next time I need to learn to accept defeat and not fight it.
