Welcome back! We’ve mastered capital allocation and stop-losses. Now, let’s learn the most satisfying yet difficult skill: Taking Profit (TP). Remember: "Profits on the screen are just numbers; profits in your wallet are real life."
1. Why is Taking Profit so hard?
If cutting losses is hard, taking profit is ten times harder. Why? One word: GREED. When the price pumps, your brain starts calculating the price of a Lamborghini and thinks: "It’s going higher! If I sell now, I’ll miss out!". Then... boom! The market reverses, and your "moon bag" turns into a "sad bag."

2. The Funny Side: "The Fisherman’s Dilemma"
Imagine you’re out fishing (opening a trade). You hook a massive shark (50% Profit).
• The Smart Trader: Pulls the shark into the boat and heads home for a feast. Good night, sweet dreams.
• The Greedy Trader: Sees the shark but thinks, "There must be a Megalodon down there!". You keep the shark in the water as bait, hoping for more. The result? The shark snaps the line, pulls you into the ocean, and you lose everything—including your dignity.

3. Strategies for "Sleep-Well" Profits:
• Scale Out (Reverse DCA): Never sell everything at once. Sell 30% at Target 1, another 30% at Target 2, and let the rest "ride" with a safety net.
• Trailing Stop-loss: Once you’re in profit, move your Stop-loss to your entry point or even higher. This way, even if the market "pulls a U-turn," you still exit with a win.
• Don't Aim for the Peak: Nobody sells exactly at the top unless they’re a time traveler. Selling when you’re happy with the gains is the ultimate win.

Final Tip: Nobody ever went broke taking profits. You might feel a bit salty if the price keeps pumping after you sell, but it’s much better to have "FOMO" than a "Margin Call"!

Welcome back, legends! After learning how to manage your capital in Part 1, today we tackle a topic that most traders hate, but absolutely need: The Stop-loss (SL).
1. What is Stop-loss (SL) anyway?
Realistically, an SL is your "last pair of underwear" that prevents you from running naked out of the market. Many traders avoid SLs because they fear "Stop-hunting" (when the price hits your SL and then moons). But listen: It’s much better to get stopped out and live to trade another day than to have no SL and watch your portfolio vanish.

2. The Funny Side: "The Night at the Bar"
Imagine you’re going out for drinks with friends (this is like opening a trade). Before you walk in, you tell yourself: "I’m only taking $50 in cash. Once it's gone, I'm heading home" (that’s your $50 Stop-loss).
• If you stay disciplined: Once the $50 is spent, you take an Uber home. You have a slight headache and a lighter wallet, but you still have money for breakfast and can go to work tomorrow.
• If you "forget" your SL: You start swiping your credit card, buying rounds for everyone. You wake up the next morning in a bush, phone missing, and deeply in debt. That is exactly what "bag-holding" without a Stop-loss feels like!

3. SL Rules for the "Survivor" Mindset
• Don’t set it too tight: If it's too close to the entry, random "market noise" or price wicks will kick you out of a winning trade.
• Don’t set it too wide: If your SL is too far, the loss will be too painful to recover from.
• The Sweet Spot: Place it slightly below key support levels or use a Risk:Reward ratio of at least 1:2 (Risking $1 to make $2).

Final Tip: It’s better to lose a finger than an entire arm. Learn to embrace your Stop-loss!

THE "ANTI-REKT" SERIES (PART 1)
Hello fellow degens! We’ve covered the basics, but let’s be real: knowing technical analysis without knowing Capital Management is like driving an F1 car without brakes. You might go fast, but you’re definitely going to crash.
Today, let’s talk about "Money Management"—the stuff experts keep preaching about, but most beginners ignore until their account hits zero.
1. What is Capital Management?
Simply put, capital management is the art of "not putting all your eggs in one basket" and "never going All-in," no matter how "moon-bound" a coin looks.
In the world of Crypto, it’s how you distribute your funds so that: If you win, you feast; if you lose, you still have enough gas in the tank to go again without having to sell your kidney.

2. Why do you need it? (The Reality Check)
Most newbies enter the market thinking: "I have a small bag, I need to All-in with 100x leverage to get rich quick."
The result?
• Market goes up: You’re a "Trading God," a "Green Candle Warrior."
• Market dips 5%: You’re officially "Liquidated," "Rekt," and suddenly looking for a job at McDonald's.
Capital Management exists to protect you from those "wicky" candles that wipe out accounts in a split second.

3. A Simple Example: "The Dating Strategy"
Imagine you have $5,000 (this is your total capital). You decide to go out and "date" some Crypto coins.
• The "All-in Boy" Strategy: You spend all $5,000 on a massive diamond ring to propose to a girl named $PEPE on the very first date.
• The Result: If $PEPE says yes, you’re the king. But if $PEPE dumps you (market crash), you’ve lost all $5,000. You don't even have money left to buy a coffee for another girl. You're out of the game.
• The "Smart Trader" Strategy: You split your $5,000 into smaller portions.
• You spend $500 on a nice dinner with $BTC (The reliable "Wife" coin).
• You spend $300 on a movie with $ETH .
• You set aside $100 for a "lottery ticket" date with a risky Meme coin.
• The Result: If the Meme coin ghosts you, you still have $4,900 left to find your true love. You’re still chilling!

4. Golden Rules to Keep Your Wallet Breathing
1. The 1-2% Rule: Never risk more than 1-2% of your total account on a single trade. (If you have $1,000, a losing trade should only cost you $10-$20).
2. The 3-Part Split:
• Long-term Hold: 50-70% (Buy and forget it exists).
• Short-term Trade: 20-30% (Ride the waves for some adrenaline).
• Cash (USDT): 10-20% (Always have "dry powder" to buy the dip when everyone else is screaming).
3. Ditch the "High Leverage" Addiction: Don't let greed turn you into "liquidity" for the exchanges.

Final Thoughts
Capital management won’t make you a millionaire overnight, but it guarantees you won’t get kicked out of the game. Remember: In this market, the last person standing is the real winner.

A Neutral Grid Bot doesn’t die suddenly, it gets sick first — quietly. The problem is:
Most traders notice it only when it’s too late.

Here are the earliest warning signs your Neutral Bot is approaching its end.
1️⃣ Price Sticks to One Edge for Too Long
• Price hugs the upper or lower boundary
• No return to the center
• Lasts 2–3 days or more

Meaning:
• The bot is becoming position-heavy
• Unpaired PnL starts expanding
Neutral bots need movement, not one-sided pressure.

2️⃣ Daily Grid Profit Drops Sharply
You may notice:
• Used to earn: +$3/day
• Then: +$2
• Then: +$1
• Eventually: barely anything
Reason:
• Price no longer sweeps grids efficiently
• Volatility becomes inefficient or skewed
The bot is alive, but no longer productive.

3️⃣ Unpaired PnL Grows Faster Than Grid Profit
This is the most dangerous signal.
• Grid profit grows slowly
• Unpaired PnL accelerates:
• –5%
• –8%
• –12% quickly

👉 When:

Loss grows faster than grid income

⛔ The bot is losing the battle.

4️⃣ Volatility Increases, but Profit Doesn’t
This confuses many traders.
• Long candles
• Deep wicks
• Big price swings
Yet:
• Grid profit stagnates or drops
This usually means:
• Market is shifting from range to trend
• Neutral bot is no longer suitable

5️⃣ You Start Wanting to “Save the Bot”
This psychological sign is deadly:
• “Maybe I should add more margin”
• “Price will come back to the center”
• “I shouldn’t withdraw too much”
At this moment:
• Strategy is being replaced by emotion
Neutral bots die fastest when saved emotionally.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU SEE 2–3 SIGNS?

✔️ Lower expectations
✔️ Keep withdrawing while reasonable
✔️ Prepare an exit plan
✔️ Never add capital just to delay death

FINAL THOUGHT
A Neutral Bot doesn’t need saving, it needs timely profit withdrawal. A bot dying at the right moment is not failure.
It’s mission accomplished.

If you’re new to crypto, chances are you’ve heard things like:
“Neutral bots make steady profit.”
“Perfect for sideways markets.”
“No need to choose Long or Short.”

Sounds great, right?

So you launch a bot…
The first few days: profit.
A couple of weeks later: still withdrawing money.
But then you look at Total PnL… and it’s red 🤯

👉 That’s when the real question hits:
“So what is a Neutral Grid Bot actually for?”

This article is the honest, practical answer.

1️⃣ What a Neutral Grid Bot REALLY is?

A Neutral Grid Bot does not predict direction. It doesn’t care whether price goes up or down.
👉 It does one thing only:
It sells market volatility.
Price goes up → it sells
Price goes down → it buys
Price moves back and forth → the bot collects small profits called grid profit
A Neutral Bot eats volatility, not trends.

2️⃣ Why can you withdraw money even when Total PnL is negative?
This is where 90% of beginners get confused.
Example:
• Bot capital: $200
• Grid profit generated: $40
• Total PnL: –$10
• Already withdrawn: $8
👉 What’s happening:
• The bot is holding losing positions
• But every price swing still closes profitable grids
💡 Grid profit is real, realized money
💡 Total PnL is unrealized position status
That’s why:
• You can keep withdrawing
• Even while the screen stays red

3️⃣ “So if I keep withdrawing, will I make money?”
YES — but only if you understand the game.
A Neutral Grid Bot is not designed for:
“Wait until Total PnL turns green, then close the bot.”
It is designed for:
• Generating cash flow
• And eventually dying
The correct strategy isn’t to keep the bot alive forever, but to withdraw enough before it dies.

4️⃣ The life cycle of a Neutral Grid Bot
Phase 1 – Honeymoon
• Clean sideways movement
• Grid profit grows steadily
• Withdrawing feels great
Phase 2 – Off-center
• Price doesn’t return to the middle
• Total PnL slowly turns negative
• But grid profit continues
Phase 3 – Market changes personality
One of two things happens:
• Strong one-way trend
• Abnormally high volatility
👉 The bot dies or must be stopped
This is not a mistake — it’s the bot’s nature.

5️⃣ So… does a Neutral Grid Bot make money?

YES — if you use it correctly
NO — if you treat it like manual trading

A Neutral Bot does NOT:

Guarantee permanent safety
Offer unlimited upside
Work well with all-in capital

A Neutral Bot DOES:

Generate steady cash flow in sideways markets
Reduce stress (no direction guessing)
Act as a “volatility fee collector”

6️⃣ A real-life example
You run:
• 1 bot with $1,000
• Average grid profit: $1.5/day
After 30 days:
• Total grid profit: ~$45
• Withdrawn gradually: $30–40
On day 35:
• Market trends hard
• Bot goes deep red, forced to stop
• Capital loss: $300
Final result:
• Bot died
• Real money already withdrawn
• That was the goal from the start

7️⃣ One sentence every beginner must remember

A Neutral Grid Bot is not a “get rich” machine.
It sells volatility to the market and sooner or later, the market collects the bill.

The real question is:
👉 How much did you withdraw before that happened?
If you’re running a Neutral Bot, ask yourself:
“If the bot dies tomorrow, have I already taken profit?”
If the answer is Yes: congratulations, you’re using the bot the right way.

In the world of Crypto, sometimes "doing nothing is a superpower." There are moments when the market calls your name, but it’s actually a trap waiting for you to trip.
If you find yourself in any of the following situations, close the app, make some coffee, and... just chill.
1. When the Market is "Doing Gymnastics" (Extreme Volatility)
During FOMC nights or CPI releases, the candles start dancing like they’re in a club. If you don’t want to see your balance vanish in a split second because of "scary wicks" hitting both sides, stay as a spectator. Watching others get liquidated is a learning experience... just don’t let that person be you!
2. When the "Revenge Demon" Takes Over (Revenge Trading)
Just lost a trade and want to "slap" the market back immediately?
Hard truth: The market isn't your enemy; your lack of calm is. Trading out of anger only helps you... go broke faster. Don’t turn yourself into a "Diamond Sponsor" for the exchange!
3. When Everyone is Flexing Their Gains (Extreme FOMO)
Seeing every group chat screaming "10x soon!" and feeling like you’re being left behind? That is exactly when you’re most likely to buy the top. Remember: "If you miss the bus, there's always another one, but if you lose your money, the journey ends."
4. When Your Mind is Everywhere Else
Just had a fight with your partner? Boss annoyed you? Or maybe you're just sleepy? Stay. Away. From. The. Charts. One second of distraction—like putting a comma in the wrong place or hitting "Sell" instead of "Buy"—is enough to make you cry in Greek.
5. When You Have No Clue Why You’re Entering
If your only reason for entering a trade is "because the chart looks... pretty" or "some guy on the internet said it's a gem," just go buy some milk tea instead. At least you get to drink something, which is better than handing your money to the market without knowing why.
💡 Final Thought
The Crypto market is open 24/7; it’s not going anywhere! Protecting your capital is the only way to stay in the game and eventually reach the moon.
Which of these "traps" have you fallen into before?

Hey crypto newbies! 😎
You’ve just stepped into the world of crypto, seeing Bitcoin pumping hard, altcoins mooning left and right, and you think: “Wow, this looks easy — let me all-in and get rich quick!”
A few weeks later? Your wallet goes from lush green to blood red, and you’re sitting there wondering: “Where the hell did my money go?”
Sad but true stat: Around 90% of newbies (and retail traders in general) lose money in crypto. This isn’t made up — it comes from data across major exchanges and studies (like BIS reports showing 73-81% of retail investors lose money due to chasing highs). Crypto is insanely volatile; not everyone survives the brutal dumps.
So why do 90% of newbies fail so spectacularly? Here are the classic reasons almost every beginner has fallen for at least once. I’ll throw in real-world examples so it’s easier to picture!
1. FOMO like a moth flying straight into the flame
You see a coin pump 100% in a single day, your group chat is bragging about 10x gains, and you think: “If I don’t buy right now, I’ll miss the opportunity of a lifetime!”
Result: You buy at the absolute top, then the market dumps vertically. The coin crashes to the bottom, and you’re left holding bags waiting for the moon… that never comes.
Real-world example: Tons of people FOMO’d into SOL at its $260 peak in 2021, only to watch it plummet to $8 in 2022. It’s doing great now, but back then? Tears all around.
Advice: Stay calm and DYOR (Do Your Own Research) thoroughly before hitting that buy button. FOMO is enemy #1 of your wallet!
2. No plan, trading purely on gut feeling
You jump onto Binance, open spot or futures, and start buying/selling randomly based on “vibes” or tips from Telegram groups. No stop-loss, no take-profit, zero risk management.
Price goes up a bit → greed kicks in, you hold hoping for 100x. Price drops → fear takes over, you panic sell right at the bottom.
Real-world example: Traders who bought BTC at $60k in 2021, refused to cut losses, held all the way down to $15k in 2022, and finally sold — losing over 75%. A simple stop-loss would have limited the damage to just a few percent.
Advice: Always have a clear trading plan. Only risk 1-2% of your capital per trade. Use stop-loss like a life jacket when swimming — without it, you’re guaranteed to drown!
3. All-in on a single coin
You spot a hot meme coin (DOGE, SHIB, or PEPE), dump everything in thinking “this is gonna moon 1000x.”
Then rug pull, dev disappears, or the whole market crashes — and you’re wiped out.
Real-world example: Millions went all-in on LUNA/UST in 2022, believing in the “super safe algorithmic stablecoin.” Result? From $100 to $0.0001 in just days.
Advice: Diversify your portfolio. Mix stable assets like BTC/ETH with high-risk alts/memes. Never put all your eggs in one basket!
4. Using high leverage like a superhero
On Binance Futures, leverage x20, x50, or x125 sounds incredibly tempting. Profits multiply… but so do losses — catastrophically.
Crypto moves wildly; one red candle and your entire account gets liquidated.
Real-world example: Throughout 2024-2025, countless newbies playing BTC futures with high leverage got rekt repeatedly during flash crashes. Some lost everything in under 5 minutes.
Advice: As a newbie, stay far away from leverage at first. Stick to spot trading until you’ve built experience and discipline, then maybe dip into futures.
5. Trading on rumors instead of learning
Following signals from groups, copying “pro” traders on X/Twitter, or chasing hot tips from TikTok.
Result: You get caught in pump-and-dumps by whales, or the signals are flat-out wrong — heavy losses.
Real-world example: Plenty of Telegram groups pump trash coins, members FOMO in, then admins dump — leaving everyone holding the bag.
Advice: Learn the basics for free on Binance Academy. Follow reputable news sources and start reading simple charts. Real knowledge is your strongest weapon!
Crypto isn’t a “get rich quick” scheme. 90% lose money because emotions take over, combined with lack of discipline and knowledge. But the successful 10%? They’re patient, manage risk well, and treat this as a long-term game.
Want to join that top 10%? Start slow and steady: Sign up on Binance, study on Academy, trade small amounts first, and always remember: Only invest money you can afford to lose!

The Survival Kit Series
Hey newbies stepping into the crypto world! Everyone knows stablecoins like USDT, USDC, or DAI are those "stable" coins that hover around $1 without the roller-coaster rides like Bitcoin or ETH. Many people think: "Yeah, just hold it until the market turns green and buy some altcoins." But hold up! Stablecoins aren't just a comfy sofa to lounge on. They're the "multitasking superheroes" of crypto! Today, I'll break down what you can do with stablecoins besides holding, explained as simply as grabbing breakfast 😂.
Lightning-Fast Trading – Your "Safe Harbor" In The Storm
You're trading BTC and see a dump coming? Sell straight to USDT instantly—no need to withdraw to a bank and wait 3-5 days (with sky-high fees). It's like playing the stock market: when everything's red, you dash to "crypto cash." USDT/USDC are the most popular trading pairs on Binance, letting you jump between coins without worrying about wild price swings. Without stablecoins, crypto trading would be slow as a turtle!
International Transfers – Send Money Without Crying Over Fees
Sending money via traditional banks or Western Union? Fees up to 5-10%, and it takes days to arrive. With stablecoins like USDC/USDT? Transfer via wallet in seconds, with fees usually under $1. People in places like Argentina, Venezuela, or the Philippines use stablecoins to send money home because their local currencies suffer crazy inflation. It's like sending money through an app—but global and with way less "middleman tax."
Passive Income – Lazy Stablecoins That Still Make Money
Bank savings giving you tiny interest rates? Forget it! In DeFi (decentralized finance), lend your stablecoins on platforms like Aave, Compound, or liquidity pools on Uniswap/PancakeSwap—and earn 5-20% interest depending on the market (with risks, of course). It's like savings accounts but with higher yields, and your money stays as stable "digital dollars." Whales (big players) rake in serious cash this way, while newbies like me... just dream about it 😜.
But seriously: This turns stablecoins into a "money printer" without fearing price crashes.Everyday Payments – Buy Coffee With USDC? Why Not!
More and more places accept stablecoins: Shopping online, paying freelancers, even PayPal or Stripe support them now. In some countries, people use stablecoins to escape inflation, holding value like real dollars but on the blockchain. Imagine tomorrow scanning a QR code at the supermarket to pay with USDT—no bulky wallet needed. That's the future, folks! ☕
... and stablecoins aren't the "boring coin" at all—they're the bridge between wild crypto and stable real-world money. Use them smartly, and they're safe, profitable, and super convenient. But remember: Pick reputable ones (USDT is the most popular, USDC is more transparent, DAI is fully decentralized), and never go all-in—risks still exist (like the Terra crash back then😱).

If you’re new to crypto, chances are you’ve been here before:

👉 Open the Binance app
👉 See Spot
👉 See Futures
👉 Brain processing for 3 seconds…
👉 “So… which one won’t make me lose money?” 😅

Relax. Everyone has been there. Let’s break down Spot vs Futures in a way that’s simple, fun, and doesn’t require a finance degree.

Spot – Buy it… and just hold

Spot is like going to the market:
• You have money → you buy coins
• You buy → the coins stay in your wallet
• Price goes up → happy
• Price goes down → sad
• No liquidation (this part matters 😌)

Example:
You buy BTC at $80
– BTC goes to $85k → profit
– BTC drops to $60k → you still own BTC, just… emotionally damaged

👉 Spot = slow and steady, perfect for:
• Beginners
• People who value sleep
• Anyone who doesn’t want a heart rate of 120 bpm

Futures – Where emotions move faster than prices

Futures is a different story. Think roller coaster
• Uses leverage (x5, x10, x20…)
• You can Long (price up) or Short (price down)
• Profits come fast
• Losses come faster
• And there’s a scary word called Liquidation 💀

Example:
You Long BTC with x10 leverage
– Price goes up 5% → your account smiles
– Price drops 5% → your account… stops smiling

👉 Futures is better for:
• Experienced traders
• People with strong emotional control
• Those who accept “quick gains or quick lessons”

🤔 So what should beginners choose?

Short answer:
👉 Spot first, Futures later

Longer answer:
• Spot helps you understand the market
• Understand coins, prices, and psychology
• Once you’re comfortable → then consider Futures
• Don’t enter Futures with the mindset: “Just trying it out”

Final thoughts
• Spot teaches you how to survive
• Futures teaches you how to endure
• Crypto won’t make you rich overnight
• But Futures can wake you up very fast

Entering the crypto world without knowing these terms is like going to a restaurant and not knowing the difference between the menu, the food, and the bill. Don't worry, let’s break it down in the most "street-smart" way possible.
1. Coin: The "Self-Made" Landlord
Think of a Coin as that guy who owns the entire apartment building. He built the foundation (his own Blockchain), set the house rules, and hired his own security guards (miners or validators).
• Personality: Proud, independent, and owns the "land deed."
• Prime Examples:
• Bitcoin (BTC): The "Grandfather" of crypto. He’s old-school, but when he speaks, everyone listens.
• Ethereum (ETH): The multi-talented guy who not only built a house but also installed high-tech "Smart Contracts" for everyone to use.
• How to spot them: They have their own network (Bitcoin Network, Ethereum Network).

2. Token: The "Flashy" Tenant
If a Coin is the landlord, a Token is a tenant who rents a room (or a whole floor) in the Coin’s building. Tokens don't have time to pour concrete or lay bricks; they focus on their own specific business or "vibe."
• Personality: Lives on someone else’s Blockchain (usually Ethereum or Binance Smart Chain).
• Prime Examples:
• Link (Chainlink): The reliable "data delivery" guy.
• Meme Coins (Shiba Inu, etc.): The cute dogs that wandered into the building and somehow became world-famous.
• How to spot them: To move a Token, you usually have to pay a "gas fee" using the Landlord’s Coin (like paying utilities to your landlord).

3. Stablecoin: The "Straight-A" Student in a Party School
While regular Coins and Tokens are partying hard—jumping up and down in price (rich in the morning, broke by dinner)—the Stablecoin is the one person staying sober and steady.
• Personality: Obsessed with being "normal." It clings to a real-world asset (usually the US Dollar) to keep its value boringly stable.
• Prime Examples:
• USDT, USDC: 1 unit of these is always dreaming of being exactly 1 USD.
• The Role: It’s the "Storm Shelter." When the crypto market starts crashing and everyone is panicking, Stablecoin holders are calmly sipping coffee because their wallet value hasn't moved an inch.

In a Nutshell:
• Coin is the foundation of the house.
• Token is the furniture you put inside.
• Stablecoin is the safe where you keep your cash so it doesn't catch fire when the market gets "hot."
Hopefully, this helps you feel less "lost in the sauce" when the crypto bros start talking shop!

Would you like me to explain how to "mine" coins or how to avoid getting "rugged" (scammed) next?

There was a time when I was quite confident that I had come up with a “hard-to-lose” strategy: running two futures grid bots at the same time — one Long and one Short — on the same trading pair. In my mind, the logic seemed flawless. If the market moved sideways, both bots would collect grid profits. If the price went up, the Long bot would profit. If the price went down, the Short bot would compensate. Just hearing it already sounded like the perfect solution for someone who isn’t good at predicting market direction, especially during a sideways market.

At first, reality seemed to support that belief. Grid profits were ticking up steadily. One bot was green, the other red, but overall everything still looked “fine.” The account didn’t grow fast, but it didn’t feel dangerous either. I started to think that if I just let the bots run long enough, profits would naturally accumulate.

Then the market entered a downtrend — not a sharp crash in a single day, but a slow, steady, and prolonged decline. That was when everything began to drift far away from theory. The Long bot kept accumulating more positions, and the unrealized loss expanded rapidly. Meanwhile, the Short bot was still profitable, but the speed of earning grid profit was painfully slow. It felt like one side was sprinting toward losses while the other was casually walking toward gains. A little grid profit each day, while the floating loss kept growing larger and larger.

The irony was that on the surface, everything still looked quite “comfortable.” Grid profit was green, and sometimes one of the bots was still showing profit. But equity kept declining, and total PnL became increasingly negative. That was when it really hit me: grid profit is just a number on the screen. It doesn’t mean much if unrealized loss keeps expanding and the bot hasn’t been closed. To put it humorously, it’s more like emotional comfort than real money.

My biggest mistake wasn’t the bot itself — it was my expectations. I believed the market would soon return to a sideways phase. I believed the downtrend would eventually end. So I let the bots keep running, day after day, hoping everything would balance itself out. But the market doesn’t care about hope. It didn’t wipe out my account in one dramatic move; instead, it slowly wore it down, a little bit each day, until the total loss became undeniable.

I wouldn’t dare to say that running two futures grid bots — one Long and one Short — is completely wrong. For highly experienced traders who can read trends, know when to turn bots on and off, and manage capital very strictly, this strategy might still have its place. However, for most beginners — especially those new to futures, who don’t fully understand unrealized loss and are easily misled by the feeling of “being in profit” — I honestly wouldn’t recommend trying it.

Bots aren’t stupid, and the market isn’t evil. Sometimes, we just believe too much in an idea that sounds very logical. If this post helps someone avoid paying the same “tuition fee” that I did, then at least that loss has brought a bit of value 😅.
