One strategy you can use—based on simple math—to reduce liquidation risk when trading $RAVE or similar low-cap tokens:

Let’s say you want to open a short position on $RAVE with $1000.

Instead of going all-in on one side, use hedge mode:

Open a long position with $1000

At the same price, open a short position with $1200

This creates a slightly heavier bias toward the short side while still protecting you from sudden upward spikes

Why this works:

  Your liquidation price becomes safer due to the hedge

• If the price pumps, your long helps absorb losses

• If the price eventually drops (which often happens with tokens like $STO, $COAI, $ARIA), your extra $200 short position becomes profit

In the long run, this kind of balanced setup can help you survive volatility and avoid getting wiped out by sudden spikes. It’s a lower-risk, lower-profit approach but more sustainable over time compared to one-sided trades that can get liquidated quickly.

Also, use a 2× upper target (TP) on your long position.
For example:

• Set a high TP on the long (e.g., +$30 or a strong resistance level)

• This target is unlikely to hit, but it acts as a safety layer

How it plays out:

• If the price somehow pumps hard and hits that TP, your overall loss stays limited (around ~20%)

• If the price drops hard (which is more likely in these tokens), your heavier short position can return around ~20% profit

So mathematically, the probability favors you:

• Lower chance of hitting the long TP

• Higher chance of downside move → higher probability of profit

This makes it a probability-based strategy focused on survival and consistency rather than chasing big wins.
