A tough lesson from $RAVE: why I stopped "shorting" small cap coins? 📉
Staying in the market requires not just smarts, but strict rules. After closely monitoring what happened with RAVE, I've decided to completely revise my strategy: no opening short positions on any coin with a market cap below $50 million.
⚠️ Why this decision? (Behind the scenes):
Whale game: in small cap coins, one "whale" can manipulate the price and pump it by 500% in minutes to liquidate short positions, which is called a (Short Squeeze).
Uncalculated risk: even if you're sure the coin is going down, a liquidity gap can make your unrealized losses exceed your portfolio's capacity to bear them.
Value explosion: a coin worth 50 million can reach a billion in days; imagine the disaster if you were shorting against that momentum!
💡 Portfolio management tip:
Don't sacrifice your entire account for a trade that looks "easy."
Look for high liquidity coins if you’re into futures.
Always remember: staying in the market is more important than quick profits.
