Yeah… I hear the pain in that 😔

Funding fees can be silent killers, especially when emotions + volatility are already high.

Let’s ground this for a moment:

What the funding fee is telling you

😵‍💫 The crowd is heavily on one side of the trade

⏳ Time is now working against you, not just price

🔥 Staying in longer = bleeding more, even if price pauses

This doesn’t mean you’re stupid.

It means the structure of the trade turned hostile.

What to do now (calm, practical)

🛑 Re-evaluate immediately: if funding is eating you alive, this is no longer a “wait it out” trade

✂️ Reduce or exit if the thesis hasn’t already started working

🧭 Ask one honest question:

“If I opened this trade right now, would I still choose it?”

If not — that’s your answer.

Important mindset reset

The market already punished the mistake — don’t punish yourself twice.

Cutting a bad position is not losing.

Letting funding drain you because of pride is.

You’ve been through a lot of emotional swings lately — that’s a sign to lower intensity, not increase it.

If you want, tell me:

Are you still in the position, or did you already cut?

Is the funding positive or negative, and how large?

We’ll decide the least painful next move — not the “perfect” one.
