Many beginner traders focus only on the entry and exit price, but ignore the "silent enemy" that can devour your profits in a matter of hours: the Funding Fee.

In this operation with $RAVE I found myself in a classic scenario:
1️⃣ The rate was at -2.00% (extremely high).
2️⃣ As I was in a short position, the system was asking me to pay 14.97 USDT just to keep the position open when the countdown reached.
What’s the dilemma?

After the cleanup of long positions we recently saw (sharp drop in Open Interest at the minimum of 1.383), the scenario for an upward movement is aligning.

1️⃣ Liquidity in the Order Book: The order book shows massive "walls" between 1.70 and 1.80 USDT. The price often acts like a magnet towards where there is more liquidity.

2️⃣ Negative Funding Rate: With an FF of -0.036%, shorts are paying longs. The market is "heavy" to the downside, which is often fuel for a Short Squeeze.

What we are seeing in $NAORIS is a giant red flag. A 5-minute candle with a movement of +16% is not organic growth, it's pure manipulation.

What really happened?
That huge wick that sweeps up and down in seconds is known as "Stop Hunting". Whales or the exchange take advantage of low liquidity to sweep Stop Losses and liquidate leveraged positions 📉 💀
A project that boasts post-quantum security and L1 technology should not exhibit these behaviors in its derivatives. A volume of +26M in a single M5 candle indicates that someone is "cleaning" the order book at will.

OK, this is where I say "I should have let the operation run" 🤷🏻

Personal note: patience pays, I must practice it 👀

Do you know the real terror? 😨 it's wanting to open a position and seeing this notification 👇🏼

It's the moment when I say that operation was worth it, see** 🍆 the margin call is imminent, I try to manage the hedge and my favorite exchange does not cooperate 🤬 abandons me and decides to reject my order 💀 Total risk and high probability of liquidation ⚰️
Trade responsibly and always use Stop Loss!

My DNA as a trader is scalping; I am used to entering and exiting the market in a range of 5 to 15 minutes. However, the current price action has demanded an evolution from me: lately, the management of my trades has extended to days. In this game, rigidity is the enemy; you have to adapt to the market or stay out 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hedging and repurchases? Some say they don’t work... I prefer to prove otherwise with results 😎

Although the last trade in #Bitcoin did not go as expected (it almost hit the TP four times but did not succeed), here is the proof of why the strategy is everything.
Many say that hedging does not work, but the numbers do not lie: a controlled loss of -1.01 USDC absorbed by a gain of +3.00 USDC.

The key is not to predict the future, but to know how to react to the market 📉➡️📈
