🤬🤬 Just today I finished an article about bots in futures and immediately fell under their train (don't trade tired)....👇
🤖 Crypto Bots: Liquidation & Funding Traps
Ever see a price "wick" your stop and immediately reverse? It’s not bad luck; it’s HFT algorithms hunting your liquidity.
🔪 Liquidation Hunting
Bots target "liquidation maps" where stops cluster. They drive the price there to create a surge of market orders, allowing "whales" to exit large positions with zero slippage. Your loss is their exit liquidity.
💸 Funding Traps
Bots manipulate the spot-futures spread to spike funding rates. They can trap the price in a tight range while your capital evaporates on high fees, even without significant price movement.
🛡 How to Avoid the Trap:
- Avoid "Round Number" stops (e.g., $50,000). Use "awkward" price levels instead.
- Watch for high volume without price action — this often signals a trap is forming.
- Understand the mechanics to stop being "market liquidity."
