โ ๏ธ Trader Warning: Even a break-even stop loss can FAIL in futures! ๐ฑ
Let me share my recent nightmare with GHST ๐
I went long on GHST after spotting a solid setup.
Price moved exactly as planned โ I was in good profit and feeling confident. ๐๐
To protect capital, I shifted my stop loss to break-even.
Thought I was safe. Big mistake.
๐จ Then it happened.
In seconds, GHST dumped over 20%.
My stop loss triggeredโฆ but the fill was horrible.
โ Result: ~192% loss
Not because my analysis was wrong โ but due to
๐ High leverage
๐ Slippage
๐ Cross-margin mode
What shouldโve been a safe exit turned into a full-blown disaster. ๐ฅ
๐ง Hard lessons learned:
โข Isolated margin > Cross margin โ contain the damage
โข Never park all funds in futures wallet โ move extras to Spot
โข Stops donโt guarantee safety during extreme volatility
โข Always re-check margin mode & leverage before entering
Markets donโt care about confidence โ they punish complacency.
