โš ๏ธ Trader Warning: Even a break-even stop loss can FAIL in futures! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Let me share my recent nightmare with GHST ๐Ÿ‘‡

I went long on GHST after spotting a solid setup.

Price moved exactly as planned โ€” I was in good profit and feeling confident. ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ“ˆ

To protect capital, I shifted my stop loss to break-even.

Thought I was safe. Big mistake.

๐Ÿšจ Then it happened.

In seconds, GHST dumped over 20%.

My stop loss triggeredโ€ฆ but the fill was horrible.

โŒ Result: ~192% loss

Not because my analysis was wrong โ€” but due to

๐Ÿ‘‰ High leverage

๐Ÿ‘‰ Slippage

๐Ÿ‘‰ Cross-margin mode

What shouldโ€™ve been a safe exit turned into a full-blown disaster. ๐Ÿ’ฅ

๐Ÿง  Hard lessons learned:

โ€ข Isolated margin > Cross margin โ€” contain the damage

โ€ข Never park all funds in futures wallet โ€” move extras to Spot

โ€ข Stops donโ€™t guarantee safety during extreme volatility

โ€ข Always re-check margin mode & leverage before entering

Markets donโ€™t care about confidence โ€” they punish complacency.
