#贵金属黄金与白银刷新历史高位 Martin strategy pitfalls lie exactly here — it truly only suits two types of people: one is the pure spot trader, and the other is the wealthy who can continuously buy the dip with deep pockets. Recently, this market has been moving so rapidly that the price swings are almost unbelievable, sometimes changing direction every few hours. Once the leverage margin gets locked in, there's no room to maneuver.
My previous operations serve as a living lesson. When Ethereum was around 3200, the 1-hour candlestick chart stayed flat for an entire day. I was thinking of hedging to manage risk. The problem was — with an equivalent position, I could only open a $2000 short. In the end, I was defeated by my own overconfidence and gave up. As a result, I took the wrong position.
Looking back now, if I had persisted in waiting for a breakdown to hedge, and then allowed 4 hours for the bullish divergence to fully show, I might have been able to exit during the rebound. But the reality is, I knew what to do, yet executing it was another matter. 😂
So I advise everyone: leverage is such that once you're wrong on the direction, the space and time for a rebound often won't be available to you.

Martin's stuff is definitely a gambler's game; without money to burn, you can't even play.

Oh no, that's why I gave up leverage a long time ago, it's really too exhausting.
The Martin strategy is basically a gambling game; if your pockets aren't deep enough, don't play.
This wave of market action is indeed crazy, with a reversal every few hours, and margin calls happening in minutes.
I feel you, knowing what to do and actually doing it are completely different, and execution kills us all.
Breakout + bullish divergence sounds good, but in reality, you can't wait for it to happen.
Leverage losses are truly despairing; the time and space for rebounds are always insufficient.
Spot trading is awesome, spot trading is really awesome, I am now purely in spot trading.

Haha, I've heard the "breakout" explanation over a hundred times, but at critical moments, who the hell can stay calm and wait for the bottom divergence?

Ha, you're so right. I am the one who was overturned by complacency.
Knowing what to do and actually doing it are two different things. This is my blood, sweat, and tears story.
Historical highs in gold and silver can't stop my losing speed.

martingale is just leverage's prettier cousin, tbh. both will humble you eventually... statistically speaking, only the ones who can afford to lose it all actually make it through. the eth situation hits different though—that 2k cap on your hedge? that's the real tell. risk-adjusted returns go negative real quick when your counterparty decides you're done
