Who is really winning with these counterfeit coin contracts? Do retail investors really have any way to win?
$AKE
I’m getting more and more confused the more I play. With these so-called altcoin contracts, who can actually make money? Do ordinary retail investors really still have a chance to win?
Take my AKE trade as an example. The direction was correct the whole time, yet I still couldn’t capture the big profits!
I first opened a long at 0.0008. When the price spiked up to 0.0069, I got liquidated on the 5th floor—so the big profit I should have had was gone instantly.
Not willing to accept it, I took all the profits back and kept going long, opening my position at the low of 0.003.
The subsequent price action followed my prediction perfectly: the price kept rising. When it reached 0.01, my account was already in profit of more than a thousand U, and later it even surged to 0.016.
At that time I rolled out the position safely. My liquidation price was pushed down to 49, and I specifically set a stop-loss at 55.
Then the market kept bouncing and whipsawing! It directly pinned down and stabbed to the 6th floor. I didn’t panic or run—I just held with patience, waiting through a few days of sideways movement, and in the end it precisely stabbed right to the edge of my liquidation price.
Luckily I had set the 55 stop-loss in advance, otherwise this round would have wiped me out completely!
What’s the most ironic? After I exited with my stop-loss, AKE went absolutely crazy—shooting up to a high of 0.044!
To be honest, I finally saw through it: with these altcoins now, even if you get the direction right, even if you nail the entry price perfectly, and even if you can keep your mindset stable—at the end of the day, you still can’t make real big money.
Liquidity in these altcoins is extremely poor. My position originally had stable profit of over 10,000 U, and yet it was targeted by the whales—they just won’t let retail investors make money.
Is all of this just a coincidence? Absolutely not—it’s not a coincidence at all!
Even worse, what happened to my fellow countrymen is even more brutal: their short position at 0.007 had a liquidation price that happened to be set around 0.04. It got blown out directly by a precise needle-pin drop. Was that also a coincidence?
The market right now isn’t about making money through technical analysis, prediction, or mindset.
It’s simply a double kill—both longs and shorts get punished!
Altcoins:
Holding for the long term, holding a trend—you will definitely be shaken out by needle-pins.
Staying at the low levels and holding the main breakout—you will be precisely smashed into your liquidation price.
In the end, the only people who can survive and make a little money are those who chase, those who cut quickly—who aren’t greedy, don’t cling to a big picture, and are only willing to bite off a small piece and leave.
Retail investors who analyze seriously, hold patiently, and trade steadily are actually always the ones getting harvested.
It’s really heartbreaking!
So now I’m already an honest spot trader. Even though overall I’m still about breaking even.
My suggestion: when playing contracts, besides US stocks and BTC, it’s better not to play anything else!
