Even leaderboard traders with top 30-day rankings can get caught on the wrong side of an aggressive breakout.
Most traders assume following top-performing wallets guarantees easy wins, but stubbornly holding onto underwater trades is how weeks of hard-earned profits vanish overnight.
Take a look at what just played out on $AKE perpetuals. A top-tier trader opened a short position right before $AKE surged over 43.07%, leaving them trapped with an unrealized loss exceeding -25,601.95 $USDT.
When momentum runs this hard, trying to fight the trend without a strict stop loss is lethal. The market does not care about past win rates once a squeeze gets moving, and hoping for an immediate pullback rarely ends well.
How do you usually handle your risk when a sudden pump moves aggressively against your short?
