Why is nobody talking about how most traders get completely wiped out trying to short pumps when the real edge is waiting for the top forced liquidation?

Most people bleed their margin chasing sudden rallies, desperately trying to pick the exact top only to get liquidated on the last spike. It is painful watching the market dump right after your position gets stopped out.

The secret to sustainable trading is not predicting every candle, but managing risk ruthlessly and waiting for market structure to break. When looking at the recent $BAKE perp move, chasing the upside was reckless, but executing around the high-level forced liquidation yielded over +200,971.73 $USDT in closed PnL as the asset dropped -13.56%.

The strategy is simple: move your stop to break even on every partial fill and let the cascading liquidations do the heavy lifting. When major pairs like $BTC and high-volatility alts overextend, smart capital waits for aggressive buyers to exhaust before capitalizing on the flush.

How do you manage your stops when trading high-volatility pullbacks?
