If you’re still trading manipulated perps without a stop loss, stop now.
The fastest way to give back a winning month is thinking “top trader” status makes you untouchable. FOMO entries, revenge shorts, and refusing to cut when the market maker pushes price against you can wipe out weeks of gains.
A trader ranking among the top profit makers over 30D on
$AKE just opened an AKEUSDT perp short with 5X leverage. The interesting part isn’t the short itself, it’s the mindset: even after a strong month, they’re openly prepared to lose on this setup to protect the profits already made.
One side says stops get hunted, especially when manipulation is obvious. Fair. But the other side is that no stop means you’re letting the market decide how much of your account it wants. I’d rather take a controlled loss on
$AKE than turn a good month into a forced lesson, whether I’m trading
$BTC ,
$BNB , or small-cap volatility.
Do you think strict stop losses are essential in manipulated markets, or do they just make you easier liquidity?
