New projects on BSC had a pre-market bidding of 600 million FDV, followed by open free trading. Many have already bought tens of thousands of shares in advance. Now the question is—dare you hedge out directly during the pre-market phase? This game is not simple.

I learned my lesson when I previously participated in the Lighter airdrop. The pre-market liquidity was too weak, making it very easy for the manipulators to control the market and push prices up. If I wasn't careful, I could get trapped. So at that time, I didn't dare to use HL for hedging operations, fearing I would get swept up as soon as I placed an order.

But the trend is changing. As the leading prediction market, Polymarket will also open pre-market trading in 1 day. This could be a real turning point—after three years of being PUA'd by this market, it looks like the hard times are coming to an end. The key is how to properly time your exit. The OTC channels before the market are indeed available, but liquidity and risk need to be carefully evaluated.

Pre-market hedging? I advise you not to overthink it. With such weak liquidity, a single order can be immediately filled. It's better to wait until the market opens to see what happens.

Pre-market liquidity is so poor, yet you still dare to hedge your positions. Aren't you just asking for trouble? Lighter should have learned a lesson from that incident.

Pre-market, with this level of liquidity, dare to hedge? Sweeping orders is a matter of minutes. I think I'll wait until Poly opens up before making a move.

Pre-market hedging? That's funny. With such poor liquidity, it was directly driven up violently. Haven't I learned enough from my Lighter's lesson?

Pre-market hedging, to put it simply, is betting that the market maker won't pull you out... but who dares to bet?

Pre-market hedging? Buddy, you're just risking your neck here. With such poor liquidity, you still dare to place orders. Aren't you afraid of being eaten by the whales?

Pre-market hedging? Uh... I'll wait until liquidity improves. That time with Lighter really taught me a hard lesson.

nah ser, this is where most people get liquidated. pre-launch liquidity is literally a mirage... one market maker, one wallet, game over. polymarket flipping won't change the fundamental game theory here tbh

Pre-market stuff is just gambling psychology, poor liquidity hedging? Uh... I really don't dare.

Pre-market liquidity is basically the casino owner's buffet; orders get eaten up just like that. I really learned a lot from that Lighter incident... But Polymarket is opening up, and this time there's finally a chance.
