There are more and more people getting liquidated on STRK, but the real problem is not the coin itself, but the loopholes in trading logic.
Let's start with the first trap — miscalculating leverage. 100x leverage sounds terrifying, but it's not that scary. The real issue is how you use it. Using 10% of your position to open 100x leverage, in other words, your actual leverage is only 10x, and the risk is completely controllable. But many people go all-in directly with 100x as if it’s the cost, throwing everything into one shot — isn’t that asking for death?
The second trap — stop-losses are ineffective. Limiting each trade to a maximum loss of 2% of your principal is not just a theory; it’s the bottom line for survival in trading. For example, with 50,000 yuan, the maximum loss per trade is 1,000 yuan. This 1,000 yuan won’t make you rich overnight, but it gives you 100 chances to make mistakes. Keep your principal alive, and the story can continue.
The third trap — confusing rolling positions with all-in bets. Using 50,000 profit to expand your position is different from using 50,000 principal to go all-in — they are two different worlds. Gaining 10% and then adding 10% more is called rolling the snowball; gaining 10% and then doubling the position is rolling off a cliff. One becomes more stable, the other will eventually crash.
Remember this formula, math never lies:
Total position ≤ (Principal×2%) / (Stop-loss range×Leverage)
Candlestick charts are full of traps, but take-profit and stop-loss are not mystical. Taking 20% profit and reducing your position by 1/3, then taking 50% profit and reducing another 1/3, and immediately closing all positions if the price falls below the 5-day moving average — repeat this process hundreds of times, and it will become muscle memory, more reliable than any intuition.
The last three numbers you must memorize: single loss ≤ 2%, annual trades ≤ 20, and profit-loss ratio ≥ 3:1.
People who get liquidated always blame the market, while winners are busy reviewing their trading records for problems. Winning is not about luck; it’s about discipline.
