Trading at the 60,000 level for five days. Yesterday, LISA experienced fluctuations, so trading was paused. After restarting today, it was clear that the market is indeed not stable enough. In the morning, I rotated operations among several coins like TIMI, KGEN, and DN. Although I successfully locked in one profit, I was subsequently squeezed out repeatedly, losing 1U, 0.46U, and 0.41U respectively. The entire process involved a trading volume of 65,549U, and the final account balance was 515.25U, with a total consumption of 4.75U—this result indicates one issue: when the market is unstable, blind trading often results in more losses than gains.
These days of experience have given me a new understanding of risk management in spot trading. The key is to learn to wait. Specifically, before clicking confirm, always observe the color of the spread basis point—if it’s still red, wait a bit longer. Wait until it turns yellow or even green before operating, which can significantly reduce slippage. Another detail is to look at the price candlestick in the top right corner; several consecutive green candles indicate a stable market direction, and losses are usually smaller, sometimes even resulting in slight profits. Conversely, if you see several consecutive red candles, be prepared for the possibility of being squeezed out.
Setting up reverse orders also requires attention. The spread basis point should not be filled with 0.01 entirely. It may seem greedy, but it’s easy for the system to reject such orders because the spread is too small, making the order seem unreasonable. Instead, slightly widening the spread can improve the chances of execution. Ultimately, stability and the basis point are the two core indicators of spot trading, and they are more worth paying attention to than blindly pursuing trading volume.

Getting repeatedly squeezed is really a common topic; it still depends on signals like color and others.

Got squeezed again, it seems I'm not the only one with this pain point. I've also fallen into the 0.01 basis point trap. The system really tends to reject orders, so I still need to leave some room for myself.

Being squeezed continuously and unable to hold on anymore—that's the price of impatience, haha.

It got squeezed out, it's uncomfortable. Instead of chasing trading volume, it's better to wait for a good opportunity.

Being squeezed continuously for 4.75U—that's the price of greed... Luckily, I realized it early.

Getting squeezed again, huh? That's the price of rushing for quick gains.
