Everyone thinks shorting a runaway pump is easy money, but fighting a strong trend is like trying to stop a freight train with your bare hands.
Most traders bleed their portfolios dry because they refuse to accept when the market proves them wrong. They keep adding margin to losing positions, praying for a miracle pullback while liquidation inches closer.
Take a look at a recent perpetual trade on
$ZEC . A trader opened a heavy short position, stubbornly praying for a drop to 1000, only to sit on over -77,842.50 $USDT in unrealized losses. The comforting belief that bears cannot lose forever often turns into watching months of capital evaporate in a matter of hours.
When momentum takes over, hoping is not a risk management strategy. The market can stay irrational far longer than your account can stay solvent, especially when leverage amplifies every move across assets like
$BTC . If your entry thesis is broken, taking a small loss preserves your capital for tomorrow.
Have you ever held onto a deep drawdown hoping it would bounce back, or do you cut losses immediately?
