The market for the LIGHT coin yesterday really made my heart race. Around 3 PM, I saw that my account had unrealized gains of 1400U, and I was wondering if I could lock in profits. But before I could react, the coin price was pumped back down within minutes — it felt like falling from heaven to hell.
In the evening, the market really started to get lively. It soared all the way, and the funding rate directly turned to -2, which means I have to prepare for a cut of 1200U. At that time, I set the stop-loss price at 4.8, and the liquidation price was 5.0, with a very fierce trend. The coin price peaked at nearly 4.7, and every moment I was wondering if I would be liquidated and forced to exit tonight.
Fortunately, around three o'clock, I really couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep. When I woke up to check the market again, I was surprised to see that I had come back alive. Sometimes, contract trading is like this; the risks that should come cannot be avoided, while the ones that shouldn't come are instead saved by luck.

Sleeping is actually the best stop loss strategy, it makes me laugh to death.
