Regional difficulty trades, down $20k in unrealized losses.
Every day, people in the group ask me, “What’s the alpha today? Any wealth codes?” Honestly, I rarely know how to answer.
Most people don’t wait for real trade setups, nor do they try to avoid the pain of losses. That’s why they keep jumping into positions, and when they’re down, they just keep averaging in—even if they have no clue why they’re doing it.
Even top traders can’t avoid this trap; a lot of experienced traders have called me lately about the same shit.
Here’s a quick rundown:
1. $ETH: Last time, I made 16 ETH profit on coin-margined trades. Then I switched to ETHUSDT, went from +$3.5k to a loss. Yesterday, scalped on the 15min, price came back to my entry in the morning but I didn’t close. After the NFP data, price came back to my entry again, finally got out breakeven. (see pic 1)
Reasoning: Saw NFP, instantly played the rate cut narrative, longed $ENA, but ENA was weak. Closed $ETH at entry with a $400 loss, closed ENA at entry.
Yesterday I was out meeting people, so I didn’t dig deep into the post-NFP revisions or the political drama from Trump’s speech that set off new market narratives. That’s normal, nobody can catch every headline. Nothing more to say.
Some group members faded me on ETH, and it somehow ended up in profit for them. Whatever, pure price action/CATL theory, I could draw it out but you wouldn’t get it, not gonna bother explaining.
2. $SUI: Sitting on a $9,700 unrealized loss here, but I’m not too worried—was playing for a small-to-big move.
Cetus incident—I bought 300k SUI at $3.96. Always had the microstrategy narrative on SUI, so when the news dropped, I played the short-term pump, but the market dumped, so no profit.
When FOMC hit and people started playing reflexivity, SUI was up $2k, but I didn’t close, figured the rate cut narrative was still bullish.
Last night I was out again, so my macro view was still stuck on the rate cut story. Plus with the microstrategy OTC price and follow-up buys, I only closed ETH and thought SUI would keep running.
My SUI averaging isn’t DCA, it’s still by the chart. Based on my entry, DCA wouldn’t get me this price anyway.
If the overall market structure breaks down—which I don’t think it has yet—I’ll just swap the contract to spot for the same value, and ride it out with the Cetus sell-off. If SUI drops under $3, I’ll just add another $100k to the position. Funding isn’t too bad, it’s been negative for a bit.
Cleared most alts in May, but I’m still bullish on SUI ecosystem and @MMTFinance. So, not too stressed.
Where’s the other $10k loss? $ASP—honestly not even worth a post-mortem.
WTF, is this a rug? @jackhe24 @aspecta_ai
I’m just unlucky, @lijiuer1, got scammed again. My bad.


You call this a fluctuation.
0.7-0.1
90 degrees is called a cliff, and 89.9 degrees is called a slope?
That 0.1 degree is the position of the son
