#美联储回购协议计划 Market Meat Grinder: Those Who Got Liquidated Overnight
The recent plunge of $BEAT is nothing new. Just look at those big holders who were still shouting in the group a week ago with their 100,000 USDT, their accounts have already hit rock bottom. Retail investors are even worse—90% of the followers have all been harvested, like cutting leeks, one batch after another.
Things like this happen every day. During the $PIPPIN round, someone entered the market with 100,000 U and ended up escaping with only 5,000 U. High-frequency traders place 50 orders a day, and the fees eat away all their capital. The die-hard holders close their eyes and shout that the bull market will last forever, only to have their accounts wiped out in a waterfall drop. The most absurd are the FOMO gamblers, who see others flaunting hundredfold returns and go all-in, only to wake up to find their accounts halved. Then there are those playing with $PTB, staring at the screen at 3 AM, ashtrays piled high, screaming: This market treats me like a pig to be slaughtered!
But the problem is not the market, it is the trading mindset.
I have seen a real case: someone used 5000U, and three months later they broke even and had some left. He used three methods:
**Don't act blindly, focus on the long cycle** — Don't stare at the 1-minute K-line, switch to the 4-hour view. Missing 10 opportunities is fine, at most 3 trades a day. If your fingers are itchy, go exercise, don't poke around on the chart.
**Position Control and Take Profit** — First order of 500U to test the waters, take out half when earning 20%, and use a trailing stop to lock in profits for the remaining amount. Cut losses immediately at 5%, and never average down to reduce costs.
**Cut off two positions and shut down** — This is the hardest one. Don't engage in revenge trading, review and reflect every night, summarize the reasons for losses, and celebrate wins but don't become complacent.
99% of those who have lost everything do not identify as gamblers. They insist that this is "investment" and refuse to repent.
The real culprit of getting liquidated can be summed up in one phrase: "Just hold on for 5 more minutes and we'll break even." These 7 words have doomed countless people. Remember, when the account starts bleeding, stopping losses should always be the top priority. Strict implementation is the only way to survive.
Still being harvested? The key is not to find some secret, but to establish discipline — fixed positions, a calm mindset, and ruthless stop-losses. Turning from a retail investor to a winner relies not on luck, but on not allowing yourself to make fatal mistakes.

The phrase "shut down after two consecutive trades" is spot on, it's about myself... Every time it's "Hold on a little longer" and then the account is gone.

The consultation records show that these cases all have the same symptoms—acute FOMO syndrome combined with chronic loss of stop-loss. It's not a market problem at all; it's the patients refusing to take medication.

Really, I've heard that "just hold on for another 5 minutes to recoup investment" too many times, and every time this saying gets people into trouble.
Seeing someone lose all their principal to fees with 50 orders in a day reminds me of that guy in the group who was always watching the market and following trends, and in the end, he even lost his living expenses.
Discipline sounds easy to talk about, but I haven't seen anyone around me who can actually turn off their trading after losing just two orders.
The story of turning 100,000 U into 5,000 U is still in my mind, and it's a bit painful.
I think the heart-wrenching part of this article is that it doesn't teach you how to make money, but rather how to avoid losing everything.

Really, look at those who were still bragging a week ago, now they're all gone, can't laugh at all.
I agree with the idea of shutting down after two losses, but it's just too hard to do, hands are too itchy.
The phrase "hold on for another 5 minutes" is deadly, I've fallen for it myself.
Stop loss sounds nice, but executing it is truly torture.
However, to be fair, 99% of people can't tell whether they are investing or gambling.

Damn, another wave of suckers has matured. Every time it's "hold on for 5 more minutes," and in the end, the account is gone.

Indeed, this thing called stop loss is easy to say but hard to do. Watching the account fall makes you want to stubbornly hold on, completely losing your rationality.
I have to remember that line about shutting down after cutting two orders, or else I'll have to be educated by the market again.
How many people has this wave of market conditions played people for suckers? Those guys with 100,000 U in the group are probably silent now.
It's all nice to say it's investment, but it's actually gambling. Not admitting this point is what leads to the worst losses.
My fingers really get itchy, I just have to poke the market to feel comfortable, and as a result, I've spent all the fees for 50 orders in a day.
That guy who turned 5,000 U back is indeed a textbook case, but most people simply can't execute it. Self-discipline is truly a rare commodity.
"Just hold on for another 5 minutes" is a phrase that keeps tricking people here. I've been tricked several times already; I've learned my lesson.
Stop loss is always the hardest decision because cutting losses means admitting you were wrong, and it's a psychological hurdle that's hard to overcome.

You are not wrong, but what I fear the most is that knowing this still doesn't stop me. Every time I look at the market, I want to make a move.

nah, the "just hold 5 more minutes" part hits different... seen validator nodes go down the same way, except it's slashing risk instead of liquidations. same psychological trap, different chain. discipline really is everything.
