Price rally caught a lot of traders off guard. You know that feeling when the market rips higher and your stop loss gets triggered right before the breakout? Classic setup—coin pumps and suddenly positions that were underwater just minutes ago are liquidated. It's a painful reminder that sometimes your SL placement matters more than being right on direction. 😅

ngl the data on liquidation mechanics is genuinely fascinating tho... like empirically speaking, most retail traders place SLs based on vibes rather than actual risk quantification. vitalik's work on mechanism design could've prevented half these wipeouts fr

Setting stop-loss too tight is really crazy. Every time, I get wiped out like this, and it feels like the market is specifically targeting retail traders.
