@$CLO this coin, really don't open short positions lightly. It looks like a good downtrend, but the trap is here — funding rates are eating away at your principal. The cost of shorting is higher than you think, especially in volatile markets, where time itself is a cost. Instead of betting on the direction, it's better to wait for clearer signals before taking action. There are too many such traps in the market, and many traders are simply worn out by funding rates. To survive longer in the crypto market, you need to learn when to act and when to hide.

Fees are really an invisible money grab. It looks like the price is dropping nicely, but in the end, you're left with nothing but your underwear.

Fee rates are like invisible bloodsuckers, unseen but truly capable of squeezing you dry. The CLO trap is too deep this time. --- Short sellers think they are making money but are actually burning cash; the opportunity cost is deadly. --- Funding rates are the real booster and reverse engine, sending your principal in the opposite direction to the moon. --- Don’t argue with CLO; if the market doesn’t give a signal, just stay put and don’t fire randomly. --- Many people are liquidated just because of funding rates; it’s really pointless. --- Let’s wait and see. Compared to shorting and paying fees, it’s better to load supplies and wait for the next launch window. --- That’s why experienced traders say the biggest enemy in the crypto market isn’t the price drop but the time cost.

Fee rates are really outrageous. What seems like small numbers are actually knives used to cut leeks.

The fee rate is really absolute; what seems like a simple short position is forcibly wiped out completely.

Fee rates really sneakily eat into your profits; I've already fallen for it on CLO before. The feeling of being worn down by fee rates is even worse than an outright liquidation. Waiting for a signal is really worth it; don't rush to bet on the direction. That's the secret to longevity. Shorting must include fee rate costs, otherwise it's a losing trade. Thanks for your reminder; the market traps are ridiculously numerous.
