📊 Risk management, psychology, and making the most of Funding in
$INIT • Damage control and defense:
In the first trade, I got stuck with an unrealized loss of almost 3 USDT. Following our mentor’s advice to average down and look for a clean exit, I applied more than 200% of my initial capital. The market required quick action: the funding rate was very high and charged every hour. I understood that holding the position would unnecessarily drain my margin, so I prioritized protecting my capital and closed with a minimal, controlled loss.
• Strategy and keeping a cool head:
With a funding rate paying 2,00% in favor of longs, I entered a position of 1 USDT. Within minutes, volatility put me between -3 and -4 in the red. Some might have panicked, but I calmly followed the defined strategy and applied what I’d learned in the
@Kiu Trades community. I waited for the exact moment: before the funding payment came through, I executed a DCA using more than 200% of my initial capital (averaging in at 0,20261). This move served a dual purpose:
• It allowed me to collect around 1,67 USDT just from the funding rate.
• I improved my breakeven point, turning the situation around and closing with a profit of +4,27 USDT. 🚀
💡 Final reflection:
Analyses don’t always work out, and results aren’t always immediate. When you have a plan, understand market mechanics, and apply what you’ve learned, you’re better prepared.
