Recently participated in several trading competitions in a row, securing spots in KGEN, STAR, and US. But honestly, the competition for these events is really fierce now. Yesterday's trading was a bit off, and I lost 40u before getting out😂

Frankly, spots in trading contests are becoming increasingly scarce, and to achieve stable profits, every step needs to be taken with caution. One careless move could lead to being counter-rolled.

Interestingly, the two tokens KGEN and US are available in some major exchange's contract products for hedging. From a risk management perspective, this is still useful. However, the hedging returns for US are just too slim, so I ultimately abandoned that idea.

On the other hand, STAR doesn't have contract tools, which makes me a bit worried—when rewards are distributed, will the liquidity be insufficient and cause a sudden drop? This is something to keep an eye on.

Thinking of getting out with 40u? Bro, your luck is pretty good. Last time, I accidentally wiped out three digits in one go.

Without a contract, STAR is really tough. When it comes to pumping or dumping, it all depends on the mood of the heavens. That's the real gambler.

Hedging yields are slim; not hedging means losing outright, which is actually more satisfying. At least it saves the time of self-deception.

Thinking of getting out with 40u? Bro, your mindset is still too panicked. True experts have already taken the step of hedging.

STAR indeed carries high risk. Everyone has experienced liquidity crashes. You must stick to your bottom line and not be greedy.

The tuition fee of 40u isn't expensive; the key issue is that the hedging returns are like squeezing toothpaste... We really need to be cautious about the STAR part; I've seen too many scenarios where liquidity gets crushed through.

Getting out with 40u is still considered lucky; last time I was directly reaped to the point of questioning life. STAR's lack of a contract is indeed exhausting; if it really collapses completely, it would be funny. Betting on liquidity is too unpredictable.

Want to get out with 40U? I think your luck is pretty good this time; some buddies got wiped out directly.

The liquidity on STAR is indeed worrying. If it really gets broken through, that will be truly painful.

40U just want to walk away completely? That's a good mindset, brother.

It's really frustrating that STAR has no contract. If it really blows up, it will be tough to handle.

---

The trading competition is such a mess... I wish I hadn't participated. It would have been better to just focus on spot trading.

---

The hedging profit in the US is slim, I have to admit. It feels like just wasting gas fees.

Anti-rebound strategies are hard to defend against. Every time, I have to stay on high alert.

Getting out with 40u is already pretty good; some of the older brothers have already爆了

You definitely need to be cautious with STAR liquidity. If it gets smashed through, it'll be too late to cry.

40u, this must be the tuition fee, right? Haha. I'm also digging the liquidity pit of STAR. On the day they distribute rewards, it will probably depend on luck.
