Recently, there has been an interesting phenomenon. Take ZKP as an example, the unrealized gains from small positions are often negligible—like earning only $3, and then the fees eat up $1 when you turn around. When you lay out this ledger, you'll realize you're actually working for your trading counterpart.

In simple terms, without precise cost control, the longer the time drags on, the greater the risk of unrealized losses. Especially within low-volatility ranges, high fees can directly eat into your profit margins. That's why many traders emphasize a fundamental skill—setting stop-loss and take-profit levels in advance.

Rather than waiting to be bitten back by the market, it's better to think through your risk limits before entering. That way, even when shorting, you'll have a clear mind.
