These days, just looking at the funding fee deduction emails makes my mentality explode. A single order ended up costing me over 500 USDT in funding fees. The position that originally had some profit was completely harvested by these funding fees—losing everything and even turning into a loss.

The most disgusting part is that there are no signals at all to close the position in this market. It looks like it might stay sideways for a while, but every 8-hour cycle, the funding fee is like a vampire sucking blood out. Right now, my mind is just focused on how high this wave can go—since I've already been hurt, I might as well go on a daze and see whether I can hold on longer before it blows up, or if the market reverses first.

Honestly, this trade has become a psychological game. I've already vomited the profits, and the losses are still ongoing. Holding the position feels like a time bomb. Can anyone suggest a solution?

Funding fees are truly a slow death; losing 500U completely breaks your defense. Consolidation is the most torturous, every 8 hours being drained of blood, making it impossible to see a way out. If you've already lost, don't wander in a daze—cut your losses quickly, or you'll regret it when your position gets liquidated. I've already quit leverage trading; this thing is just a casino. That's why I only focus on spot trading, because fees are a nightmare.

Funding fees are really bloodsucking, sideways trading is the most heartbreaking --- That's why you can't go naked, it's like sleepwalking --- Wait a minute, you need to adjust your mindset, brother. A ticking time bomb should be defused --- Lost 500 dollars, keep holding? I suggest stop-loss and walk away --- When there's no market signal, you should come out even more. Don't gamble anymore --- By the way, funding fees should be included in the cost. Why didn't you consider that? --- Sideways trading is the most deadly, every cycle gets exploited, I can't stand it --- The more intense the psychological game, the more you lose. You need to understand this principle

Funding fees, these vampires are really incredible, sideways trading is the most torturous Getting wiped out by 500U repeatedly makes me go crazy, might as well just blow up completely Sleepwalking through positions is really exciting, waiting to see who surrenders first If you keep playing this psychological game, your mentality will eventually collapse; when it's time to cut losses, you still have to be ruthless Orders that have been hurt the most are the easiest to make mistakes on; be careful, the timed bombs might really explode

Funding fees are really the king of scams. When the market is sideways, you still have to bleed. Who can withstand this? Most of the last sleepwalking trades end up exploding. Don't wait anymore, buddy. 500U is gone just like that. Heartbreaking. Reverse your position, continuing to hold is just gambling. This wave of market movement is just a funding fee harvesting machine, never-ending.
