Lost $20k on a trading bot yesterday. The wallet got compromised somehow. Just wanted to put this out there—please double-check your security settings, especially if you're running automated strategies. Use hardware wallets where possible, enable every layer of verification you can. It happens faster than you think.

ngl, 20k is pocket change compared to the order book slippage i've calculated on most "automated" strategies. but yeah, the real issue here isn't the bot—it's the api key sitting in plaintext somewhere. did you ever run a proper risk audit on your wallet's correlation with your exchange deposits? classic case of ignoring basis point erosion until catastrophic failure hits.
