The Pitfalls I Encountered on Gate—A Newcomer’s Guide to Avoiding Traps
After one month, I’ve encountered enough pitfalls on Gate to write a book. Today, I’m sharing a few tips to help newcomers avoid them:
First, don’t jump straight into futures. My experience of being liquidated in 5 minutes is still fresh in my memory. Start with spot trading, and build a solid foundation of basic knowledge first.
Second, don’t go all in on one coin. Diversify your holdings—if one falls, the others can still provide support.
Third, don’t blindly follow the crowd. There’s a lot of information on the feed, so

🔥 @S Unemployment holds steady at 4.1%
🔴 @Th Household survey data
- The labor force increased by 683K, the number of employed people rose by 569K, and the number of unemployed increased by 115K
- The labor force participation rate rose from 61.4% to 61.6% (men 67.2%, women 56.5%), still about 0.5 percentage points below January
- The prime-age employment rate for those aged 25–54 held steady at 83.4%
- Unemployment by group: Asian 3.2%, White 3.7%, Black 6.0%, Hispanic 4.8%
- U-6 fell to 7.7%, the lowest since June 2025; part-time employment for economic reasons declined by 414K

My “idle funds” on Gate have started earning money on their own
Gate recently launched a feature called “Idle Money Treasure”—idle USDT and USDC in your account automatically earn interest, with no lock-up and no manual subscription. Interest is paid out automatically every day.
I didn’t pay much attention at first, thinking, how much interest could it really generate? Then I checked after a week and found a few dozen U in my account. It wasn’t much, but the feeling of your money growing on its own without doing anything is pretty satisfying.
Before, my USDT just sat there. Now it can earn mon

$SNDK I have currently checked over ten exchanges, including major exchanges, smaller ones, and even some fly-by-night platforms. Without exception, this surge peaked between 1760 and 1770. How could a platform as large as Sesame possibly push it up dozens of points higher? It’s simply absurd. I have already contacted customer service. If necessary, I will bear all the losses and immediately liquidate all my remaining positions. That’s it—I can only say, damn, that’s impressive.

I was just about to go to the forum and start cursing, but then I saw my balance and thought, forget it—the market is always right. The chart did look ugly right after I saw the bearish news, but $SKR simply refused to break down around 0.012992, which was interesting. I felt it was a bear trap and bought directly at 0.012992. It has now risen to 0.021482, securing +1278.99%. The timing was perfect. This round of endurance wasn’t in vain—big gains are prepared for those willing to act. One-liner: Managing risk in advance is called rationality; cutting losses afterward is called making a heroic

Everyone’s long LTC while the 4h quietly flips—are you holding the wrong side of LTC?

$LTC /USDT - SHORT

Trade Plan:
Entry: 52.17 – 52.41
SL: 53.73
TP1: 51.21
TP2: 50.49
TP3: 49.41

Why this setup?
- RSI on 15m is screaming at 70.47—overheated, mean-reversion fuel for a SHORT.
- 1D trend is range, but our 4h bias says fade the pump, not chase it.
- Entry zone 52.29 with TP1 at 51.21—that’s a 2% drop before the daily open even blinks.
- Why now? The last push to 52.41 looks like a liquidity grab; ATR (0.46) says volatility is coiled for a snap back.

Debate:
TP2 at 50.49 or fakeout

Among Gate’s 60 million users, how many are beginners like me?
60 million users. I’m curious—how many of them, like me, only registered recently?
Definitely quite a few. Gate’s user base is growing so quickly that it added nearly 10 million users in 2026 alone. Most of those 10 million should be new retail traders, right?
New retail traders have one characteristic—they don’t understand anything but want to try everything. That was me: when I first arrived, I wanted to try a bit of everything—spot, futures, wealth management. I practically wanted to click on every feature.
Now that a month has

60 million users—what will Gate’s next step be?
With 60 million users already reached, I’m wondering what Gate’s next step will be.
Since 2013, Gate has evolved from a simple crypto exchange into a multi-platform supporting more than 12,500 stock assets. Its user base has grown from zero to 60 million, and its products have expanded from a single offering to a diversified ecosystem.
I think the next goal could be 100 million users. At the current growth rate, it may not take long to achieve.
As a newcomer who joined just a month ago, I’m really looking forward to witnessing Gate’s next milesto

Gu Jingci: 9.5 Bitcoin/Ethereum Trading Strategy and Market Analysis
Following yesterday’s renewed short setup for Bitcoin/Ethereum, prices fell overnight to around 78,600 and 2,430, respectively, with the potential downside clearly visible. The market has since recovered and rebounded, but the momentum is not strong, while overhead pressure remains evident. On the 4-hour chart, after a large bearish candle last night, the market is now moving sideways with small-bodied candles and extremely low trading volume, indicating that short-term downward momentum is weakening and the market has entere

$AKE It was still playing dead at 0.0127 ten minutes ago, and now it has shot straight up to 0.0202! With a 24-hour trading volume of 170M, something is clearly off with this coin’s volume, and speculative capital is obviously scrambling to accumulate. But I urge you to stay calm—this move looks exactly like that junk coin last week that surged 30% before getting cut in half. Don’t get carried away.
Here are three reasons to be bullish: First, the price broke through the previous high resistance at 0.0185, confirming a technical trend reversal. The MACD golden cross has just formed, and short-

This was purely the market being in a good mood and casually sprinkling around some gold coins, with one happening to land right on my head. While everyone else was still waiting and watching, I was keeping an eye on the $SPCX order book. It had been consolidating at the bottom for a long time, buying pressure was strengthening, and every dip was being absorbed. I entered at 140.56 and waited, on the logic that it was forming a base without breaking down. Now the market has fully taken off, rising to 148.19 for a +504.29% return. It was genuinely sluggish at first, but the result is genuinely

I was tempted again on the day U.S. stock options launched
On September 2, Gate officially launched U.S. stock options trading. The first phase covers 9 popular assets, including Nvidia, Tesla, Apple, and Meta.
To be honest, I had only read about options in books before and had never traded them. But Gate has made them into a USDT cash-settled product, so there is no need to open a U.S. stock account—you can trade directly in the app.
I haven't dared to buy any yet, but I'm already learning. Gate Academy has quite a few tutorials on options. Once I understand them, I might actually give them a

$PONS continues to break out. The next post explains why there is still at least 3x upside and what the underlying principle is…

Everyone’s staring at ADA’s bounce, but the 4H tape is whispering a different name—and it’s not “long.”

$ADA /USDT - SHORT

Trade Plan:
Entry: 0.2098 – 0.2112
SL: 0.2168
TP1: 0.2058
TP2: 0.2027
TP3: 0.1980

Why this setup?
- ADA/USDT is “Armed” for a short at 0.2105, with the first target sitting 2.2% below (0.2058).
- The 1D trend is range-bound, not bullish—meaning upside is capped, and the 15m RSI at 48.82 shows zero momentum to break the ceiling.
- ATR on the 1H (0.0026) is tight, so the move down to TP2 (0.2027) is a grind, not a crash—perfect for patient entries.
- Why now? Pri

$BULL Funding rate -0.2048%, shorting costs remain high, yet the price is holding firmly above 0.0501. The bid depth ratio stands at 1.30, with thick bid support completely overwhelming selling pressure. The 1H MACD continues to expand, with no signs of momentum exhaustion, while the 4H Bollinger upper band has fully opened.
