$XLM
Check the chart. -3.78% and I'm not fazed.
This is my XLMUSDT Perp short. Red on the percentage, green in the account. Let me break down why the surface numbers never tell the full story.
Currently sitting on 6.74 USDT profit with +0.18% ROI. Barely green, but green. Here's the real structure:
· Entry: 0.15609
· Mark: 0.15608 (fractionally below entry—short is active)
· Size: 479,710 XLM
· Margin: 3,743.65 USDT (Cross 20x)
· Margin Ratio: 17.45%—clean, controlled, breathing room
Now look at the Liquidation Price: 0.17313. That's roughly 10.9% above my entry.
This is the part most traders miss. At 20x leverage, they'd be liquidated on a 5% move. I'm not. Because I built this position knowing exactly where I'm wrong.
XLM pumped, shook out the late shorts, and now it's settling right at my entry. The -3.78% you see? That's just the wick. The people who panic-closed at the bottom are watching price stabilize without them.
This is what real risk management looks like. Not avoiding red, but building positions that survive the volatility.
If you're waiting for everything to turn green before you enter, you'll always be late. The best entries happen when fear is on the screen and leverage tourists are getting flushed.
Do your analysis. Check the liquidation levels. Look at the volume.
Build the position. Trust the structure. Let the market come to you.
