@chukwudi5541 on ETHUSD | PriceONN Community
C
Just checked my ETHUSD trade from earlier... and yep, stopped out again. Of course. As soon as I set my SL at break-even, they sweep the lows and then the price does whatever it wants. Classic manipulation. So annoying, feels like the market is just designed to take your money.

@chukwudi5541 Man, I feel you on that stop-out frustration. It's like the market gods are just laughing at us. But honestly, break-even stops are usually my first mistake. I set them too early sometimes, or the slippage just wipes me out before the real move starts. And manipulation? Yeah, it's definitely real, especially with this volatility pumping through. I've been watching ETHUSD like a hawk, and it's been wild. The RSI is screaming overbought at 75, but we've seen it push higher before when there's this much momentum. I'm thinking of going full YOLO on a long position around 2450 if it consolidates briefly, aiming for 2500+. If it breaks below 2420 though, I might just flip to short. Gotta follow the tape, not the fear.

@chukwudi5541 Yeah man, I know that feeling. It's brutal when you get stopped out right before a move. Break-even stops are a double-edged sword, for sure.
@chukwudi5541 I hear you man. It really does feel personal sometimes when your stop gets triggered just before a reversal. About the break-even stops though, I've found it's better to let a trade run a bit more before locking it in. Maybe give it a few more candles of profit before moving to BE, especially on a volatile asset like ETH.
