#香港虚拟资产稳定币监管框架 Have you ever encountered a situation like this? An analyst confidently tells you to short $ETH at a "high position", but the question is—how do you, as a newbie just getting on board, judge what the real high position is?



Here is a little-known operation: when the market is unclear, some old hands will open both long and short positions simultaneously to play the hedge. Prices go up? Long position profits. Prices go down? Short position profits. In a sideways market? Losses on both sides offset each other, and in the end, they can write a review article to gain traffic.

This move is a risk control measure for them, but it could be a trap for you—because you don’t know where they have placed their big bets. With Ethereum being such a mainstream coin with significant volatility, the ones who blindly follow the trades will always be the inexperienced ones.

Highs and lows are all made up by them. If they make money, they brag; if they lose, they blame the market. You really need to be cautious with copy trading. A bunch of arbitrage guys are constantly harvesting newbie traders. Anyone blindly following $ETH trades should really reflect on themselves. Not thinking for yourself is the biggest risk. That trick of opening both long and short positions and then writing a recap—I've seen it too many times. It's a deep game. Beginners really shouldn't listen to all that high or low talk. Get your risk management straight first.

Eh, isn't this just the eyewash I see every day? Who's following whom? --- I've seen through the Hedging order trap long ago; the key is that we have no idea where their chips are. --- Highs and lows are purely nonsense; no one can hit the exact points. Don't listen to analysts' random shouting. --- Here we go again, the new suckers really believe it. The result of blindly copy trading is getting played for suckers. --- I just want to know if these Crypto Veterans trade based on their own advice, or do they just see you as an ATM? --- Hedging is correct, but they use your orders as the hedging objects; that's the real inside story. --- To put it bluntly, it's a gambler's mentality packaged as risk control. It sounds professional, but it's just being a rogue.

This hedging strategy of the old brother is indeed cunning; no matter how you move, you can make a profit, and then the newbies who are slow to realize still have to give them a thumbs up.

Blindly following analysts? I advise you not to, that's just a trap for retail investors. --- Calling tops and bottoms is always hindsight, the ones really making money keep quiet. --- This hedging strategy is really ruthless, no matter how it moves they don't lose, but us? We can only lose. --- Following the ETH hype? Better not, too many people are calling trades. --- Damn, this move is genius, I never thought it could be played this way. --- Newbies are the most likely to fall for these tricks, should have been wary long ago. --- So those who brag about their predictions are mostly just cherry-picking the right trades to show off. --- Is the Hong Kong regulatory framework trying to fix this chaos? Feels like it's still too late.

You're right, I've seen this trick too many times, it's really incredible, how to defend against it? Copy trading is a sure way to get yourself killed, especially those who claim to have risk control but are actually playing people for suckers. When the market is unclear, it’s best to honestly maintain a Short Position; those who insist on entering a position are just the ones being harvested. I just want to know how many people can really judge when the price is high; it feels like everyone is an armchair strategist after the fact. Damn it, I only understood this principle after being played for suckers again, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have listened to those analysts ramble on. The people at Odex are all great storytellers, writing reports on Hedging orders; their marketing is truly exceptional.
