The market is clearly volatile tonight. If you're engaging in hedging or arbitrage trading, be sure to set proper stop-losses. When the market is so turbulent, trading without a stop-loss is like going naked—appears to make a profit from the spread, but a sudden reverse gap can wipe it all out. Don't wait until liquidation to regret it.

The metaphor of running naked is perfect, really. So many people get wiped out this way. Setting a stop-loss isn't being cowardly; it's about surviving to see the next wave.

The analogy of going naked is hilarious. Last time, I didn't set a stop-loss and got hit hard by a reverse gap. Now I get scared at the slightest fluctuation.

I've seen many naked trading, and in the end, it's always one word—disaster. Stop-loss is easy to talk about, but when it comes to the critical moment, it's a real test of your psychology.

Stop-loss is easy to talk about but hard to do. I've already suffered several losses, each time thinking "this wave will definitely recover"… and it never did.

Naked trading is really asking for trouble. I got wiped out once like that last year, and now I always set a stop loss on every trade.

I've seen plenty of naked trading, and it's just one word:惨. Stop-loss is really not an option, brother.

Going all-in without a stop-loss is really stupid. I've seen quite a few brothers lose everything in one shot.

I've been liquidated again, just talking about myself. That's what I thought that day too, but as soon as the borrowing rate skyrocketed, the risk control points were gone.
