Looking at the $RIVER trading mechanism, it's really outrageous. During bullish trends, the fees are kept unnaturally low and updated every 4 hours. But as soon as a downtrend begins, the fees immediately double, resulting in heavy losses. It's like a machine for the bears to harvest the retail traders. I carefully reviewed my trading records and found an interesting pattern — every long position I opened ended up at the bottom of the loss, while short positions made big profits. Over time, I really only want to open short positions now. Isn't this just the market's way of teaching us a lesson? I wonder if anyone else has similar trading habits.

Haha, me too. The bullish trend is really hopeless. Might as well give up and go short directly.

This mechanism is outrageous. When prices rise, fees are extremely low; when they fall, they double. Purely a way to harvest retail investors.

I'm directly caught up in this fee structure, it's really incredible. --- Every long position is a gift; only shorting truly makes money. This pattern is effective. --- $RIVER's mechanism is basically teaching people how to short. --- The fee doubling just now, I was stunned. --- Longs are all losing, shorts are all winning. Is this really trading or being manipulated? --- Updating every 4 hours is really a trap; reactions are too slow. --- Looking at your trading record, I understand now. This is what you get from being beaten by the market. --- Your short positions are all large, what does that indicate? --- With such fee strategies, the short sellers are definitely the boss.

Bear markets indeed favor short positions, but your trading record sounds like you've been beaten up pretty badly in the crypto world. --- $RIVER's fee structure is really clever, it's clearly designed to cut into your profits. --- Every time I go long, I end up losing at the bottom, haha, you must be really unlucky to develop that kind of skill. --- If you want to go short, just do it. Anyway, the bulls haven't made you any money, right? --- Isn't this just experience gained from being trapped? Next time, don't be so decisive. --- The fee doubling is truly outrageous, it feels like $RIVER is designed to trap the bulls. --- Bro, what's going on with your trading record? Are you always trying to buy the dip at the top? --- The short side is really winning big, your record is a perfect reverse indicator. --- But speaking of shorting, it also depends on skill. Don't get overconfident just because you've won a few trades in a row. --- The market teaches us this way: losing money repeatedly will naturally lead to strategy adjustments.
