Trading $BEAT, to be honest, I had some pretty bad losses earlier. Later, I thought I could recover some losses with grid trading, but what happened—my opening price is 2.57, and the coin price has already risen to 3. It looks like I should be making money, but my account is still losing. This is ridiculous.

What’s even stranger? My long position inexplicably turned into a short position. So am I trading long or short? In the end, I’m losing money either way, right?

I can understand that trading in the opposite direction will definitely lead to losses, no doubt about that. But the current problem is, the direction is correct, the coin price has risen, and the funding fee is clearly positive. Why am I still losing money in the end? This logic really doesn’t add up. Can anyone explain whether this is an issue with the grid setup or if I’ve misunderstood the fee structure?

The grid trading strategy is indeed a trap. I've also seen situations where short positions fluctuate unpredictably. Maybe your stop-loss was set too low, causing a forced liquidation.

Bro, this grid trading trap is really something else. The coin goes up but you still lose money—I'm truly speechless about this setup. Long turns into short? You need to check your grid parameters; it feels like something is set up incorrectly. Positive fee rate and still paying out? It might be slippage eating up the profits. Details are the devil, brother. I've also fallen into this trap. Sometimes the chart shows a profit, but in reality, it's negative. It's really exhausting. Ask customer service. This logic really doesn't add up; maybe there's a misunderstanding somewhere.

Bro, your grid setup is a bit crazy. Why are long positions turning into short positions? --- The coin's price went up but you're still losing money? This contract black box is really outrageous. I need to pull up the trading records and take a close look. --- Even with positive funding fees, you're still getting cut. I might have overlooked the trading fees. --- $BEAT is just like this. The pitfalls of grid trading are deeper than I imagined. --- Repeatedly switching between long and short? This isn't grid trading, it feels more like gambling with your life. --- The opening price was only 2.57, but the price is 3 and you're still losing? How fierce are the fees? --- The problem might be with the transfer or liquidation mechanisms. You need to check the trading details carefully. --- Grid trading seems stable, but in reality, the fee structure can cut you pretty badly. --- This logic is indeed hard to follow. Feels like the exchange is cheating me.

Bro, this grid is really a trap. Both longs and shorts are losing, it's a total loss. Most of the problem is probably the leverage fees eating up the profits. It's common to appear profitable on the surface but actually be completely wiped out. You should check if there's a setting mistake that caused the position to unexpectedly turn into a short.

Bro, you're really taking this grid trading to the next level, winning both long and short positions, huh? I'm also amazed.

Grid trading is really a trap; when the coin price rises, you end up losing money... I've also encountered such absurd situations. When a long position turns into a short, you should check if automatic stop-loss was triggered.

Bro, is it possible that the platform secretly changed your settings with this shorting operation? I've seen similar pitfalls before; sometimes grid settings can cause automatic reverse trades if there's an issue. It sounds like there might be a problem with the grid profit lock, or maybe the fees have been completely eaten up.
