You guys love trading stories so I’ll share my personal favorite This was in 2021-22 I think I wanted to do a simple basis trade on $BTT, but since it had very little depth it was gonna be difficult to get a good execution Being young and an imbecile, I figured I could just spoof the BTT market and get filled for cheap So I started posting large walls and slowly opened my positions. Maybe 2 minutes after I started, somebody offloaded 80k worth of BTT-perp on my ass. The orderbook was empty, I had no way to get rid of the tokens efficiently, and if that wasn’t enough, the dude started cleaning the bids in the orderbook I panicked and decided to offload everything into him and just paid for the slippage I was fuming even though deep down I knew I had just gotten owned at my own game Naturally, as we all do, I went on Discord to cry about it to my friends Once I was done venting, one of my friend goes “Beni I was on the other side of that trade, I am sorry” I have never participated in such shenanigans since, I got the message loud and clear market gods

I shared this story in @illustratealpha interview If you want to read the rest I’ll post the link below
