Got blown up again, damn it.

Every time I make a big profit, something weird always happens—either I get targeted and harvested, or my account suddenly shrinks for no reason. This time was even more ridiculous.

Work was a mess this morning, so I forgot to turn off my automated strategy, and it ended up targeting BOB. I had set up several layers of logic, but things fell apart at the market cap screening stage—CoinMarketCap and Coinglass had mismatched data, causing the key trigger condition to fail completely.

So what happened? The entire position got liquidated, $110,000 evaporated in an instant. To make things worse, my BTC short at 9.32 from yesterday got force-closed as well.

I’m honestly speechless.

Swear to God, if I touch automated trading again, I’m… well, never mind, I’ll probably try it again next time. But I’ve learned my lesson this time: always do redundancy checks across multiple data sources. Never count on a single API to be 100% reliable.

BOB-4.29%

BTC0.58%

Data source failure is indeed a setback. It's a bit late to learn this lesson now... Cross-verifying with multiple APIs should really become standard practice.

data mismatch between cmc & coinglass literally the move that kills portfolios lmao... single api dependency is basically asking to get liquidated

Daring to go all-in without data matching, is this out of spite or risking your life? $110,000 evaporated just like that, and the BTC short was liquidated too—truly unbelievable. When CoinMarketCap and Coinglass disagree, you end up being the sucker. Remember next time, multi-source verification isn't a suggestion, it's a must. Automated trading is a double-edged sword—feels great when you're winning, but one wrong move and you lose big. You should've realized long ago that unreliable APIs are a problem. How big of a loss do you need to finally learn your lesson? This time, the tuition fee really hurt.

Data source desynchronization is really a nightmare. When CMC and Coinglass disagree, you’re the one who suffers the most. --- $110,000 evaporated—this is the price of automation, my friend. --- Is BOB really that volatile? Or is it just pure bad luck? --- Feels like every time you make a big profit, fate always has to mess with you. Isn’t that what they say? --- Redundant verification makes sense, but it’s such a hassle to actually implement. --- Forget about making promises, we’re all the same kind of people. --- Getting your BTC short forcibly liquidated is even worse—one wave wipes out two waves of gains. --- Forgetting to disable a strategy is such a rookie mistake, but I’ve done it too. --- When data doesn’t match, the API provider should take the blame. So frustrating. --- Remember to keep some principal next time you test.

It's really unbelievable when the data sources don't match up; I've been burned by it too. A single API just doesn't cut it.

This is the fate of automation—when data sources conflict, the accounts have to pay the price. We keep saying we’ll fix it next time, but end up stuck in the same cycle. The BOB pit is pretty deep, but paying 110,000 in tuition is definitely too much. With so many API pitfalls, how could you dare to rely on a single data source? Got wrecked by automation again—numb to it now. Reminds me of previous times—just waiting for the next crash. CoinMarketCap and Coinglass not matching up is super common, but you only feel the pain when it actually hits you. Forget about making promises—I'll probably still play with automation next week.

The data source desynchronization is really unbelievable; our industry is just this frustrating.
