Predicting market bets is a painful lesson—always place your sell orders in advance.

Take today’s match as an example: Manchester United versus Manchester City, the first half was 3:0, but in the end it was changed to 2:0. Who could have predicted such a reversal? I saw the over 2.5 goals bet, and it was wiped out in the last few minutes. Those quick enough to withdraw could still escape, but I, as an old brother, didn’t react in time, and my account was instantly wiped to zero.

So now I understand—rather than waiting for the final miracle, it’s better to place your sell orders at high levels. This way, you can at least control the pace before the variables come into play, instead of passively watching your funds evaporate.

We really can't hold on anymore. Not selling at high prices is just waiting to die.

Oh no, another bizarre plot twist, I love it, I love it --- Being too slow with your hands means death. Honestly, predicting the market is so intense --- How painful was it at the moment of zeroing out? I just want to ask, who could have predicted that --- You should have exited at the high point long ago. This lesson is so costly --- Sweeping orders in the last few minutes of trading, now that's some impressive operation --- Feel the despair instantly when it turns from green to red --- It's okay to place sell orders early, better than watching it evaporate --- The Manchester City vs. Manchester United match was truly outrageous, a big win for the underdog

3:0 to 2:0? That's ridiculous. No wonder I run away whenever I see a high position now.

It seems like a classic risk management issue... The last few minutes of order sweeping indeed teach you a lesson, but to be honest, placing sell orders in advance can't completely avoid slippage—it's still easy to experience slippage during liquidity exhaustion. From an engineering perspective, this is more like a design flaw in position management and risk exposure, rather than just an execution speed problem.
