Bonk Guy: After suffering an eight-figure loss, he lost millions more due to overtrading; sometimes the best move is to stay out of the market
PANews October 25 reported that trader Bonk Guy (Unipcs) published a review of his trading lessons. He disclosed that October 10, 2025 due to a major CEX systemic failure, his one-day loss reached eight figures, marking the largest single-day loss of his career and attracting media attention. In the weeks to months that followed, he continued to overtrade in his haste to recover his losses and prove himself, losing millions more USD. Unipcs reflected that if he had forced himself to stop trading for several months or even longer at the time, he could have become a better trader. He emphasized that skills and experience are insufficient to consistently outperform the market; success often depends on market conditions, timing, and luck. Advantages in different market conditions cannot be simply replicated. Sometimes the best move is to stay out of the market and wait for the next genuine window of opportunity.
