#2026年比特币价格展望 The Big Pitfalls in Trading Revealed: The 3 Traps I Fell Into That You Must Avoid💣
In the crypto world, making money is like a snail crawling, while losing money can send you off a cliff in an instant. Over the years, I've stumbled many times in digital asset trading, and today I’ll openly share the 3 most painful mistakes—especially those that beginners love to make, like the "leverage trap" and "chasing highs and selling lows." These two can directly cause your account to plunge. Honestly, if someone had pointed this out to me earlier, I could have saved at least 100,000 yuan.
Let's start with the most brutal one: many people think that increasing leverage is a shortcut to quick turnaround, but in reality, it's playing with fire. Mainstream coins like $BTC can easily wipe out your margin with just a slight fluctuation. Also, many rush in when they see the price rising sharply—what seems like a steady upward channel can reverse and crash at any moment. I’ve organized specific cases and data into three tables to show how to survive these pitfalls👇

Leverage... I'll just say one thing, I've seen so many people get liquidated overnight, I really don't want to see it anymore.
Chasing highs and selling lows is the most reckless, it feels like giving money to the market makers.
These three pitfalls are indeed classic, a must-avoid series for newcomers.
I want to see those three tables of yours, I feel they could save lives.
Crypto is like this, earning slowly and dying quickly, it's so true.
When the margin is wiped out, my heart is shattered.
The higher the leverage multiple, the bigger the dreams, but the faster the losses.
When chasing highs, your mind isn't working, and by the time you realize it, you're already trapped.

Leverage is really an accelerator for losing money; I've been scammed many times too.
Chasing gains and selling off during dips is just giving away money. I should have understood this principle long ago.
I've definitely fallen into these three traps before, and now I'm more cautious.
I feel nervous for those still playing with 5x or 10x leverage.
A margin call can happen in just one second; it's terrifying.

Leverage, to put it simply, is about amplifying your mistakes, not your gains. I've seen too many people go all-in and get liquidated immediately; what I feel sorry for are those principal amounts.

Leverage is really a trap. My friend was liquidated last month, and 100,000 yuan just disappeared.
Chasing gains and selling at a loss is reckless; every time, they get cut at a high point.
This article is very honest; a must-read for beginners.
The lesson from 100,000 yuan hurts a bit, but it's worth it.
Mainstream coins are so volatile, no wonder so many people are losing money.

Leverage is really poison. I've been caught in it too, going all-in once and losing three times in a row...

Leverage is really amazing. I was also impulsive and went all-in with 5x leverage, but one slip-up and it was gone.
