On the first day of December, the market taught a lesson to a certain brother.
The plunge at 8 AM directly pulled his ETH long position from a profitable state to liquidation. This guy was very confident a while ago and invested 1 million dollars, using high leverage, and at one point he had a floating profit of 2.08 million. As a result, when he woke up this morning, his account only had 360,000 left.
From doubling to halving and then to almost zero, it only took one morning.
Leverage is something that feels great when the market is rising, but it really shows no mercy when it falls. Especially with the volatility of ETH, a big bearish candle can wipe out the positions of many traders. The market is always more brutal than you imagine, especially when you think things are stable.
This round of operations is likely to make many people rethink the issue of position management. After all, no matter how good the numbers on the account look, if they are not cashed in, they are just illusions.

Leverage is truly a double-edged sword; it feels amazing when it rises, but when it falls, it's like going back to square one overnight...

Leverage is truly poison; when it rises, people get carried away, and when it falls, there’s simply no one left.

This guy's liquidation price is problematic, going from 2.08 million in unrealized gains to 360,000, the risk coefficient has exploded.
Yesterday, I saw on-chain data showing a Whale dumping, but I still didn't reduce my position, which aligns perfectly with my gambler's nature.
Leverage is useless no matter how beautiful the backtesting data is; a black swan can wipe it all out.
Wake up, there are no real profits when exiting, it's just a numbers game.
So, the eye of the storm is the safest place, we people have seen through it long ago.

I cannot have a liquidation price when I enter a position because the market changes rapidly.

Really, leverage is just a thing that eats people without spitting out bones.
Waking up to find that more than half of the account has evaporated, how painful must that be?
This guy probably needs to seriously reflect on risk control.
That's how it is in our line of work, making money is great, but losing it feels even better.
So I never dare to play like this, my heart can't take it.
