#MSCI未排除数字资产财库企业纳入范围 The first time I played with leverage, I stayed up for two consecutive nights, turning a principal of 3,500 USD into 32,000 USD. At that moment, I truly felt like "I've had an epiphany," inflated beyond reason, even fantasizing about buying a sports car.
But what happened? The market suddenly reversed, dropping 18% in five minutes. Twenty times leverage was like paper being pierced through—two thousand USD vanished before my eyes. The notification sound on my phone was more unbearable than shattering glass. That moment, I finally understood: the crypto world never targets anyone; it’s a trap waiting for greedy people to jump in themselves.
In the days that followed, my respect for position sizing exceeded my respect for many other things.
Now, trading rules have become very straightforward: • Any position should occupy no more than 2% of the total funds, just like a shooter only loading one bullet • Stop-loss must be set before entering the trade, no last-minute panic setting • When making profits, withdraw in batches and convert to real-world items—like a good meal or a book—so that the numbers truly have warmth
I still miss out on those hundredfold opportunities, and the market occasionally slaps me in the face, but my account’s K-line is starting to trend upward steadily. When I turn off the trading app at 11 PM, I feel very peaceful inside.
No longer dreaming of getting rich, just focusing on making sure my account is still there and my heartbeat is normal after each close— that’s enough.
If you’re also struggling in the crypto world right now, don’t rush to chase the highs. First, equip yourself with this "safety device": 1. Keep leverage below 3x 2. Divide your funds into 5 parts and use them in rotation 3. Write down impulsive ideas as specific trading plans, with pen and paper
The market won’t run away; opportunities are there every day. The problem is, you first need to learn how to survive in volatility before you can seize those big trends. Position management isn’t limiting you; it’s like an insurance rope during a high-altitude jump—crucial for saving your life at critical moments. $RIVER $LIGHT

Twenty times leverage, wiped out in five minutes—I've heard this story too many times. The key is that someone actually learns a lesson.

Twentyfold leverage liquidation in five minutes... Watching this gave me chills, it’s exactly the same as my experience last year. But on the other hand, truly understanding this is the beginning of making money. People who haven't experienced huge losses don't understand what it means to respect the market.

That moment of 20x leverage really felt like the Grim Reaper saying hello. Speaking of which, making 32,000 yuan and still being able to tell the story is already considered good luck. That's just how the crypto world is.
