Don't remind me again today

Many people think that using leverage can quickly double their investment, but those who truly understand know that this thing is a double-edged sword.



Are you leveraging 2x? If the market drops by 50%, you'll go to zero. Sounds okay? Then take a look at what follows:

With 5x leverage, a 20% drop will lead to liquidation. With 10x leverage, a 10% retracement means you have to say goodbye. At 20x leverage, a 5% fluctuation can leave you bankrupt.

Here comes the exaggeration: With 30x leverage, you can only withstand a 3.33% drop, with 50x there's only a 2% margin for error, and what about 100x? If the market just sneezes (1%), your position is gone.

The cryptocurrency market is inherently volatile, with many coins easily experiencing a daily fluctuation of 5%-10%. High leverage is not unusable, but you need to be clear about what you are playing with—this is not investing; it's dancing on the edge of a knife. Risk control is always more important than profit.

More than 20 times leverage is purely looking for death; I've seen too many people go all in, and they disappeared in three months. --- 100 times leverage is ridiculous; it's no different from gambling. --- What you said about risk control is correct, but the reality is that 99% of people can't do it at all. --- With 5 times or less, you can still sleep soundly; anything above that is playing with your life. --- A 1% fall directly wiping out everything? It's better to buy a lottery ticket. --- High leverage is a sucker shredder, precise. --- Knowing that risk control is important and actually executing it are two different things, buddy. --- A daily fluctuation of 5%-10% is very normal; with high leverage, just a little bump and you're done. --- This article should be posted on the exchange's homepage for newcomers to see. --- I used to play with 20 times leverage; I lost a year's salary in two weeks and never touched it again.
