#加密生态动态追踪 A call at 2 a.m.

A friend’s voice was urgent: "I used 10,000 USDT to open a 10x leverage position, it only corrected 3%, and my account blew up. How can this happen?" I've heard this kind of plea too many times.

Behind each of these is the same logic—treat leverage as a quick way to get rich, but end up falling into a trap.

Let’s do the math: with 10x leverage, a 10% move against your position will liquidate you. It looks like a "only 3% correction," but under the magnifying glass of leverage, this already far exceeds the liquidation line. The principal evaporates directly—it's not an accident, but mathematics.

Leverage is a double-edged sword. It amplifies profits but also magnifies losses instantly. Many people enter the market full of hope, but never truly calculate—what risk they are taking to pursue what reward.

Those who survive in this market often follow these trading principles:

• Never go all-in lightly, leave yourself an exit
• If using leverage, you must set a stop-loss—that’s not optional
• Position management is always more critical than predicting market direction

It's harsh, but this is reality. Opportunities in the crypto world are never lacking. What’s missing are traders who can withstand volatility and stay alive long enough.

If you've experienced these late-night panic moments, take a moment to reflect: what you really need may not be higher leverage, but a trading system that lets you sleep soundly. Return to rationality, focus on long-term thinking—this is the way out.
