In the past forty days, my trading account has lost 1.12 million. Looking at just the last month, the loss has reached 810,000.

Reflecting on the lessons learned: mainly, I was trying to catch the bottom breakout in the market, leveraging high positions within small ranges, but all ended in liquidation. It’s not just a one-time loss; what’s more painful is that after multiplying my position sixfold, I gave it all back. Currently, I still have 350,000 on hand in the market, planning to wait until the market stabilizes before re-entering.

This experience has given me the biggest insight: there are really no shortcuts in trading markets. Seemingly precise breakout points are actually just leverage amplifying every wrong decision. High-multiplier operations within small ranges sound like quick profits, but when losses happen, you simply can’t stop.

My mindset has now adjusted quite a bit, and I plan to participate more cautiously with the remaining funds, no longer chasing big one-step gains. Some traders always like to compare with loss figures, but the real comparison should be who can survive and come out of failure.

High leverage is indeed a double-edged sword; it’s exhilarating when you make money, but when you lose... it’s like hell.

Wow, 1.12 million just as tuition fees, considering those who lost everything in a one-shot gamble, it's quite sensible. The key is not risking the 350,000 as well, that's real skill. --- High leverage in small intervals sounds like a money-making machine, but in reality, it's a liquidation pipeline. I've also fallen into that trap. --- Six times the gain and then giving it all back, this kind of mentality is truly torturous... But traders who come out alive are definitely more valuable. --- Waiting for the market to stabilize before entering again, how many times do I have to say this before believing it? But this time, it sounds different. --- There are no shortcuts. Losing money makes you realize that too late. But regret is smarter than always confidently going all-in. --- Leverage is really a devil; it not only amplifies profits but also magnifies your stupidity. You're quite quick to realize this. --- Keeping the 350,000 is a win; don't think about more. Be grateful you didn't go all-in.

Leverage is a double-edged sword; it feels great when you're making money, but you just can't stop when you're losing... The lesson from this 1,120,000 loss is quite heavy.

Leverage is like a magnifying glass; one mistake can amplify your pain tenfold.
