#特朗普撤销欧盟关税威胁 Leverage trading is like wielding a double-edged sword — many newcomers pick it up and their minds are filled with illusions of "good news."



$XMR with five times leverage? In imagination, it's "a 20% increase doubles the account," but in reality, it's not so gentle. The same 20% drop, and your principal is gone in an instant. Even more outrageous are fifty or hundred times leverage — that's not trading, that's writing a script for your own liquidation.

The scariest part isn't the leverage tool itself, but the self-deception of those who use it. Everyone knows the principle that profit and loss come from the same source, but most people only see the shining "profit" side and turn a blind eye to the bottomless black hole of "loss." Risks will never bypass you just because you take chances — they are just waiting for the right moment.

Looking at it from another perspective, those in the crypto space who don't use leverage can easily outshine 90% of overly aggressive retail traders with their positions. But here's the problem — human greed always wants to grasp the sharpest sword, forgetting a simple truth: swords are double-edged, and the tighter you hold, the deeper the wound.

Those who can truly survive in the market for the long term are never the ones with the biggest guts or the most pressure. Instead, they are those who have long understood that "not using leverage itself is a sign of trading strength." They understand risk, and they understand restraint.

Honestly, this article hits the nail on the head. The group using fivefold leverage is just digging their own graves. Everyone understands the risks in theory, but when it comes to money, the brain short-circuits. What can I say, just staying alive is winning. Why bother with that all-in gambling approach?

People are starting to advise against using leverage again, but the reality is that no one can control their own greedy heart. Honestly, even five times leverage is considered gentle. Everyone around is playing with fifty times leverage and still making money, so I just get tempted. Liquidation stories are always other people's stories, until it happens to you and you realize what regret truly means. Living without leverage definitely improves quality of life, but people just want to take shortcuts. Who wants to save up slowly? Risks are always there; it's just that people are always betting that they won't come.

The 5x leverage liquidation rate fitted from historical data, with annualized risk exposure directly tripling, this calculation is simply unmanageable. The kind of 100x... I directly categorize it as "suicide arbitrage," mathematically it’s a negative expected value game. I agree that living longer without leverage is better; the optimal capital efficiency solution is to stay alive.

Honestly, I've heard too many people praise the fivefold leverage setup, but what happened? They all ended up lying flat in the settlement slips. Getting cut by a knife isn't something you learn after the first time. Days without leverage are indeed comfortable, and your mindset won't feel like a roller coaster every day. I've seen too many people with shining eyes say they want to go all-in, only to disappear three months later. Risks never sleep; they're just waiting for that one greedy moment of yours.
