Wow, this guy added to his position again? A short position of 276 million with a floating profit of 5.62 million—his guts are really something... The margin is over 100%, yet he still dares to play like this. He's probably betting on BTC to keep falling, or he's just waiting to be liquidated.

Bro, you're using leverage really aggressively. Dare to add positions with a 106% margin requirement? Once it rebounds, you'll be liquidated in minutes.
