Ladies and gentlemen, I recently came across an interesting trading record. An old-timer has only won once out of 23 trades in his history, yet he managed to rack up a 12-loss streak. And what happened next? Even more intense—11 hours ago, he directly shorted 348.5 ETH with 25x leverage, worth $1.02 million, with an average entry price of $2945.32.

Seeing this data, I have to say—how much courage does that take? But seriously, the underlying issues behind this are worth a good discussion.

One is reverence. The market will never give you favors just because of your dreams. Using money you can't afford to lose to chase high leverage is essentially a battle with your own risk control bottom line. High leverage is like a double-edged sword; while it amplifies gains, losses also grow geometrically. How many people have been wiped out once and never recovered, simply because they didn't understand this principle?

The other is independent thinking. No matter how divine someone looks in the market, never blindly follow trades. You need your own trading system and risk discipline, rather than chasing hot trends or following celebrities. A complete set of trading rules is more effective than anything else.

I won't predict how this particular trade will end. But I suggest everyone remember the average price of $2945 and the 25x leverage. Come back in a few days and take another look—you might see something. This could turn into a vivid, million-dollar risk education lesson.

ETH-1.42%

Ha, only 1 win out of 23 attempts and still dare to go 25x leverage? This guy is really ruthless. 12 consecutive losses and still haven't learned the lesson, how much patience does that take? Warning of liquidation risk, protecting your principal is the key. 25x leverage is basically gambling with fate, I can't understand this kind of courage. A full margin liquidation in one go would be eternal, why bother? This looks like gambling, not trading. But it's definitely worth remembering this price point, a textbook-level negative example. I especially agree with the part about exponential growth of losses, very straightforward. Relying on a star trader for copying trades? You still need your own system. At an average price of 2945 yuan, I bet it will go down in history.

Just won only once out of many games, and still playing with 25x leverage. What is this guy thinking... Still not learned from a 12-game losing streak? A 25x leverage liquidation can happen in minutes. Is a hundred thousand dollars just gone like that? Looking at this average price of 2945, want to place a bet... This guy really treats his trading account like a casino, huh? What is risk control, can you eat it? Shorted 348.5 ETH, his guts are really big, but his mind is a bit... How can you use 25x leverage? That's just asking for death. A living negative example, taking notes...

Damn, this guy is really trading with his life. Dare to short 25x after a 12-loss streak, his mental toughness must be incredible. This is a typical gambler's mentality—losing a lot and then doubling down, ultimately ending in a liquidation. Honestly, trading without risk control discipline is suicide. Look at how many people have been wiped out overnight by high leverage. The price of 2945 is truly a textbook case; just waiting to see how it will end. High risk, high reward sounds great, but once you get liquidated, your account is gone. It's not worth it. Using money you can't afford to lose to leverage is a mistake that will eventually cost you. The market will always settle accounts in the end. If this trade blows up, it will be too tragic—$1.02 million just gone like that. A raw lesson in risk management.

Whoa, 12 consecutive losses and still dare to go 25x? This guy is really bold. Winning once out of 23 bets, normal people would have already collapsed, this guy just goes all-in to teach about liquidation. The gambler's mentality is like this, insisting on using liquidation as a lesson. That average price of 2945 probably will make it to the trending searches on the day of liquidation. Risk control is just a joke, leverage is the real god. Liquidation is like eating, sooner or later it will happen. Using 348.5 ETH to go 25x, how desperate must that be? Watching it makes me anxious for him, surviving the liquidation is the real winner. This is classic loser mentality, losing more and doubling down. Don't learn from this, everyone, this can really lead to bankruptcy. Betting $1.02 million with 25x leverage, how tough must your heart be? Honestly, it’s because there's no system or discipline, no wonder you get cut.

Damn, 12 consecutive losses and still dare to go 25x leverage, is this guy a real warrior or a gambler? Couldn't resist winning just once, will he be able to hold until liquidation this time? Remember this price level at 2945, waiting to see the spectacle. Honestly, risk control sounds very vague, you'll understand after your account gets liquidated once. Using money you can't afford to lose to go all-in, no wonder the market teaches you a lesson. This is the most exciting story in Web3, raw human nature. Don't follow blindly, really, no matter how smart someone looks, they can still crash. 25x leverage, just hearing about it makes my legs weak haha. Come back in a month to see this post, it will probably be another legend.

23 trades only winning once, and still dare to go 25x? This guy's guts are really bold, feels like the next second will be a textbook-style liquidation. --- Wait, after 12 consecutive losses, still have the courage to continue? Either he's very fearless or not very smart, I can't quite tell. --- 1.02 million USD thrown down like this, if it really blows up, it will be a vivid warning example. What a pity. --- Having noted down 2945, just waiting to see if this guy will become a legend or a joke. --- Honestly, this kind of gambling mentality is more dangerous than market risk. People without stop-loss awareness will eventually pay the tuition. --- Going 25x short on ETH, this isn't trading, it's playing Russian roulette, brother.

This guy probably thinks he's creating a perpetual motion machine based on revenge psychology, damn it. Losing 12 times in a row and still daring to bet 25 times the amount, this isn't a big heart, it's just no brains. Betting 1.02 million like that, I can't help but feel nervous for him, a margin call can happen in an instant. Followers should reflect on this; this might really become a textbook negative example. Risk control ultimately lost to gambling instinct, so sad.

Damn, 12 consecutive losses and still daring to short with 25x leverage, this guy is really tired of living. A single liquidation can make you regret it deeply; I've seen too many of these incidents. Trading without a stop-loss discipline is just gambling. Don't ask me how I know. Average price of 2945, this brother is probably going to be trapped for a while. Poor risk control by just one point, and the account loses one point. To put it nicely, it's paying tuition. People who follow others' trades are ultimately cannon fodder; you need to have your own logic. If this trade blows up, it will be a textbook example of a counter-case. Looking at this trading record, honestly, I’m a bit worried for him. High leverage is just a harvesting tool; I stopped messing with that stuff a long time ago.
