Speaking of which, every time I’m worried about not having any trades, ZEC on one hand provides opportunities to go long, and on the other hand offers chances to go short—truly a god of wealth.
By the way, here’s a little tip: every time I recommend a 1x long or short position, my full position leverage is usually 2x or 3x, but the actual holdings are still at 1x, mainly to free up margin for opening other trades and adding positions.
However, this situation is relatively rare.
After shorting in three separate transactions at 1x, I only switch leverage if I’m particularly sure, and at that point, the forced liquidation level is also roughly halved.
So, this kind of situation, even after trading for so long, is quite uncommon.
The most memorable instance was when I shorted ETH at 3400, which happened once before.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced trader, it’s important to pay attention— even if you set your full position leverage to 200x, you must remember your actual leverage level.
The only purpose of doing so might be to attract attention, but most of the time it just attracts gamblers, so I’ve given up on that.
Of course, it can also be to satisfy oneself with exaggerated returns, but the profit amount doesn’t change.
