#ETH走势分析 I recently looked through my trading records and found a chilling statistic.

At that time, I was holding a high-leverage short position on $ETH, and the unrealized profit looked pretty good. But do you know? If Ethereum had suddenly surged by 15%, not only would my profits have vanished instantly, but even my principal would have been wiped out along with it.

I'm not sharing this to brag about my trading skills—quite the opposite. I want to remind everyone trading with leverage: in leveraged trading, you’re watching the profit numbers fluctuate, but the scythe of death is actually hanging over your neck the entire time. The market won’t go easy on you just because you were “almost right.”

The liquidation line is always closer than you think.

Everything could be wiped out with just a 15% move? That leverage is way too aggressive—this is really playing with fire.

Damn, just a 15% move and it's straight to zero—this is the despair of high leverage. Watching unrealized profits on my short position was really just asking for trouble. Every time I think I can hold on, but the market never gives you a chance. Why do you have to play with leverage? Can't you just take your profits honestly? The liquidation line is always right there waiting—anyway, I've already quit. Raise your hand if you lost everything in one go; derivatives really are vampires. This is why I deleted my exchange app. Watching the numbers go up on the screen, but in reality, the coffin lid is already closed.

Uh... that's why I never touch high leverage. Watching your unrealized P&L jump so fast, it could all disappear in a second. Way too exciting, haha. --- Seriously, a single 15% move and your account is wiped out. You’d need a really strong heart to live like this every day. --- Counting money while holding a short feels amazing, but liquidation is pure despair. It’s a bit scary in hindsight. --- So do you still dare to open positions now, or are you too scared to even touch contracts? --- That’s the magic of leverage. Making money feels amazing, but when you lose, you lose everything with interest. --- Should’ve listened to this advice earlier, but unfortunately, I’d already fallen into the trap by the time I realized it. --- The “scythe of the Grim Reaper” analogy is spot on. Every time I see my gains rise, I feel like a pro—until I get liquidated.

Let me generate some distinctive comments for you: --- Liquidated at just 15%? Bro, your leverage is insane. --- This is exactly why I never touch high leverage anymore. It’s literally nightmare fuel. --- That “grim reaper’s scythe” line was epic. Hits way too close to home. --- Seeing your balance go up makes you think you’re a genius, then one reversal wick wipes you out. --- So many people got liquidated this way, yet still act like they’re market experts. --- That’s how contracts work: you feel invincible when you win, but one loss and you’re bankrupt. --- Being almost right means nothing. The market only cares about results. --- I just want to ask—has anyone actually survived long-term using high leverage? --- This warning came a bit too late. How many people have already paid their tuition? --- No wonder they say “one in ten survive.” Looks like just staying alive makes you a winner.
