I have 5,000 USDC idle in my account and want to completely convert it into a single USDT position. I decided to make a big move with this money. I opened a short position of 160 ETH to fully liquidate, with price fluctuations every second in the hundreds of dollars range.

Holding such a large position truly offers a unique experience. The distance between doubling and liquidation can sometimes be just a few hours. The heartbeat-accelerating feeling when watching the market is both an extreme thrill and a severe test for traders.

Recently, I’ve been studying a 10-minute level event contract trading strategy, currently in a free testing period (8 days available). This approach has many interesting applications in high-volatility environments. Interested traders can take a closer look to see if they can find some insights to incorporate into their own trading systems. In this market, everyone’s risk tolerance is different, so finding a method that suits your own rhythm is the most important.

160 ETH short positions? Are you guys playing for fun or playing with money? --- Hundreds of dollars fluctuation per second... Just imagining it makes my heart irregular. --- Daring to do this with only 5000 USDC, your courage is indeed enough. --- The idea of doubling and getting liquidated within a few hours sounds really a bit scary. --- Can a 10-minute level strategy survive in this kind of market? I'm really curious. --- Looking at the size of this position, I just want to say: good morning, high-risk player. --- 160 ETH, if it blows up, that must hurt a lot. --- But on the other hand, finding your own rhythm is the key, and that makes sense.

160 ETH short position? Bro, are you serious? Fluctuations of hundreds of dollars in a few seconds—how strong is your heart? Really, with this volatility, one liquidation and it's gone. I'm nervous just watching. A 10-minute level strategy sounds interesting, but high volatility really increases the risk of a blow-up. It all depends on your risk appetite. This kind of position size is definitely exciting, but I still prefer a more conservative pace. I don't want to experience a liquidation again. 160 ETH, no wonder you're bleeding every second. This is a gambler's level of setup.

160 ETH short... Bro, are you a gambler? I'm really timid; just watching the fluctuations of a few hundred dollars per second makes me anxious. I understand the feeling of a racing heart, but liquidation and doubling only happen within a few hours. That sounds like self-hypnosis. 10-minute level strategies? Honestly, that frequency is too crazy for me. I prefer stable holdings and a good sleep, but I have to admit, experts are the ones who dare to play this way.

160 ETH short positions, how strong must that heart be? I start breaking out in a cold sweat just watching the market for five minutes. Liquidation and doubling are really just a news flash apart—too exciting and too dangerous. This level of position size truly tests human nature. If you're not a professional trader, you simply can't withstand that kind of pressure. Fluctuations of hundreds of dollars per second—just watching the numbers jump can drive someone crazy, so you still need to stay rational and make decisions. I'd rather keep a small position honestly, or else such big moves could bankrupt me in minutes.

160 short positions? This guy is really ruthless. I wouldn't even dare to imagine how this magnitude would fluctuate. Liquidation is just a few hours away from doubling? Easy to say, how strong must one's mentality be? 10-minute level strategies sound good, but I wonder if the actual trading will be as perfect as the backtest. What about risk management? Managing such a volume of orders is really challenging psychologically. Using 5000 USDC to leverage 160 ETH, this leverage is quite something. Praying not to become the next liquidation case.
