High-volatility cryptocurrencies fluctuate rapidly, making risk management crucial. When encountering such coins experiencing another surge, some traders choose to reduce their positions on the rise while increasing margin to hedge their risk—seemingly able to improve their operation space by 30u. But in practice? Instead of making a profit, this trade resulted in a loss of 1000-2000 yuan. It sounds heartbreaking, but it highlights a real issue: relying solely on leverage to pursue gains often falls into a vicious cycle of increasing costs. Traders need to reassess their position sizing and risk control strategies rather than blindly adding more.

Leverage is just a trap; the more you add, the deeper you go...

Oh no, this is a classic case of greed taking over. Thinking that leverage can save the situation, but ending up adding positions in a suicidal manner.

Really, leveraging is like an addiction, again and again, and eventually the account is gone.

It's the same old trick again—leveraging for hedging, only to be taught a lesson by the market in return. Classic.
