Don't remind me again today

When it comes to the phrase "high leverage," many people instinctively shake their heads—it's too risky, it will definitely blow up.



But what is the truth? High leverage itself is not inherently sinful; the problem lies with those who do not know how to use it.

When market sentiment is high, spot prices can rise by 5%, and high leverage can directly double the returns. This is not some mysticism; it is purely a mathematical game. Only by daring to amplify can one potentially reap huge profits. The problem lies in the fact that the vast majority of traders cannot handle this double-edged sword.

Why does liquidation occur?

It's not that the leverage multiplier is too high, but that human nature is too impulsive.

No stop loss, random increasing positions, emotions running high, operating fiercely like a tiger, and in the end, only two lines of tears are left in the account. I've seen this happen too many times—some people talk about stable operations but never set a stop loss; others think about flipping positions quickly, with a mindset more erratic than the candlesticks. This is not trading at all; it's clearly gambling.

Want to turn around with high leverage? You can, but you need to have iron-clad discipline.

Be able to see the direction clearly, keep your hands steady, and be ruthless with stop losses. By achieving these three points, high leverage becomes your wealth accelerator; if you fail to do so, it becomes your grave.

To put it bluntly, leverage is just a magnifying glass. If you have a clear trading logic, it amplifies your profitability; if you lack logic, it amplifies your losses. Some people make steady profits with 10x leverage, while others go bankrupt daily with 3x; the difference lies in "who uses it and how it is used."

So, don't be terrified at the mere mention of leverage, and don't get overly excited and go all in. Understand the market trends, maintain a steady trading mindset, and leverage can help you make money, rather than directly taking your life.

10x leverage always wins vs 3x blowing up every day—at the end of the day, it's a mindset game. Without discipline, you're cannon fodder. You need to prepare your supplies before launching. --- Don't blame high leverage as the original sin. The real problem lies with those who can't help themselves and don't set stop losses. That's not trading, it's gambling. --- "Dare to leverage up to make big profits"—sounds inspiring, but in reality, 99% of people burn through their accounts because of this belief. --- Understand the trend, keep your mindset steady, and set stop losses strictly. Only by doing all three are you qualified to play with leverage. Miss any one, and you're just giving money to the exchange. --- Some people always win with 10x leverage, others get liquidated with 3x. The difference isn't the multiplier, it's their mindset. That's the reality. --- To put it simply, leverage is just a magnifying glass. Without logic, it just magnifies your losses—plain and simple. --- The all-in, full-position mentality is even more erratic than K-lines. In the end, these people always end up closing out in deep regret. I've seen it too many times. --- It's not that the leverage is too high, it's that people are too impulsive. One moment of excitement and they go all in—then all that's left are tears.

You're absolutely right, but the truth is that most people simply can't control their restless hearts. I've seen so many people talk about using leverage to make a comeback, but they end up getting liquidated every other day, and then blame the tools. It's hilarious—that's not a problem with the tools at all.

You are absolutely right. I've seen too many people go all in with a full position and then complain. The key really lies in mindset and discipline.

You are right, I've seen too many people go Full Position and All in, then cry for help... The key is the mindset, really.

It has been proven that it is never the leverage that causes liquidation, but rather a short circuit in human reasoning. I have seen people who can get liquidated daily even with 3x leverage, and I have seen others who can consistently make a living with 10x leverage — the difference lies in whether there is a stop loss in place. It's purely a mathematical problem; if you don't have logic, don't play.

You're not wrong, but I've seen too many people talk about discipline, and then they get liquidated in a single reverse. Leverage itself isn't the problem; the issue is that human nature can't pass this test.

Well... it's true, but I feel like I'm always the one who realizes things too late...

Another article advising me not to Get Liquidated... But it's true, I have seen too many people using 10x leverage and their accounts dropping to zero in three days. Stop loss is like a condom; you know it's useful, but you just don't want to use it.
