Having been involved in the derivatives market for over 100 days, the deficit has persisted until now. Looking back, I haven't made much money from these operations.

To those who haven't yet touched leverage, I want to say: don't rush to get in. Experience the rhythm of spot trading carefully, understand the market's temperament, and then decide whether to enter.

And for those already inside? Pause for a moment. Ask yourself: what did I initially want? Steady growth or overnight riches? If the answer has changed, it's time to adjust—reduce your position, lower your leverage, or completely exit.

In fact, leverage is like a door. One side is a paradise of gains, the other side is the hell of liquidation. The problem is, on the hell side, it's already crowded. Every increase in position or chasing highs could be the last straw that breaks the camel's back. Think carefully before acting.

Lost over 100 days, this is my spot trading career. Leverage is really not something humans should play with.

Over 100 days of playing with money, this business is not worth it --- Leverage really is a thing; at first, I thought I was the chosen one --- That's right, the derivatives market is just a meat grinder; everyone who enters pays tuition --- Shrinking positions sounds simple, but the psychological barrier is the hardest when actually doing it --- The dream of getting rich overnight is still worth chasing, but don't go all in, brother --- Only when the margin call happens do you realize what "think twice before acting" really means, but it's too late --- Spot trading is the right path; derivatives are just tools to cut leeks --- Ask yourself what you originally wanted... I’ve already forgotten, I only remember how much I lost --- I’m also in the hell of crowded places, gambling every day whether I will break even tomorrow --- Pause? I stopped long ago, until I ran out of money to keep playing

Losing for over 100 days, this is the true face of leverage If you've been playing spot trading for half a year and still don't quite understand, don't think about rushing in, really To those already inside... ask yourself what you still want, don't let chasing highs become the last straw

Losing over 100 days until now, this is the true portrayal of leverage. I advise people not to get involved first, but some still insist on trying. When the time comes, they'll have nowhere to cry.

ngl, 100+ days of red is just the derivatives market's way of teaching you about opportunity cost... and slashing risk for your portfolio lol
