Do you think you are trading? No. You are stepping into a carefully programmed digital trap set by the exchange itself. Leverage is not a tool to help you get rich—it is the countdown clock to the moment you get liquidated. And who set that clock? It is the exchange, with algorithms designed to turn your money into their profit.
You have $100 and choose 10x leverage. You think you are holding the power of $1,000. But in reality, you are putting yourself in an extremely risky situation: just a 5% market move in the opposite direction, and you get liquidated. Everything is not random—that is a meticulously calculated strategy. Exchanges track 'liquidity zones', create sudden long 'wicks', and trigger a cascade of liquidations as precisely as a scalpel. Every time you lose, they gain.
Unlike the spot market, leveraged trading does not give you time to recover. There is no opportunity to 'hold your losses', no 'hold until it bounces back'. When the market unexpectedly reverses, you have no chance—you are forced out of the game. Your position is not 'held'—it is hunted. Every sudden price spike, every sudden drop, every stop loss sweep? The exchange knows you in advance. It is not just volatility. It is rigged.
What is the Real Path?
It is slow growth, without leverage, and absolute discipline. Keep your assets out of reach of liquidation tools. Don't give the exchange a chance to drain your pockets with those 'wick sweeping' moves. Build your wealth patiently. Win quietly. Because the house always wins—unless you refuse to play by their rules.
