Lesson from a real trade: how 25x leverage wipes out the deposit in minutes

Situation: the trader opened a short position on FARTCOINUSDT with 25x leverage. The price moved against them by only ~11% — and the loss amounted to -259%, almost all margin was burned.

Why did this happen:

1. High leverage.

With 25x leverage, even a 4% price movement can wipe out the position. Here, the price dropped more, and the margin almost disappeared.

2. No stop-loss.

When there is no pre-established exit point, the market can wipe out the deposit in one movement.

3. Emotional hope instead of strategy.

At the moment of loss, the trader hopes for a reversal, but the market is not obliged to go in the desired direction.

Conclusions for everyone:

With leverage greater than 10x, you are not investing, but playing in a casino.

Always set a stop-loss, even if you are "confident" in the trade.

Do not risk your entire margin on one position. Split your capital into parts.

If you see a loss that already exceeds your limit — exit without hesitation.

Survival formula for futures:

Lost 10% → easy to recover.

Lost 100% → there's nothing left to recover.
