The story of my next crash in futures.
Again. A few days of positive trading in futures — and everything went according to the usual scenario. I felt on top of the world. The days when I earned $200 or more seemed like the beginning of a new life. One thought kept spinning in my head: restaurants, branded clothing, Uber Black, cars that I wanted to rent just for the thrill — everything seemed possible. Money flowed like a river. I started to believe that I had deciphered the market. That it would always be like this from now on.
And then — a sleepless night. Margin call. Disrupted rhythm of life. Fatigue. Panic. Silence after liquidation. The price went the wrong way, as always — sharply and mercilessly. It seemed that if I just waited a little longer, everything would return. It didn't return. I was left with nothing.
The irony is that this is not the first time. I know this path by heart. And yet, I still step on the same rake.
If you are currently in profit — especially if you are trading futures with leverage higher than 5x — you must understand: you are doomed. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but you will be wiped out. Systematically, cold-bloodedly, unemotionally. Because the market does not forgive arrogance. And leverage is not a profit amplifier, it is a timer for your liquidation.
Take care of yourself. It's better to break even and walk away than to stay and lose everything. $STRK $ETH
