As a beginner, I jumped into HBAR trading with 20x leverage, chasing a price spike I saw hyped on X. I threw in $600, expecting a quick win. The market turned fast—HBAR dropped 5% in hours. My position got liquidated before I could react, wiping out the full $600. Lesson learned: high leverage is brutal without a solid plan. I didn’t set a stop-loss or understand HBAR’s volatility. Now, I study charts, use lower leverage, and always have an exit strategy. That loss stung, but it taught me discipline and respect for risk management. #TradeLessons #TradeStories
