A man — smart, confident, and experienced — just lost $1.5 million on Binance.
Not because the market crashed.
Not because of some unexpected bad luck.
But because of one reckless decision.
He opened a 75x long on a highly volatile coin.
No stop loss.
No hedge.
No risk management.
The market dipped just 1%… and he got liquidated instantly.
All of it — gone in a blink.
Why?
Because he traded with ego, not strategy.
He ignored the basics that protect even the best traders.
Let this be your wake-up call:
Even the most skilled traders can fall if they ignore the rules.
So how do you avoid the same fate?
1. Hedge your trades
Open a small trade in the opposite direction — like a short if you’re long.
It won’t erase losses, but it will soften the blow if things go wrong.
2. Use a trailing stop loss
It follows your trade as it moves up, locking in profits.
If the market turns, you exit — before it gets ugly.
Set it at 1–2%, and let it protect you.
These tools are there for a reason.
They could’ve saved him.
They can save you, too.
