❗Lost $850+ on a Short Trade: A Hard Lesson in BTCUSDT Futures 🚨📉

Yesterday, I took a short position on BTCUSDT Perpetual Futures, expecting the price to drop. My entry price was around $46,200, but instead of going down, the market went against me — closing around $47,100. 💥

🔻 Loss: -$856.40 USDT

Even though it was a calculated trade, this was a reminder that Futures trading is extremely risky, especially when using leverage. One small move in the wrong direction can cost you big. ⚠️
