🤯 What’s Going On Here?
The trader opened both Long and Short positions with Cross 125x Leverage — probably to hedge or experiment with volatility.
📈 Since the price rose, the Long gained while the Short lost the exact same amount.
➡️ Net Result: 0 PNL — no profit, no loss.
⚠️ Key Takeaways for New Traders:
🔹 High leverage (125x) can supercharge gains — and losses.
🔹 Opposite trades on the same pair? They cancel out if the size is equal.
🔹 With Cross Margin, your full balance is on the line — liquidation risk is real.
🧠 Pro Tip:
Start with lower leverage, understand how Entry, Mark Price, and PNL interact, and never trade without a clear plan.
