I'm just a cautionary tale. I initially wanted to open a position with 3,000 yuan, but I accidentally pressed one zero too many, and it suddenly became 30,000. Now the liquidation price is just 22 yuan, and I'm really on edge. This money is what I saved up over the entire year, and watching a single mistake could wipe it all out. At that moment, I was so regretful that I felt sick to my stomach; I realized how dangerous leverage trading really is — it looks like just pressing one more key, but the risk is instantly multiplied tenfold. I'm now praying that the market won't fall further, or else my year's savings will be lost. This has been a painful lesson for me: before making any trade, always double-check, confirm the position size, and never operate casually again.

Dropping multiple zeros by mistake is crazy. I just want to ask, are you doing okay now, brother?

Bro, that slip was really incredible. A one-zero difference almost wiped it all out.

A slip of the finger and a zero, and the entire year's money is gone. This is the deadly poison of leverage.

Oh my god, a slip of a zero caused a direct crash. How reckless are you? Just watching makes me nervous for you. That's why I never touch leverage; the risks are truly outrageous. All my savings for the year, brother. I hope the market stops messing around. This lesson was really costly. In the future, I must develop the habit of confirming three times before trading. Being cautious is never too much. Honestly, a position of 30,000 is already quite large for you. Luckily, you reflected in time.

Carelessly pressing zero, I really can't laugh about it. Tenfold leverage directly taking off, this is the daily life of crypto.

Oops, the cost of that slip-up was really huge. One zero almost wiped out a year's worth of hard-earned money. Playing with leverage is like dancing on the edge of a knife.

Oh no, this is a typical case of "quality leverage getting out of control." One-click tenfold, directly plunging from playability (risk management) into the abyss.
