#大户持仓动态 Whales also got wrecked? In December, there was only one profit, yet they turned around and opened 25x leveraged short positions. This is just outrageous.
Many people fall into the same trap — a high win rate doesn’t mean they will survive until the end. This is the most painful truth of trading. Comparing two traders with 50% and 95% win rates, the former might survive longer than the latter. Why? Because a 25x liquidation can instantly wipe out all profits.
This brother’s experience in December perfectly illustrates what a "black swan" is. He won, but a single misjudgment, uncontrolled leverage, and his account was wiped to zero.
Breaking through and turning around isn’t difficult; what’s hard is to fix the habit of "adding more when I feel confident." If you don’t understand trading psychology, even a high win rate is useless. You first need to figure out whether you are trading or gambling.

This is the gambler's mentality; once the feeling is good, you can't stop... I've seen too many cases like this, where a higher win rate makes it easier to crash.

25x leverage, this guy is really brave, directly fighting a life-and-death battle with the account.

Greed is really a hard habit to break. Seeing the account grow makes me want to go all in, but one leveraged move and it's all gone. I feel like most people fall here.

Damn, that's why I never dare to touch 25x leverage. One wrong move and everything's gone.

On-chain data shows that this guy's wallet activity in December was very suspicious. A 25x short position wiped out the account in one go, a typical symptom of extreme capital concentration.

A liquidation in one go, and everything is gone. This is the most heartbreaking part of trading.

Having a high win rate is useless; the key is to survive long enough. Without proper mental preparation, even the most skilled traders will kneel.

25x leverage? Bro, this is gambling, not trading.
---
Add more when you feel good; this illness needs treatment. Many people ruin themselves in this one pit.
---
To be honest, a 95% win rate and a 50% win rate are really not much different. One big liquidation and it's all over.

Black swans will always come; the question is whether you can withstand them. Obviously, bro, you couldn't.

Did you think about the risk before opening a 25x short? That's the price of greed.
