A trader recently staged a rollercoaster with high leverage trading. He started with $10,000 and, through continuous rollover operations, increased his unrealized profit to $940,000, amplifying the entire process by 93 times. Sounds exciting, right? But this is a typical example of going against the grain—the margin call price and the current price have almost no buffer space.

As a result, last night BTC experienced a correction, and this trader's position was immediately liquidated. The $940,000 unrealized profit evaporated in an instant, leaving only $160,000 in the pocket. On paper, he still made a profit, but in terms of the entire operation, this is a classic illustration of extreme leverage trading—profits grow in a ladder-like fashion, while risks plummet straight down. The high-leverage rollover strategy is indeed thrilling, but for most people, the cost often exceeds expectations.

This is a typical case of greed leading to downfall, watching unrealized gains feels great, but a single correction and they're gone. 93x leverage? Bro, you're gambling with your life, not trading. Fortunately, I didn't blow everything up; taking home 160,000 is better than zero, but this trading approach really discourages. I've seen this kind of operation too many times, always feeling like the chosen one, only to end up being liquidated in a textbook manner. Going from 10,000 to 940,000 sounds exciting, but it's really like dancing on the edge of a knife—one misstep and it's gone.

940,000 instantly gone, can you not be devastated... This is the true face of leverage. Unrealized gains are all paper tigers, everyone. A wave of correction and you're directly liquidated. After the thrill, it's time to pay off the debt. People who engage in such extreme operations are really brave. I can't sleep at night. 93x leverage? This guy really dares to play. As soon as BTC jitters, he's out, crying out in despair. It's better to pocket 160,000 than to get liquidated, but this process was truly too intense and not worth it. I find the idea of rolling over positions just terrifying; the risk is simply uncalculable. In the end, it's just big players cutting the leeks. The liquidation price is so close; rather than calling it an operation, it's more like gambling... How painful it must be to feel like returning to the pre-liberation days overnight. As long as the platform doesn't shut down, this guy has to keep climbing.

Uh... seeing this, you know a big show is coming. 940,000 instantly gone. How painful must this feeling be? Leverage is truly the opposite of happiness; returns and risks are fundamentally not proportional. Honestly, who hasn't dreamed of multiplying their investment a hundred times, but at the moment of realization... Sigh. Liquidation is reality; there are no ifs.

**Comment 1:** Same old story, the joy of trading with 93x leverage is just an illusion, liquidation hits and it's all over. **Comment 2:** The moment the unrealized profit of 940,000 vanished, I guess my intestines are all regret... Luckily, I didn't lose everything in the end. **Comment 3:** This is the price of greed. I should have exited earlier; earning 160,000 should have been the time to pop the champagne. **Comment 4:** Rolling positions until liquidation—classic rookie script. If it were me, I wouldn't be so mysterious about it. **Comment 5:** Watching my account jump from 10,000 to 940,000 and then drop to 160,000—this roller coaster is really exciting... but I don't play. **Comment 6:** The key is no stop-loss and no buffer; a single correction wiped it all out. Pure gambling, not trading. **Comment 7:** Getting 160,000 is pretty good, but just thinking about the 780,000 difference makes me uncomfortable. Leverage is truly a double-edged sword. **Comment 8:** High leverage—it's great when you make money, but despair when you lose... just watching it makes me scared.

940,000 evaporated to 160,000, this is the true face of high leverage. After the thrill, you're taught a lesson in reverse. Playing with 93x leverage, the liquidation price is very close to the current price. One correction and it's all gone. Luckily, I didn't lose money. This guy made 160,000 and is considered lucky. I've seen accounts go straight to zero. Leverage is truly a double-edged sword. Rolling positions is basically gambling on luck. Good luck means profit; bad luck means losing everything, even your bones. Looking at his operation process, this is not trading at all. He's basically dancing on the edge of a cliff. 940,000 down to 160,000, the floating profit disappears in an instant. That's the cost of leverage. A true trading master wouldn't push themselves to this extent. It's too extreme.

940,000 instantly evaporated, is this called making a profit? I can't help but sweat for him... --- The discounted price of the liquid is so close, sooner or later you'll have to buy it. --- 93x leverage, a wave of retracement, completely wiped out. This move looks exciting but it's really playing with fire. --- Another story of "book profits that are actually gambling," wake up everyone. --- Not afraid of not making money, just afraid of not sleeping well when making money. --- Is it time to be content with 160,000 in hand? People, greed is the original sin. --- Every time I see these stories, I want to ask: are they traders or gamblers? --- This high leverage rolling position strategy is just self-hypnosis with "not yet settled." --- From 94 to 16, floating profits are always illusions; don't take them seriously. --- If this guy had been able to boast two years ago, he could have bragged for a lifetime. Now he's just a negative example.

940,000 instantly evaporated, this is the true face of high leverage The joy of going all-in, the pain of liquidation, all have to be borne by oneself 93x amplification... sounds great, but death comes pretty quickly too Didn't say I made money? Why does it feel worse than losing? This guy is actually lucky, at least he wasn't wiped out completely Ascending the ladder, falling off a cliff—this leverage game is truly over the top The liquidation price is so close, just waiting to be swept away 160,000 in profit isn't much, the real cost is the mental exhaustion High risk, high reward? No, this is pure gambling Floating gains aren't real money; liquidation is the real lesson
