#数字资产行情上升 【Trading Blood and Tears】Large traders lost nearly 8 million in two days. Why did the double-coin leveraged contracts crash?
Recently, another case has surfaced in the market: a whale used a dual-coin strategy on high-leverage contracts, going from 7.6 million to zero in just 48 hours, almost shocking everyone. This guy is definitely not a small retail investor; he’s clearly a trader with some capital, yet he still got wrecked.
What’s going on? The core issue is that the gap between leverage and risk is much smaller than anyone imagines. $BTC and $ETH have completely different volatility characteristics. Some think they can hedge by opening positions on both sides simultaneously, but in reality, a sharp market move can wipe out both positions. Especially on major exchange contract platforms like this, if position management is poor, higher leverage means faster death.
Reflecting on this case: seemingly profitable strategies are often the most likely to trigger liquidation. Successful traders know how to control risk and set stop-losses during rebounds, rather than blindly chasing highs. No matter how many market opportunities there are, keeping your principal alive is the top priority.

7.6 million gone? Haha, that's why I never touch dual-currency contracts. A single coin can keep me awake at night.

7.6 million gone in two days. How much confidence does that person have? They're even hedging with dual currencies, but the market turns around and washes everything out.

Another self-righteous big player; hedging logic really doesn't work well in the face of derivatives.

actually, that correlation coefficient between btc and eth isn't as stable as this whale thought... classic move ignoring the 15-min rolling stats during volatility spikes. sharpie ratio goes negative real quick when you're not hedging properly lmao

7.6 million disappeared in two days; this hedging logic is really overthinking it.

7.6 million wiped out? This guy probably thought hedging was insurance, but ended up realizing it was useless.

7.6 million lost in two days, this is what I mean by "the smartest people are most likely to die in their own strategies." Hedging? Ha, a sharp market move can break through on both sides, and leverage essentially treats time as an asset. Casinos have no opponents.

Haha, 7.6 million gone in two days? This guy is just like me, refusing to believe in evil and insisting on going against the market.

7.6 million lost in two days, this guy probably thinks leverage is a cheat code.
