Just experienced a liquidation event, to be honest, it was due to operational errors. The principal was 400 dollars, and it grew to 1400 dollars within three days, with a daily return of over 30%. At that time, I was indeed inflated. Today, I directly increased the Ethereum leverage to 150x, but a wave of pullback at the high level wiped everything out.
Honestly, I don't regret it—not because of greed, but because this market cycle indeed provided opportunities. Three consecutive days of stable returns indicated that my strategy was correct; the problem was in risk management. The 150x position was purely greed and impulsiveness, and that's the cost.
The next plan is very clear: start with 2000 dollars, and readjust the position management strategy. This lesson was bought with money, and the repeatedly validated trading logic is worth further refinement. The crypto market never lacks opportunities for a turnaround; what’s lacking is patience to stay alive and see that moment.

Playing with 150x leverage at such a scale, man really has a strong heart
Doubling for three days in a row and then starting to get carried away, every newbie has to pay this tuition fee at this stage, right?
But to be fair, starting over with 2000 bucks was definitely a wise choice, at least there are still bullets to keep shooting

150x leverage is truly outrageous; this is the gambler's mentality. The thinking was correct, but it was ruined by execution.
---
I don't regret that, I understand, but I really need to learn from this. Next time, remember that position management is more important than anything else.
---
Tripling in three days and then going all-in with 150x leverage—I've seen this pattern too many times.
---
Being able to continue playing while alive is the real win. Keep going, brother, with 2000 yuan to make a comeback.
---
It's easy to speak well, but next time I'll still make the same mistakes—that's the magic of the crypto market.
---
Buying lessons with money is worthwhile, provided you truly learn something; otherwise, it's just pure losses.

A 150x leverage really dares to pull, this is the gambler's mindset, brother.
---
Tripling in three days starts to make self-doubt creep in, next step is all-in, got it.
---
Risk management sounds easy, but when the market starts to move, who can control it?
---
Money's gone but the logic hasn't run out, this is mostly self-soothing.
---
Starting over with 2000 bucks is like resetting compound interest, you better think it through.
---
150x leverage is indeed playing with fire, and next time you'll probably repeat the same mistake.
---
I've heard the word "regret" too many times; nine out of ten crypto people say it.
---
Living to see a turnaround opportunity, as long as you don't go all-in again.
---
Consistent 30% daily returns are indeed impressive, but that's also a sign of a potential margin call.
---
Position management is definitely a skill; most people fail there.

150x margin explosion? Bro, this is the legendary lesson learned with money. The thrill of quadrupling 400 yuan can get people hooked. Truly amazing.
---
Wait, you dare to say your strategy is correct even with a stable 30-day return? I just want to ask, why haven't you figured out the risk control part?
---
It's really happening again this time. Can you actually control yourself this time and avoid 150x? Gambling and trading are just a thin line apart. I think you haven't learned the lessons of the former before trying the latter.
---
I've heard the "no regrets" approach before. The key is, what will you do when the next challenge comes? That tests your mental resilience.
---
Starting over with 2000 yuan. Okay, let's see how long you can hold on this time without impulse.
---
There are many chances for a comeback. Not many people get to see that moment alive. This sentence hit the mark.

150x... Man, this isn't inflation, it's a suicidal move. You're pretty quick to wake up, huh?
---
Making 1400 in three days and then going all out—this mindset really needs to change. Otherwise, putting 2000 bucks in will still blow up.
---
"Seeing the turnaround in life," this sentence is worth a thousand bucks in tuition.
---
Risk management sounds good, but actually it’s just about learning self-control. That’s the hardest part.
---
Repeatedly verifying... Why didn’t you verify at 150x? It’s too late to learn your lesson when you actually need the money.
---
Losing 2000 bucks again isn’t bad; at least now you know 150x is a trap. This time, you should play it honestly.
---
A continuous 30% daily return and you’re already floating. I think this round of liquidation might really be a required course for you.
