Using 30x leverage for shorting only requires a $30 principal, but as a result, the market moved just 2 points and I already lost half a dollar—this is the true face of ultra-high leverage trading. Small funds + extreme leverage is like dancing on the edge of a knife. A 2% price fluctuation under 30x leverage directly translates into a 60% account fluctuation, making it hard not to lose. Many people find 30x very exciting, but in reality, the risk management space is almost zero; even a slight breeze can lead to Get Liquidated. This method of operation has taught me a simple truth: the higher the leverage multiple, the more your technical level needs to rise exponentially, but most people's trading abilities can't keep up. Rather than being greedy for high multiples, it's better to use a reasonable 3-5x leverage and clarify the trading logic.

30x leverage is really a gambler's game. Losing half a coin in one go shows there's no risk management at all.

Playing with 30x leverage until liquidation, this is the price of a gambler's mentality... --- Dancing on the tip of the knife is indeed exciting, but liquidation is the real pain. --- Basically, it's about wanting to get rich overnight, but ending up zeroed out in one night. --- Losing half a block with just 2 points is really outrageous... --- Instead of constantly watching the 30x opportunity, it's better to honestly make money with 3x. --- The phrase "zero room for risk management" hits the nail on the head; there's simply no room for maneuver. --- It seems that most people overestimate their trading abilities. --- Small capital + extreme leverage = giving money to the exchange, nothing else. --- Why do some people always have to step on the edge of the knife to feel happy? --- The thrill of 30x leverage is indeed exhilarating, but the cost is an instant account wipeout.

30x leverage is the joy of gamblers, getting liquidated is the norm.

Trading with 30x leverage is really nerve-wracking; just a 2-point move can wipe out half of your account. This game is truly not for the faint of heart.

30x leverage is just a pit; a couple of breaths and it's done. There's really nothing exciting about it, only anxiety.
