#数字资产市场动态 I used to think high leverage was a beast from the depths, until I used it to multiply a small amount of capital several times.
But this isn't to say that leverage is so powerful; ultimately, the tool itself isn't good or bad—it's the operator who makes the difference.
I've experienced five consecutive margin calls, and that feeling was almost suffocating. Only after being liquidated did I realize that the core issue wasn't how high the leverage was, but my own mistakes: indecisive judgment, overleveraging like a gambler, and being completely driven by emotions.
Later, I completely overhauled my trading logic, and with the same high leverage, I managed to recover the money I lost.
The approach is actually quite simple:
Only focus on one direction each day; never open long and short positions simultaneously;
Keep each position below 3% of the account balance, so even if I lose everything, it won't cause serious damage;
If I judge incorrectly, I cut losses immediately—never hold onto losing positions to add more or stubbornly hold on.
The benefit of this is that even if I get the direction wrong on a trade, the loss remains within a controllable range. And once I get the direction right, the leverage accelerates the gains, which I then use to cover the initial capital.
This is the fundamental difference between me surviving with high leverage and many others crashing—it's not the market that causes losses, but poor position management and emotional control.
Now I make at most two or three trades a day, avoiding frequent switching, and I don't try to guess whether the market will go up or down next second. For me, leverage is just a tool to improve efficiency, not a chip to gamble with.
Honestly, what allows you to stay in the market long-term isn't some big gamble, but consistent discipline in position sizing and respect for risk.
If you're both eager to use leverage and afraid of it, maybe we can talk about how to put a bridle on it. $SOL
