Uncontrolled Leverage: The Path of Self-Destruction from $50,000 to Zero**
In March 2023, I entered contract trading with a principal of $50,000. Initially, I adopted a conservative strategy: 3x leverage, with strict stop-loss control at 2%. The first month yielded a profit of 30%, inflating my confidence. In April, when DOGE surged due to Musk's tweet, I increased the leverage to 20x, making over $80,000 in a single trade.

**Key Turning Point**: In May, during the LUNA crash event, I misjudged the “oversold rebound” and bottom-fished with 15x leverage, without setting a stop-loss. During the price plunge from $80 to $0.0001, I continuously averaged down 3 times, ultimately resulting in a zero net worth in my account.

**Psychological Review**:
- **Confirmation Bias**: Only focused on comments supporting bottom-fishing, ignoring on-chain whale sell-off data.
- **Loss Aversion**: After losing over 50%, I developed an obsession with “recovering losses” instead of cutting losses.
- **Gambler's Fallacy**: Believed that “a continuous decline must rebound,” ignoring market irrationality.

**System Improvements**:
1. Link leverage ratio to volatility: When volatility >10%, leverage ≤2x.
2. Daily maximum loss limit: If triggered at 5%, immediately stop trading for 24 hours.
3. Introduce third-party risk control tools: Forced liquidation and position monitoring. #交易晒单
