I have seen such moves hundreds of times.

I did the same thing to avoid losing money.

Cross-margin only on a small amount. There should always be a buffer in the futures account,

so that the margin can withstand drawdowns.

If the price goes against the position and you see a conditional -500%

I do not panic, I buy more, calculating the risk.

The average price becomes better, the drawdown is smaller, for example -250%.

But the main rule never changes: everything that rises too quickly - falls just as quickly.

This is not about gambling.

This is about cold calculation.
