To be honest, the recent move with $NIGHT has left me confused. My losses are almost 50U, and watching the numbers in my account drop is really hard to bear. I originally thought I could turn it around, but now I've completely given up the struggle. I've heard that the threshold for entry is already 300,000, and this number is becoming more and more outrageous.

What hurts the most? I hedged too early. The initial trading strategy was fine, but watching the market rise while still shorting is really hard to bear – it's painful to watch profits disappear. I originally wanted to increase my position, but now I don't dare to act, fearing it will only make things worse.

Right now, I'm just thinking about getting out quickly to preserve my capital, but that idea might be too naive. It's really hard to bear even a short position of one times; the anxiety is overwhelming. How much leverage can I use to survive and not get liquidated? This question is a bit tormenting right now.

50U already, this is how the early set is, the most uncomfortable --- Leverage, the more you add, the more hopeless it gets. Don’t ask me how I know --- 30K in the top? I really won’t trade it anymore --- The biggest fear of shorting is this kind, watching the numbers move in the opposite direction, mental breakdown --- Thinking about exiting with a capital preservation mindset is enough, the reality is very cruel --- Cannot even withstand one time, brother, this is difficult --- Adding leverage is better than meditating, really --- If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have hedged, just listen --- The words liquidation and margin call are now nightmares, right? --- Roll up? I’ve already laid flat

Damn, 50U just disappeared like that, hedging is really a mystery. Shorting is still hot in my hands, to be honest, it's a bit scary. 300,000 threshold? That's just ridiculous, brother. Leverage is just a pit; if you’re not careful, you'll get liquidated. But on the bright side, at least you're still alive; some people have already been wiped out.

I trapped too early in this matter, I understand it very well. The market keeps rising and you are still shorting, that feeling is indeed extraordinary. 300,000 threshold? This is crazy. Rather than increasing leverage, it’s better to recognize the loss, really. This NIGHT thing is ridiculous, I advise you not to mess with it.

Losing 50U is nothing, the key is that my mentality collapsed. Getting trapped early is a lesson learned, brother. 300,000 threshold? It's really crazy, this game is getting more competitive. Shorting and then taking the opposite position hits hard, I understand that feeling too well. Leverage is a double-edged sword, don't add more, just run fast. Getting out to preserve capital is a success, don't think about making a comeback in one go.

Data shows that historically, every time the story of "leveraging to save leverage" ends up being a textbook case of liquidation, with liquidation rates generally above 90%. Ironically, the more urgent the losses, the more eager people are to increase their positions, which is the most classic irrational behavior pattern in a bubble cycle.

Hmm... lost 50U, this trapping timing is really amazing. 300,000 threshold? Are you crazy? What kind of game is this? Shorting got taken out by the opposite position, it's really uncomfortable. Don't leverage anymore, buddy, if you do, you'll really lose it all. Just think about exiting to protect your capital, reality is cruel.
