Last year saw a brutal shake-up in leveraged trading—$150 billion in positions liquidated, with an average of $400 million wiped daily. That's serious capital destruction. The question hitting the community hard: how many times did you get caught in the liquidation cascade? Whether you managed to stay afloat or took a hit, this year's data tells a story about the risks baked into leveraged plays. Worth reflecting on your risk management strategy.

Leverage is really a gambler's playground; 15 billion just evaporated. Just looking at the numbers makes me hurt.

15 billion liquidation, our group really knows how to do it --- 4 million lost every day, this number sounds painful --- I dare not look at last year's account records, afraid of breaking down --- Leverage is like a drug, once addicted, you can't stop --- Anyway, I was washed out before, now I’m just trading spot --- Serves you right, who told you to go all in --- 4 million daily liquidation... buddy, you’re clearing out retail investors --- Honestly, risk control is harder than choosing coins --- It's already 2024 and you're still thinking of turning things around with leverage, serves you right --- Last year's liquidation, I just lay flat, now I play peacefully

Forget it, that wave last year completely wiped out my earnings for several months. Leverage is really a trap.

I've been liquidated three times, each time a bloody lesson. Now I get scared just seeing leverage.

Oh no, 15 billion in a year... I literally went all-in. --- The term liquidation cascade really left a scar in my mind. --- What are those guys who maxed out their leverage ratios doing now? --- How to say it, stop-loss is too difficult, I always feel it will rebound. --- 400 billion in one day... just hearing this number makes me want to vomit. --- Risk management? I didn't think about that at all back then. --- Stop talking, I regret it every time I think about it. --- Is there anyone making money with leverage? Come out and say something. --- Last year's shakeout was brutal, really not something humans should do. --- When things were crazy, no one believed in risk management.
