In the days at the beginning of 2026, I became the kind of person I hate the most.

Looking back, how smooth it was when I first entered the market just over a month ago—doubling my account in 15 days, with a win rate consistently above 90%. At that time, I truly thought I had discovered some secret, as if I was born to make a living on this path. Now I realize, all of that was just luck’s gift.

The turning point came much faster than I expected. In less than 3 days, my account was wiped out. This wasn’t losing a trade or two, but a complete collapse of the entire process.

The scariest part isn’t the loss itself, but the state of complete irrationality. Going all in again and again, getting slapped in the face repeatedly, yet always believing that the next trade would turn things around. Greed, luck, and the desire for short-term explosive profits—these things led me step by step into the abyss. Perhaps from the moment I had the thought "there’s still a chance to reverse," the ending was already sealed.

90% win rate doubles in 15 days? Ha, I knew there would be a crash later. Leverage is like that—one second paradise, one second hell.

Oh no, this is the result of going all in, I guess it's a common problem among leveraged traders.

That 90% win rate should serve as a warning sign. Essentially, this is a problem of incentive imbalance in mechanism design—initial high returns directly destroy risk control awareness, and going all-in later becomes an inevitable outcome of the game. To put it simply, it's not about losing money; it's about losing to the incentive model you set yourself.

90% win rate doubles in 15 days, then resets in 3 days... This script is so familiar, I don't know how many people around me have played like this. Leverage is just a gambling monster machine. When you're making money, you think you're a genius; when you lose, you realize what it means to be ground down by the market. From the moment you go all-in, you should know the ending. Greed is truly the biggest killer in this game.

This is the devil of leverage. When your investment doubles in 15 days, you should know to take profits. Greed can truly cause people to lose all rationality.

Doubling in 15 days until going to zero—that's the real face of leverage... When luck runs out, it's time to admit defeat. Don't go all in, buddy.

This is the true face of leverage. When winning, you think you're a genius; when losing, you realize what an abyss really is. But to be honest, the 90% win rate period really should be approached with caution. That feeling is the most dangerous. I'm very familiar with the all-in reversal logic; I always tell myself "one more try," but end up losing everything in one shot. Hitting zero isn't scary; what's scary is the feeling of losing control, where rationality completely goes offline. You seem to be quite clear-headed in your reflection, at least you know not to let others learn from you.

90% win rate? Ha... I was just saying this nonsense is something to listen to, and those who truly believe have already fallen for it.

This is the legendary "I feel like a trading genius after winning two rounds," and then three days later, back to square one haha

90% win rate turnaround to zero, isn't this just the daily operation of leverage... The thrill of going all-in is followed by an endless pit, really, don't touch it.
