Spotted a potential trade setup here that could deliver solid returns. Cut down my leverage position to give myself more breathing room—planning to hold this for at least a few days without the pressure of tight stops. The move lets me ride out the volatility and stay in the trade longer if the thesis plays out. Sometimes the best trades aren't about maximum leverage; they're about having enough cushion to let winners run.

The move to reduce leverage is truly brilliant, so satisfying that it can make you fall asleep.

That's right, reducing leverage is the key to lasting longer. I've also experienced the pain of liquidation... Greed is truly the biggest enemy in trading.

Ha, are you again thinking about reducing leverage? Theoretically, it should be feasible, but I don't know how many days I can hold out without getting itchy hands this time.

Lower leverage? I've played this trick before. I realized it when I was raising three kids: greed is the root of losing money. Let the profits run, don't get caught by stop-losses. That's how seasoned traders stay steady.

That's right, lower leverage can actually help you survive longer. I used to go all-in with high leverage and got wiped out several times. Now I've learned to be smarter and stick to this steady and prudent approach.

I understand the move of reducing leverage, but I'm just worried that I'll get itchy again and add it back haha

That's so true. Reducing leverage is really the most underestimated operation in trading. Many people are still stubbornly holding onto their leverage ratio, and as a result, they get wiped out at the first sign of a pullback, haha.
