The number of people engaging in high-leverage trading is beyond imagination. I often see people making significant profits with high leverage like 3x, 5x, but I truly think this is very risky. When you make a profit, it's wise not to be greedy and to lock in at least some of it. Especially with leverage over 3x, you can lose your assets in an instant. Developing the habit of reducing your position when you have spare resources is the best way to protect your profits in the long run.

I've seen too many 5x leverage liquidations; I really don't want to see anyone going all-in in a sleepwalking manner again.

I've seen too many 3x and 5x liquidations, waking up to find everything gone... really, take the profit and run, don't wait.

There are indeed many people doubling their positions with 5x leverage, but even more get liquidated, no one talks about it...

High leverage is like the craze for counterfeit antiques in the market—appearing highly profitable, but in reality, it’s fragile. True collectors never chase astonishing returns on a single trade; they care about the genuine value of long-term holding.

3x, 5x leverage is really a gambler's game; just look at how many people get liquidated. Take the profit and run—that's the secret to survival. High leverage is essentially a gamble against liquidity, a game where you win once and lose ten times. I agree with locking in some profits, but most people can't do it; greed is ingrained in our genes. The moment of liquidation often comes at the most exciting time, and no one can escape it.

I've seen many guys get liquidated with 5x leverage, and when they're making money, they all think they're the chosen ones.
