This ETH correction came hard, and this time Maji's rolling long position profits were wiped out. Now there's only $42 left before the liquidation price—a real dance on the knife's edge.



Here's what happened: He used a principal of 500,000, and started leveraging long ETH from $2,840, rolling his position along the way. The day before yesterday, when ETH surged to $3,200, his account's unrealized profit had swelled to $3.34 million. But there's a fatal flaw with rolling leverage—while you're making money, your liquidation price also gets pushed up to $3,000. As a result, with a market retracement early this morning, most of the previous profits evaporated. High leverage can definitely magnify returns, but it also fully exposes you to risk.

This time Machi really got a brutal lesson—$3.34 million in unrealized profit evaporated in the blink of an eye. This is the true nature of leverage... getting liquidated at $42, it really is a gambler’s game.

This is the fate of high leverage. Floating profit of 3,340,000 looks great, but it disappears in an instant. Really can't take it.

This is the price of greed—$3.34 million in unrealized gains shattered in an instant... --- Turning $500,000 into $3.34 million, only to lose it all overnight—this is what it means to win fast and lose even faster. --- Rolling over positions and adding leverage is truly a double-edged sword; as your liquidation price rises, you’re planting a ticking time bomb. --- Only $42 left before liquidation? You’d need nerves of steel to sleep through that. --- That’s high leverage for you—when you’re winning, you feel like the chosen one; when you lose, you finally understand what risk really means. --- From $2,840 to $3,200, unrealized gains ballooned to $3.34 million... and this pullback wiped it all out. Classic case of greed. --- Growing $500,000 into $3.34 million is undeniably tempting, but the problem is you didn’t plan your exit, and it came back to bite you. --- Dancing on the knife’s edge is like this—one second of euphoria, wiped out in an instant.
