Some traders seem stuck in an endless loop. Keep dumping capital into positions, then leverage up on longs, watching their accounts get wiped out, only to start all over again. It's like they're running a playbook designed for failure—rinse, repeat, rinse again. The cycle keeps spinning because the urge to double down after losses is real. But here's the thing: size kills. When you're mixing aggressive leverage with oversized bets on volatile assets, liquidation isn't a possibility—it's practically scheduled. The hard truth? Most retail traders aren't actually trading; they're gambling with borrowed money they can't afford to lose.
