If you are still averaging down on underwater leverage positions hoping for a miracle bounce, stop now.
Watching unrealized losses pile up while your capital sits hostage for weeks is the fastest way to blow up an account, yet even leaderboard traders fall straight into this trap.
A 7-day top profit trader just surfaced with an opening $SOXL perp long sitting at -$6,881.65 USDT unrealized PNL with the asset down -0.72%. The sentiment is that these ancient positions are finally about to break even and unlock, sparking a heated split across trading desks.
Bulls argue that enduring massive drawdowns on leveraged plays like $SOXL or high-beta plays tied to $BTC is simply the price of capturing macro trend reversals. But holding deep red contracts through severe chop ties up liquidity that could be capturing fresh momentum elsewhere. In my view, stubborn hold-and-hope trading turns calculated risk into an ego battle against the order book.
Do you cut underwater positions early to stay liquid, or hold through heavy drawdowns until they flip green?
