Just saw someone say, “If you lose 50% and then it rises 50%, you break even.” I almost laughed out loud.
If you lose 50%, you need a 100% gain just to break even; if you lose 80%, you need a 400% gain.
People with heavy positions never treat this arithmetic as a big deal.
Today $ETH 2,421, over the last 24 hours it’s up 1.17%, with trading volume of 1.689 billion.
Light-position folks don’t care, but heavy-position holders stare until their eyes ache.
Even so, with a 1.17% rise, you’re still far from breaking even.
A liquidation isn’t caused by betting on the wrong direction—it’s because your position is so oversized that you’re not allowed to make mistakes.
Protecting your principal isn’t a slogan; it’s math.
This account, 10:30 is when it’s clearest.
For the next trade, keep it lighter.
