If you are still blindly averaging down on bleeding leverage positions because you believe a breakout is guaranteed, stop now.
Watching your capital evaporate while adding margin to a losing trade is the quickest way to turn a temporary drawdown into total liquidation. Most traders convince themselves they are building a strategic position, but in reality, they are just held hostage by stubborn conviction.
Take a look at what just happened on $ZEC perpetuals. Even leaderboard traders with solid 30-day profit records fall into this exact trap. A heavily watched long position is currently underwater by -47,308.69 USDT after a sharp -12.31% drop, simply because the trader kept buying the dip on margin with blind faith in new highs.
We saw the exact same pattern play out with older privacy coins like $DASH and $XMR during past cycle rotations. When momentum fades and the market structure shifts, aggressive dip-buying on leverage usually just provides free exit liquidity to sellers.
At what drawdown percentage do you usually cut a losing trade instead of adding more size?
