A Late-Night Nightmare of Futures Trading
At three in the morning, the blue glow of his phone lit up Xiao Chen’s face. He stared at the candlestick chart, his eyes bloodshot, his fingers trembling slightly.
Three days earlier, Xiao Chen had watched CYBER surge from 0.23 to 0.28. Someone in the group chat had shouted, “This is the next 100x coin.” He was tempted. Not just a little—he had bet his entire life savings on it.
He opened a 50x leveraged long position on Binance with 80,000 yuan in capital. At an entry price of 0.28, he was controlling a position worth nearly 14 million yuan. A crypto influencer in the group said, “It’s going to 0.5,” and Xiao Chen had already started imagining what car he’d buy.
It did go up on the first day. CYBER hit 0.30, and Xiao Chen was sitting on an unrealized profit of over 20,000 yuan. He posted a screenshot in the group and was showered with “boss” comments and worshipping emojis. In that moment, he felt like he was born to win.
On the second day, everything changed. The market suddenly plunged. BTC fell sharply from its highs, and CYBER was hammered straight down from 0.30 to 0.25. Xiao Chen’s margin ratio started flashing warnings. He reassured himself: “It’s just a pullback. It’ll bounce right back.” The mood in the group changed too. Some people were shouting, “Get out now!” while others yelled, “Add to your position and buy the dip.” Xiao Chen chose to do nothing.
In the early hours of the third day, CYBER dropped to 0.232. A liquidation notice popped up. Xiao Chen frantically transferred USDT into his account, but no matter how fast he was, he couldn’t beat the system.
“Your position has been forcibly liquidated.”
Eight words. 80,000 yuan. Gone.
Xiao Chen sat motionless on his bed, watching the sky grow brighter outside the window. His phone kept buzzing. Someone in the group was posting screenshots—they had bought CYBER at 0.23, and were already up 40%.
Suddenly, he understood something: in this market, the most expensive thing isn’t the coin price—it’s leverage. 50x leverage doesn’t mean 50x the returns. It means 50 times the greed and 50 times the fear.
Xiao Chen turned off his phone and decided that starting tomorrow, he would trade spot only.
If there was a tomorrow.
