everyone thinks copying top leaderboard traders is guaranteed profit, but actually you are often just copying their path to a massive wipeout.
most traders look at shiny 30-day win streaks and assume these guys cannot lose, so they blindly ape into the same perp setups without managing position size.
look at this wild case with $LOBSTER perps on binance. a trader ranked among the top profitable accounts on the 30-day board went heavy on leverage, got chopped up, and closed with a brutal loss of -$98,471.97 in $USDT. the craziest part is the underlying asset was actually up +6.80% at the time. the trader literally captioned it "the joker is me" after giving back weeks of gains in one move.
overleveraging meme volatility while trading perps will liquid you even when your broad market read on $BTC or altcoins is spot on. ngl seeing a 6-figure drawdown on a green day is a harsh reminder that pnl snapshots mean nothing if you cannot manage margin.
have you ever gotten liquidated on a trade where the price actually went in your favor?
