Just 11 consecutive trades. That's all it takes to watch a $1.024M position collapse like a house of cards.

Look at this sequence:
$1.024M → $512K → $256K → $128K → $64K → $32K → $16K → $8K → $4K → $2K → $1K → $500

Every flip cuts the stack in half. Every trade. Same rulebook. Same mechanics. Same market structure.

But here's the twist—the ending? Completely different from what you imagined.

This isn't just about bad luck or a bearish streak. It's about how leverage, emotional decisions, and cascading liquidations can compound faster than most traders expect. The game doesn't change. Your strategy doesn't magically shift. The variables you're working with stay identical.

Yet somehow, $1M becomes five hundred dollars.

It's a brutal reminder: in crypto trading, one losing streak can unwind months of gains in days. Position sizing, risk management, stop-losses—these aren't suggestions. They're survival mechanisms.

Same game. Different ending. And for many, it's not the one they scripted.
