Losing over two million in a single night, this is definitely something to be cautious about

I heard that a trader went on vacation for the New Year, initially in a relaxed state of mind, but then made a wrong decision and directly lost more than 2 million RMB—this amount could buy about two Patek Philippe 5811 watches. The starting threshold is from 5,000 to 10,000, with a single bet of 700. Although it seems like a small bet, accumulated over time, it can wipe out a person's savings in just a few minutes.

This case reminds us: when the mindset is loose and judgment is inaccurate, account risks can escalate rapidly. Whether trading or engaging in any high-leverage activity, remember—one mistake can wipe out a thousand correct decisions. Greed and luck are the biggest enemies; maintaining a steady mindset, controlling position sizes, and strict stop-loss are the secrets to long-term survival. Don't let a moment of impulsiveness turn into lifelong regret.

Another story of being wiped out by leverage. Losing this much even on vacation clearly shows that risk control wasn't managed well.

Over 2 million in one night, this guy is really ruthless... He can even wipe out the principal during a vacation. I’m impressed. This is a typical "leisurely mindset" that kills.

Hmm... this guy is really good at playing; in just a few moves, he lost over 2 million. That's why I always say don't enter with a vacation mindset—if your mind is on vacation, your account is bound to get into trouble.
