This $MLN short was the smoothest trade I’ve made this year. Entered at 14.646, watched it drop all the way to 5.626 before closing the position, and with 50x leverage, that was an 8011% return. Honestly, when I opened the position, I was nervous—after all, high leverage leaves almost no room for error.

Looking back, what really gave me the confidence to hold the trade wasn’t luck, but a fundamental judgment of the trend. At the time, MLN’s on-chain data had already weakened, there was obvious capital outflow, and the technicals confirmed a breakdown. In situations like this, leverage actually becomes a tool to amplify certainty, rather than just a gambling chip.

The biggest gain from learning trading with experienced people isn’t a specific entry or exit, but gradually building your own framework: knowing when to be aggressive, when to be conservative, and how to find the balance between risk and reward. The volatility of $BTC and $ETH teaches us to respect the market, but those rare opportunities we catch make us even more convinced—strategy is more reliable than luck.
