🚨 This image summarizes one of the biggest disasters in the trading world, where a "whale" (a trader with huge amounts) was making astronomical profits until followers thought he never loses. The disaster began when he entered Long (buy) positions with very high leverage, and with a sudden and sharp market drop, the green curve turned into a terrifying vertical drop.
The problem here is not the market itself, but the psychology of trading; often, big traders fall into the trap of "arrogance" after a series of successes, starting to neglect stop-loss orders (Stop Loss) believing that the market will turn in their favor at any moment. What you see on the chart is the result of "averaging down" in losing trades, which ultimately led to a "margin call" and a loss of about 98 million dollars in just 5 hours.
This scene proves that the market is bigger than everyone, and that the difference between "legend" and "failure" is just seconds of discipline or recklessness. Whales do not fall because of the strength of the waves, but because they sometimes forget they are not the owners of the ocean.
