Liquidated $299K BTC Long at $117,343 — Lesson on Leverage
I was long BTC and got liquidated on a $299,000 position at $117,343.40.
The loss shows how quickly high leverage can be crushed by Bitcoin’s volatility and that my risk controls were insufficient.
I’ll tighten sizing, lower leverage, and avoid oversized directional bets until price action stabilizes.
