Liquidated on a $63.8K BTC Long at $115,996 — Tighten Risk

I was liquidated on a BTC long that cost me $63.8K when price hit $115,996.10. It was an aggressive, highly leveraged position that didn’t survive a sharp move.

This loss reminded me how quickly leverage and volatility can erase margin — I under‑estimated tail risk and failed to size the trade or place effective stops.

I’m tightening risk controls, cutting leverage and re‑evaluating position sizing and market structure before considering new long entries.
