Gate.io Second Annual Human-Machine Trading Competition Plays a Dramatic Scene. The trader Liang Xi, who recently held the top spot, has now disappeared from the top ten rankings and was ultimately found to have fallen to the 75th position. Behind this ranking reversal lies a classic risk case of reckless trading.

The “Lie Flat” Promise Plan Ultimately Fails

Liang Xi once stated in the community that he would “lie flat and not trade,” waiting to claim the $30,000 first-place prize. However, this promise did not last long. The original strategy of staying still and confidently holding the top spot was eventually abandoned in the face of market volatility. Aggressive machine trading replaced cautious holding strategies, becoming the trader’s fatal decision.

Reckless Trading Overnight Wipes Out Capital

From a strategic shift to actual liquidation, Liang Xi only took one night. His $95,000 account rapidly shrank to $7,000 under high-leverage machine trading, with losses exceeding 90%. Such a dramatic fall not only caused him to drop out of the top ten but also became the most eye-catching negative example in this trading competition.

The Cost of Reckless Trading: From Championship Dream to Survival Dilemma

Liang Xi’s story reveals a market truth—the high risk associated with frequent machine trading. With a limited account size, aggressive leverage trading often accelerates rapid capital evaporation. Currently, with only $7,000 remaining in his account, whether Liang Xi can regain his momentum remains uncertain. This competition also serves as a reminder to all participants that disciplined trading often outweighs aggressive machine trading strategies.
