The loss is estimated at about $1.5 million. The investor quickly began adding positions back in stages. Ember said Machi Big Brother's high-leverage rolling-position strategy tends to suffer frequent stop-losses in a choppy market because liquidation levels sit close to the current trading price. Account funds have fallen from roughly $11 million a few days ago to around $6.5 million now. The drop followed repeated forced exits while the market traded in a narrow range. Despite the latest loss, Ember's monitoring still shows long positions worth about $100 million in ETH and roughly $10 million in BTC. His current exposure includes those ETH and BTC longs even after the account balance was reduced by several million dollars over a short period.
