Rekt
a.k.a. Wrecked, Got rekt
Slang for 'wrecked': suffering a heavy, painful loss on a trade.
In plain English
Slang for 'wrecked': suffering a heavy, painful loss on a trade.
Getting rekt means getting wrecked: a trade blowing up in your face, a leveraged position wiped out, an account torched in an afternoon. The misspelling comes from gaming chat.
It's said with gallows humour, but it describes something real. Most rekt stories share a cause: too big a position, too much leverage and no stop-loss.
Don’t be that stickman
Trying to win it all back right after getting rekt, with an even bigger bet.
