Bought 329 Segwit2x Futures on Bitfinex.
Sometime around the 6th.

Buying something that doesn't even exists is not just risky, but a gamble that consists of 100% chances of losing your entire capital that you put in.

Took a gamble yes I know, but after looking into it I believed Segwit2x would be the chain we all use as the real Bitcoin

What made you think that the community might go against the real Bitcoin and why? Don't say you never knew that the support they were trying to gain was not even 50% of the total mining volume.

News comes out that the fork is being called off, by the time i hear it about an hour later I check the futures price and it's trading at a whopping 90$ each

That was ought to happen, and it happened because the community wanted it. I was surprised to see it even at that price after it was called off, how it even traded after cancellation and why, that's still a mystery.

Moral of story :
Don't ever put almost half your portfolio in something risky like a forks futures

Learnt a lesson is a good thing, but you risked in 50% of your total portfolio on 2x? Really, man?
