Alright fam, Forgot To Live here. Today, let's pull back the curtain on liquidation math, the silent killer that got me more times than I care to admit.
Think of it like this: your trading capital is your leash, and leverage is how much slack you give it. If you put $100 into a 10x leveraged trade, you're controlling $1000. Sounds great! But here's the trap: your $100 is your *only* buffer. A 10% drop on that $1000 position? That's $100 gone. Poof, you're liquidated.
Go to 20x, that leash shrinks to a 5% price move. 100x? Just 1%. Every extra bit of leverage isn't 'more money,' it's just less room for the market to breathe without wiping you out. It's an instant reset.
Don't ignore the math. That tiny wiggle room is exactly how leverage silently sets its trap.
