📉💸 Alright team, let’s talk about that silent killer: leverage and its brutal impact on your liquidation price. I learned this the hard way with a $600 lesson, so you don't have to.
Imagine you're long BTC at $60,000. You put in $1,000 of your own capital.
At 10x leverage, your position is $10,000. Your liquidation price is roughly $54,300.
Bump that to 20x leverage, your position grows to $20,000. Your liquidation price is now around $57,300.
Crank it to 50x leverage, and your position hits $50,000. Your liquidation price? A terrifying $59,100.
See how little room you have? Each step up in leverage brings that liquidation line closer to your entry. It’s not just about bigger profits, it’s about drastically increased risk of ruin. Trade safe, know your numbers.
