Margin is the amount of funds required to open a position. Leverage is a tool that amplifies your trading power. For example, 10x leverage means you can trade with 10 times your initial margin. Collateral is the asset used to secure your position. If your trade is not doing well and your balance is sitting at a certain threshold, you may face liquidation. This threshold is usually around 50-70% of your initial margin. For instance, if you trade
$BTC with 10x leverage and your balance is at 60% of your initial margin, you are at risk of liquidation. Understanding these concepts is crucial for trading
$ETH and other assets. Trading with leverage requires careful risk management.
