Trading with a bigger position than your own money. At 20x, 100 USDT controls a 2,000 USDT position. ๐Ÿ’ฐ

Profits and losses are both amplified:

โ€ข Price moves 1% in your favor: +20% ๐ŸŸข

โ€ข Price moves 1% against you: -20% ๐Ÿ”ด

What is liquidation?

When your losses eat up your margin, the exchange automatically closes your position and you lose the whole margin. ๐Ÿ’ฅ

Example (20x):

โ€ข Margin: 100 USDT, Position: 2,000 USDT

โ€ข A move of only ~5% against you gets you liquidated

โ€ข BTC can easily move 5% in a day! ๐Ÿ“‰

Cross vs Isolated:

โ€ข Isolated: you only risk the margin of that one position

โ€ข Cross: your entire futures balance is at risk, which is more dangerous โš ๏ธ

Beginner tips:

โœ… Stick to 2-3x at most

โœ… Use isolated margin

โœ… Always set a Stop Loss

โœ… Practice with small amounts or a demo account

This is not financial advice. You can lose your entire futures balance.
