Trading with a bigger position than your own money. At 20x, 100 USDT controls a 2,000 USDT position. ๐ฐ
Profits and losses are both amplified:
โข Price moves 1% in your favor: +20% ๐ข
โข Price moves 1% against you: -20% ๐ด
What is liquidation?
When your losses eat up your margin, the exchange automatically closes your position and you lose the whole margin. ๐ฅ
Example (20x):
โข Margin: 100 USDT, Position: 2,000 USDT
โข A move of only ~5% against you gets you liquidated
โข BTC can easily move 5% in a day! ๐
Cross vs Isolated:
โข Isolated: you only risk the margin of that one position
โข Cross: your entire futures balance is at risk, which is more dangerous โ ๏ธ
Beginner tips:
โ Stick to 2-3x at most
โ Use isolated margin
โ Always set a Stop Loss
โ Practice with small amounts or a demo account
This is not financial advice. You can lose your entire futures balance.
