No, for example:

if market moves 1% towards profit normally you earn 1% of 1btc = 0.01btc

Using x100 the profit/loss is multiplied x100. so 1% profit using 1BTC means your profit is 1BTC

>>4291301
sure, just make an account at bitmex.com and deposit your btc and of you go. no verification or shit.

How can swings eat you - for example - if you put this leverage on BTC price going up when some kind of crazy BTC pump starts?

I don't know how to do math on this :) so let me give an example.

- you put one of these leverages at, lets say 10X, to sell it at 6537

The way leverage works, since you guys seem retarded:
You borrow money relative to how much you personally are putting in, and you are expected to pay that back plus interest when you close your position.

If you had, for instance, a 1BTC position, and then took 5x leverage, and then it went up 10%, that would be a 5BTC position going up 10% for a 0.5btc profit. Then, you pay back what you borrowed (4BTC) and you just made 50% off of a 10% increase.
Of course, anything over 5x or so is retarded because at 20x a 5% drop means 100% loss and you'll get liquidated.

If you're a richfag you can influence the price to pump and dump instantly.
If you're a super lucky genius you'll figure put the ATH at 7800$ before it drops back to 7300$ and stay there. Or you'll figure out that once BTC fell under 6999$ and failed to recover above it then it's going to dump to a specific number.

Sadly even if BTC has +430million volume going in it... 100-300$ flash p&d's are enough to liquidate you. And trying to catch/short on a falling knife is harder than trying to outbid a bot.

When you set your margin trade, there's a certain point of loss where you get liquidated and your position gets automatically closed at a loss. Most exchanges have it at 100%, so you should set stop losses. If the position gets liquidated and then the price goes up, tough shit.

Trading at 1x leverage is not dumb, because leveraged trading lets you profit off of dips (by borrowing 5DGB, selling it, and rebuying it lower, keeping the difference)

If polo's liquidation worked like that on BitMEX I would have quit crypto months ago. I got liquidated once on polo but it didn't use the whole collateral and left me with about a third of my initial investment.

It depends on the leverage and amount you put in.
Think of it this way, your capital is evenly spread out across each "point" of leverage to cover any losses.
So if it's 5x it would be your capital divided by 5, and then you'd take the answer from that and take it away from your capital which gives you the point at which your investment gets liquidated.

>> No.4292264

Wait a minute anon. I'm playing on Bitmex simulator and I found something suspicious.

There's a calculator to "predict" your shorts/longs. This is what I simulated;

- $500
- entry BTC 6000 / exit BTC 6050
- leverage 25
- liquidation 5798

Profit 20%

So if you enter this on some crazy bullrun at 6000, chances to flash drop to 5798 are possible, but not HIGHLY likely...

Am I correct anons?

>> No.4292398

>>4292264
They know your position details and the amount of money you have in your wallets. BitMEX can liquidate you, then put the price back to normal. Sometimes, even actual trade is not even needed, but that's suspicious as fuck. With crypto you can use a whale that can cause micro fluctuations.
In my language that's called "kitchen", not sure about the correct name in English. I bet this shit's illegal, but if admins don't care, then you're fucked.
