So opening up a short around here and closing at ~5200 is pretty much guaranteed money at this point, right?

Is it really this easy?

You are betting that BTC breaks 6k support and continues to lose an additional 800 bucks on top of that? Good luck. I think you're going to get liquidated.

When BTC breaks 6k I will have gotten my initial investment out long ago and still be up tens of thousands of dollars which I will then use to go long at 4800.

Here's thing thing, everything is happening much faster in this market as compared to the previous big run and crash of 2013/14. It wouldn't be strange for us to briefly test support at 4800 and then get right back up to 6500. Like I said earlier, this market is moving a lot faster than the last one. I see us back on track for another bull run by next spring.

ok lets say I have 1 btc to play on bitmex. If I go 100x that means I can buy/sell up to 100 btc with 1 BTC as collateral. Let's say I buy 3 btc at 100x, if I get liquidated I'd only lose 3% of my stack, right? o will they also take from my collateral?
