You deposit 1,000 $USDT. You open a 5,000 USDT position. That's 5x leverage.


The market drops 20%. Your collateral is gone. Position liquidated.
That's not a worst case, that's how futures work.
Leverage amplifies your position, not just your upside.
A 5x leveraged position needs a 20% adverse move to wipe out your collateral.
A 10x position needs 10%.
