Many people think,
The most dangerous thing about high leverage is sudden surges and crashes.
Actually, that's not it.
The real danger,
is normal fluctuations.
BTC drops from 79,098 to around 78,307.
ETH drops from 2,221 to around 2,215.
The fluctuations are not particularly exaggerated.
But 100x leverage is enough to wipe out a position.
That's why many beginners always feel:
"I clearly have the right direction, why did I still get liquidated?"
Because high leverage simply doesn't give you room for error.
The market only needs a slight move.
And you're gone.
The first thing many people learn when entering the market is opening a position.
But what they should really learn first,
is how to survive.
