How do people lose money at this? Say I buy in at $2.65 a coin and it immediately drops to 2.63, did I just lose money? Or do I still hold my coin and can still sell at a later higher price?
>what is being liquidated?
If I don’t cash out to fiat and say I hold Eth and Eth goes from $550 to $100 overnight then I lost all my money and was liquidated?
>or am I wrong?
anyone?

Liquidation is when you're a Vietnamese farmer who gets Agent Orange on his face. You turn to liquid.

>> No.8441799

Liquidated means that you are using leverage aka borrowing money. So if you use 10$ to borrow 100$ and it goes down to 90$, they sell the position and take your 10$

>> No.8441819

you can only get liquidated if you margin trade

if the coin you're trading with leverage loses ~50% value (-exchange fees) at 2x leverage you've lost 100% of your initial, and at this point you'll be liquidated

3x leverage liquidation is at ~33% loss of value

10x leverage liquidation is at ~10% loss of value

etc

But if I buy a coin at 2.65 and it goes to 2.63 I still have my coin so no money is list correct unless the coin market plummets to zero?

In a bear market, you altcoins will lose a fuckton of thier value. People who've been holding since ATH have lost up to 90% of thier value. Smart people who can see the bigger trend sell their alts and open a short position so they don't lose value.

Morons open a short position with high leverage and get liquidated by high volatility, even though they may have been right about the trend. Getting liquidated just means that there isn't enough money in your margin account.

>>8441831

Kind of. The loss isn't realized unless you sell but you should still veiw it as a loss.

Can I always open a Long or Short at every second ? Lets say were in a bullrun and everybodys position is long. Can I still open a long ? Or do I need somebody to bet against it ?

Besides this what are the fees for lets say a 50x or 100x long or short on Bitfinex.

Like that. Most of the time, you'll get liquidated much sooner.

Ye but it might not ever return to that price. That's why you should veiw it as a loss. Also don't day trade until you learn the basics.

Lol dude it returns 95% of the time. I watch coins all day go from $2.60-$3.20 in a 24 change. So I guess as long as I’m only day trading 3-5% gains I’ll never lose

Never try and day trade a bear market like in December. If BTC or ETH is massively dropping it would be stupid as shit to put money into. Since crypto has since stabilized it’s fine to get in and get back out into fiat for profit I’m pretty sure at least from my studies
