If I go short with 1 BTC on 50x long, how far the other way can my trade go before I'm liquidated?

less than 2%, which is suicide in crypto, dont forget that if you take a 50x position, the exchange will take the same against you.

with that kind of leverage you can get liquidated trading everything

Why is it less than 2% and not just 2%?

>> No.8836971

>>8836925
Because math, if the trade goes against you, you're losing money that you loaned so it has to stop you out before you lose margin and with 50x you don't have a lot of room

Just go 5x or 10x if you feel balsy

You don't have to worry about that. BTC will continue going down till it's $1. This is a happy bear market.

10x is about 10% before liquidation correct?

Possibly idk, I just look at the actual liq price and determine how manageable it is.

Liquidation is based on your usable equity in your margin account. The more equity you have the further away your liquidation price is. Obviously the more leverage you take the tighter your liquidation price is. There are more factors in figuring out your liq price than just how much you leveraged.

>>8836716
you simply just WILL be liquidated

that's not how it works on bitmex. liq. price doesn't change the less contracts you buy
