RE: Leverage Your Bitcoin on Bitmex up to 100X!
This is really great info, do you have any links for more reading about leverage trading? I started in crypto in June and still don't feel totally comfortable
I actually had to learn on my own since there is practically nothing out there. Just start out very conservative. 5X-10X and you will be fine. It is the quickest way to build your Bitcoin stack. My buddy had positions set up for the $780-$900 rally with 5 Bitcoin and turned it into 25 over Christmas. My goal is to have 100 by the end of 2017.
100 Bitcoin at the end of 2017??? OKAY..5x to 10x is NOT conservative. You should NEVER trade with 50x or 100x. 25x tops. It's a long run game and key is to be patient and pick your spots. Just cause it offers you 100x doesn't mean you have to trade 100x. They could offer 5000x. Does it mean you have to trade max? Know what % move on what level of margin would wipe you out (20% margin or less liquidation rule). So at 5x leverage, you only get to lose 80%. So 80/5 is 16%. Only need to move 16% to wipe you out. at 10x leverage, 80/10 is 8%. 8% move wipes you out, and at 50x, 80/50 is a 2% move to wipe you out. Good luck lasting more than a few seconds!!!
