How is the liquidation price calculated?

The liquidation price is estimated using the simplified formula: Long Liquidation = Entry × (1 − 1/Leverage); Short Liquidation = Entry × (1 + 1/Leverage). The actual price may differ due to funding fees and exchange margin rules.

What is the difference between Long and Short?

Long means betting on price increase — you profit if price rises, lose if it falls. Short means betting on price decrease — you profit if price falls, lose if it rises.

What is the Risk/Reward ratio?

The R/R ratio compares potential profit to maximum loss. A 1:2 ratio means earning $2 for every $1 risked. It is generally recommended to maintain a minimum R/R of 1:1.5.

What are the risks of high leverage?

High leverage moves the liquidation price very close to the entry price. A small adverse move can liquidate your entire position. A common rule is to never risk more than 1-2% of total capital on a single trade.
