Liquidation Price Calculation

Liquidation occurs when your position reaches the liquidation threshold:

Liquidationspreis = Einstiegspreis ± (Collateral × Liquidation Threshold) / (Leverage × Position Size)

  • BTC entry at $50,000

  • 10x leverage, 100 USDT collateral

  • Liquidation at approximately $45,650 (-8.7%)

Step 9: Set Stop-Loss and Take-Profit

Risk Management Tools

  1. Stop-Loss Orders:

    • Automatic closing on losses

    • Recommendation: Risk maximum 2-3% of total capital

    • Set stop-loss before the trade

  2. Take-Profit Orders:

    • Automatic closing on profits

    • Rule: Risk/Reward ratio at least 1:2

    • At 2% risk → target 4% profit
