BTCUSDT - added 25% to my long 75x leveraged positionI entered my position @ 43600. I was expecting more upside end of week on Friday. Yet the market played out completely opposite. I usually trade with no more than 5% of my account and out of the 5% the first position is not more than 15% of that which brings the overall exposure on trade nr.1 at 0.75%. So overall now i am down 1.5%. I added 25% to my long @ 42600. Currently I am -32% on my leveraged position. I finally decided to limit my exposure with a stop @ 41600, limiting my losses to 60%-70% of my 5% allocation.

Finding Effective LeverageKnowing the link between leverage and equity is important. Now, you have to decide how much you are willing to risk and set your trading capital accordingly. To find effective leverage, consider two inputs: trade size and equity. Use effective leverage of 10:1 or lower. Only risk 10% or less of your account balance at any given time. Add the cash value of your entire exposure to the market (all your trades), and never let that amount exceed 10 times your equity. To calculate leverage of a single trade, divide your trade size by your account equity.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of LeverageAdvantages *Enhances Capital Efficiency: In forex, capital efficiency is the comparison of how much money is being risked relative to potential profits. High degrees of leverage help traders maximize the potential of their risk capital and turn minimal investments into substantially larger returns. *Extraordinary Profits: The greater the applied leverage, the greater the potential profits. Through opening inherently large positions in the market, beneficial moves in pricing can produce extraordinarily positive returns. Disadvantages *Risk: Make no mistake—applying leverage exponentially increases the trader's risk exposure. As position sizes grow larger, per PIP values also grow. In the case of sudden volatility , capital drawdowns on heavily leveraged positions may be severe. If margin requirements aren't able to be met due to unrealized losses, margin calls and premature position liquidations are possible. *Stress: The physical and mental stress associated with trading highly leveraged forex positions can be intense. As leverage is increased, the "stakes" of each trade go up dramatically. Subsequently, trader psychology often changes, with big profits leading to a state of euphoria while sizable losses prompt desperation. When in a euphoric or desperate state, traders are more inclined to make emotional decisions rather than strategic ones.

VETBTC long tradeIt seems everyone has been wrong on the VETBTC charts and it would appear that VET is dead in the water. Looking at the fundamentals however it is clear this is anything but true. So looking at the chart we can see cycles that are more to reality than what has previously been posted. It would be nice to couple this idea with the BTC dominance chart, the Altcoin marketcap chart, the total crypto marketcap chart, the VETETH chart and the VETUSDT chart. Combining these should give us a glimpse into the future of this potentially very profitable 3x leverage trade that can bring 30x gains on VET versus BTC . Please discuss and share your thoughts and charts.

AVAX | BREAKING DOWN MY LIQUIDATION CALL | SHARPENING THE BLADEAVAX | Avalanche - A promising smart contract platform in the blockchain industry My past week in the futures market & leveraged trading has been extremely well, and by saying that I don't mean it was all sunshine, but rather the learning process and how obvious the solutions are in order to succeed. That said, I'd like to review a sour trade I've made yesterday out of excitement & recklessness. Now as we all know, hindsight is 20/20. Let's have a look at my short-term trade with AVAX. By the end of February, many coins were poised for a breakout, and possibly a trend reversal. Unfortunately, that was rejected after a short-lived bull run during the first week of March. Even though I'm bullish on the crypto space, I still wanted to take advantage of this trend that was pretty clear. Having the capability of shorting some familiar coins, AVAX was my short of choice. The first few trades were excellent. I secured my positions close to the top and slowly strengthened my position as my analysis came closer to confirmation. Once the down trend had started, I was already in a good spot. After securing my profit is where the mistake happened. Instead of allowing the impulse to fully take form after the drop, roughly around the 261.80% Fib level, I had gone back in too early which would cost me my capital. Ideally, a more sound approach is to let patience rule for this period. Though excitement & the happy hormones of making the right call can cloud our judgement, it would probably be best to do a thorough check on all your indicators & redraw your chart. Leverage can either go with you or against you, and that doesn't just go for money. Time, emotions, these are all leveraged as well, we have to understand that . The right call; extreme joy, less time to grow your capital, and more returns of course. With a bad call though - extreme anxiety, frustration, more time will be required to rebuild, and less returns of course. A few key points to remember - Learn how to use the Fib Retracement tool & Trend-based Fib - For beginners, unless you have an entry/exit route or map planned out, it's best to re-chart & re-analyze your play before going back in to avoid controllable losses. - Even though you have confirmed the general trend, you will still need to determine the best ranges in order to succeed in trading, most especially if leveraged. (Always seek the best price) - The larger your leverage, the more accurate your calls must be. - I have found the least anxiety & self-doubt and more confidence with my analysis when I strengthen my position ONLY when my initial position is green - this way, my only risk would now be my profit. Leverage wisely.
