Hi, I've taken a bit of a gamble by buying Bitcoin with a 3X leverage. I bought in when Bitcoin was around the 20 week MA so this has fared well so far but I realise this was a risky move, particularly considering I don't actually fully understand leveraged trading.

I'd always assumed that if in order to be liquidated BTC would need to go down 1/3 from my initial buy in but I just had a thought that got me concerned.

Let's say for arguments sake that I bought in $1000 with BTC price at $10,000 which has now doubled to $2,000 after Bitcoin went up to $13,333 (I'm not sure that my math is right but anyway).

I would assume that Bitcoin would have needed to go down $6,666 in order for my initial stake to be liquidated and I was assuming that this would still be the amount that Bitcoin would need to go to, however now I'm a bit worried that my initial stake is irrelevant and that Bitcoin would need to drop 33% from the $13,333 that it's at now in order for me to be liquidated meaning that no matter how high Bitcoin goes, if it goes down 33% from that high I could be liquidated.

Is it possible that somebody could confirm if that is true or false please?

Thanks
