Is it bitcoin or altcoin, if it is altcoin, can you specify?
Bitcoin price is volatile but altcoins price are more volatile, future trading can be leveraged up to 100x for bitcoin and coins like ethereum while 50x for other available altcoins. Which coins have you been using and which is bringing you profit?
What I mean is BTC/USDT or ALTCOIN/USDT.
I think what that matters is the leverage used, but I have been experiencing liquidation at 3x leverage for altcoins in extreme volatile market, when I calculated it for bitcoin, the trading fund would not have liquidated if i used bitcoin because the liquidation price is still most of the time far from the price.
I will not talk more about manipulation because I have seen bitcoin future market price manipulated in a way many people's coins are liquidated in just few minutes, but I think I have seen it happened in bitcoin future market ones on the exchange I am using but this happened frequently with altcoins in volatile market.
BTC/USDT is popular for futures trading. I usually have done that a few times leveraging around 5x to 10x (sometimes 20x and not more than that) whether short or longing it. But I had to admit that for most of my future trade positions, I usually lost actual money lol (not in demos). I say that it’s much more risker than the traditional spot trading in my opinion but it did give us an opportunity to set our TP/SL.
