Cryptocurrency : The New Normal & The World of Leverage Trading.

📌 Cryptocurrency: The New Normal & The World of Leverage Trading ⚔️ ( A Sweet Killer! )

🌍 Why Are Traders Shifting to Crypto?

BTCUSD ETHUSD SOLUSD

• ✔️ Lower capital required compared to stocks
  
• ✔️ Fewer gaps (24/7 market = no overnight gap-up/down shockers)
  
• ✔️ High leverage opportunities (control bigger trades with smaller margin)
  
• ✔️ Global accessibility (Binance, Bybit, OKX, CoinDCX, Mudrex etc.)
  

📊 Types of Trading in Crypto

• 💠 **Spot Trading** → In India, 30% tax on capital gains ( check according to your country ).
  
• 💠 **Options & Futures** → Taxed as *Business Income* ( like F&O in stocks ). No flat % rule.
  

⚡ What is Leverage?

👉 Leverage means using *small capital* to control a *large trade size*, because the exchange lends you money.
Think of it like **margin trading** in stocks — but much more aggressive.

🔹 Example 1: Normal Trade style ( No Leverage )

suppose you have 💰 Capital = $10,000
Bought BTC at Price = $10,000,000

* You can buy 0.001 BTC ( 10000 ➗ 10,000,000 ).
* If BTC rises 10% → Profit = $1,000 (+10%)
* If BTC falls 10% → Loss = $1,000 (-10%)

👉 Risk & reward move in proportion to your capital.

🔹 Example 2: Leverage Trade style ( 10x Leverage )

suppose you have 💰 Capital = $10,000
opted Leverage = 10x
New Trade Size ( margin ) = $1,00,000 ( you can now utilize this margin amount for trading )

* You can buy 0.01 BTC ( 10000 ➗ 10,000,000 ).
* If BTC rises 10% → Profit = $10,000 (+100% return)
* If BTC falls 10% → Loss = FULL $10,000 ( Liquidation 🚨 )

👉 A 10% move = your account will be blown.

🔹 Example 3:

suppose you have 💰 Capital = $10,000
opted Leverage = 50x (Extreme ⚠️)
New Trade Size ( margin ) = $5,00,000 ( you can now utilize this margin amount for trading )

* You can buy 0.05 BTC ( 50000 ➗ 10,000,000 ).
* If BTC rises just 2% → Profit = $10,000 (+100% return)
* If BTC falls just 2% → FULL $10,000 loss ( Liquidation 🚨 )

* If BTC rises just 10% → Profit = $50,000 (+500% return)
* If BTC falls just 10% → FULL $10,000 loss ( Liquidation 🚨 )

👉 Tiny moves in high volatile asset class = jackpot or wipeout/blown.

⚔️ Key Takeaways :

1️⃣ Leverage multiplies profits 💸 but also multiplies losses too💀 ( a sweet killer! )
2️⃣ Crypto is *highly volatile* (10–20% daily moves are common) → High leverage is extremely risky, if not managed well.
3️⃣ Beginners should **never use more than 2x–3x leverage**

👉 In simple words: **Leverage is a double-edged sword ⚔️**
Used wisely → You’re a king 👑
Used recklessly → You’re broke 🥀

🚘 Liquidation Explained ( ex: Car Analogy )

Imagine you pay $10,000 ( as a security ) to rent a car worth $1,00,000. (That’s 10x leverage).

* The car is in your hands, but $90,000 still belongs to the owner of car (exchange).
* If the damage goes beyond your $10,000 margin → the owner takes back the car immediately.

👉 That’s liquidation: when your loss = your margin.

🔹 Case 1: Normal Trade style ( No Leverage )

Margin = $10,000 → Buy BTC.
If BTC drops 10% → Loss = $1,000.
You still have $9,000 left.
✅ No liquidation. Just a normal loss.

🔹 Case 2: 10x Leverage Trade style

Margin = $10,000
New Trade Size ( margin ) = $1,00,000

* BTC rises 10% → Profit = $10,000 (+100%)
* BTC falls 10% → Margin wiped = Liquidation 🚨

🔹 Case 3: 20x Leverage Trade style

Margin = $10,000
New Trade Size = $2,00,000 ( margin )

* BTC rises 5% → Profit = $10,000 (+100% return)
* BTC falls 5% → Margin wiped = Liquidation 🚨

👉 Just 5% against you = Account gone.

🔹 Case 4: 50x Leverage Trade style (High-Risk Zone ⚠️)

Margin = $10,000
New Trade Size = $5,00,000 ( margin )

* BTC rises 2% → Profit = $10,000 (+100% return)
* BTC falls 2% → FULL $10,000 loss = Liquidation 🚨

👉 Just 2% against you = Blown account = Game over.

🎯 Final Word

Leverage = Power ⚡
But in crypto’s volatile world, it’s also a **trap for the impatient**.

* Liquidation is directly proportionate to Leverage.
* Smart traders use small leverage.
* Impulsive traders burn out with high leverage.
