Terms & Concepts
  • Liquidation: A forced closure of a leveraged trading position when losses reach a level that no longer meets margin requirements.
  • 40x leverage: A trading setup that controls a position worth 40 times the posted collateral, magnifying both potential profits and losses.
  • Short position: A trade that seeks to profit from a decline in an asset’s price rather than a rise.
