I have seen so many traders watch there their position run into liquidation because they were stubborn or they believe that it can still reverse to their favour, when it obvious that their is no hope.
If a trader is using high leverage, liquidation of trading fund is common to those kinds of traders. Also the type of coins you are trading is very important.
I might understand when you talk about liquidation of trading capital when it’s hot to do with leverage trading but, how does this really relates with the type of coins.
The crypto market is already a highly volatile space and that cuts across most coins especially, coins that have gained some significance in the cryptospace. Wouldn’t that be safe for some form of generalization?
Coin are volatile than one another. If you have been trading on derivative market, you should understand this. Example of a coin that I remember that was very volatile recently is TRB. There are many altcoins that behave like this. Check TRB daily char below:
Let me take it to 15 minutes chart when that fall occurred:
Falling from $569 to $285 within some minutes. Some traders could have predicted it but it was a liquidation for those that open short position at the wrong time, even if they used 1x leverage as it fell abruptly and decreased further.
Try and look at some altcoin charts and see how volatile many of them are.
If I continue to explain, you will see how whales can easily manipulate some coins and tokens. You can check the chart of some coins on derivative market that is having a marketcap not more than $12 million which can easily be manipulated.
It is good to make research before using a coin to trade. But if I should advice, using those like bitcoin and ethereum is better. They are volatile but less volatile which makes them better.
