All trader should take note that you can't get liquidated if you use your leverage wisely, almost 90% or more of traders that got liquidated is as a result of high leverage, ok lets take btc as an example now, if you enter a long position from $45000 with a 3x leverage, Bitcoin would have to fall down to $17000 or $16000 for you to get liquidated, so as long as you are patience enough in the market while using lower leverage, you stand a chance of making good money out of the market, so please use your leverage wisely to overcome the troubles of the market.
I don't do leverage trading now but I don't think that's how lower your liquidation price became when you chose 3x leverage, I am not trying to correct you instead a little confuse because I traded in the future a long time ago and now the numbers are little blurry. But hey let's consider the liquidation price for the sake of the context of your topic.
And on this, I can't agree more with you, because when I used to do future trading, I did know at the start that I should trade with lower leverage, but at lower leverage, you obviously make a lesser profit, so when you start to make some profit at lower leverage you start to think that now is the time to increase the leverage for like up to 10x. And that's where we make mistakes.
I also make the same mistake, I thought that I can judge the market now, and I know if it will move up or down so I should take entry, now is the best time but why should I not try 10x leverage instead of 2x or 3x. And boom here goes the whole future portfolio.
