According to @binance, leverage lets traders control larger BTC or ETH futures positions with initial margin, so a 1 percent move at 10x translates to roughly 10 percent profit or loss on margin, source: Binance. @binance explains liquidation is triggered off the mark price when maintenance margin falls below required levels and that cross margin exposes the entire futures wallet while isolated margin confines loss to the chosen position, source: Binance. @binance notes that funding rates on perpetual contracts, trading fees, and slippage all affect realized PnL and that funding payments are exchanged between longs and shorts at set intervals, source: Binance. @binance highlights that risk limit tiers raise maintenance margin for larger notional sizes, and that auto deleveraging may occur if the insurance fund cannot absorb losses, source: Binance. @binance recommends risk controls such as sizing by volatility, lowering leverage, placing stop loss and take profit orders, and monitoring margin ratio and ADL queues to reduce forced liquidation risk, source: Binance.

According to @OnchainLens, ZEC traded back above 500 USD as a whale holding a 3x ZEC long shows more than 5 million USD in unrealized profit, source: @OnchainLens; hyperbot.network/trader/0x6b26f66f460fd173b009d0c7a478ca400470e03f.
