Estimate the price that would wipe out a leveraged position, and see for yourself why leverage is a double-edged sword.
Estimate only, exact liquidation depends on your exchange's margin model, fees and funding.
Leverage lets you control a large position with a small deposit, and it magnifies losses exactly as much as gains. The liquidation price is the level at which your losses eat your margin and the exchange force-closes the trade, often wiping out your deposit.
The maths is brutal in one direction: the move needed to liquidate you is roughly 1 ÷ leverage. At 10× that's about a 10% move against you. At 100×, it's only about 1%, the kind of wobble that happens many times a day. And a "tight stop-loss" won't always save you: in a fast move or a gap, price can jump straight past your stop, and liquidation can trigger before it even fills.
Everything the Risk track teaches about sizing quietly dies at high leverage. The honest default for a beginner: understand this maths first, and treat leverage as something to be earned, not grabbed.
