Analysis & newbie experience:
Mass liquidation occurs when many traders using leverage are forced out at the same time — creating a domino effect.
If you are new: do not use high leverage, do not trade large sizes compared to your account, and always have a stop-loss.
A practical tip: limit risk to a maximum of 1–2% of capital/signal, and if using futures, test with very low leverage (2–5x) before increasing.
Don't forget: during liquidation periods, slippage and fees increase — turning good plans into losses.
Leverage helps amplify profits, but it also amplifies risks — controlling position size is the number one priority.
