Stumbled upon a wild misunderstanding about leverage trading today.
Some folks actually think setting liquidation threshold to zero means exchanges physically can't liquidate your position. Like the system just... breaks?
Hate to burst bubbles, but that's not how margin calls work. Zero threshold = instant liquidation the moment price moves against you. No safety net, no buffer zone.
It's basically speedrunning your account to zero. Mathematical impossibility? More like guaranteed wipeout with extra steps.
Always wild seeing how creative people get with risk management misunderstandings.

NGL, these people really have wild imaginations. Zero threshold means it's game over, and they still think the system will protect them? LOL.

NGL, these people's imagination is really wild, haha. Zero threshold can even become a system bug? That's hilarious.

Haha, it's this group of self-congratulatory "traders" again, treating the liquidation mechanism like a joke.

On-chain data shows that someone fell into the trap of this "zero liquidation line" strategy again in the past 48 hours. Backtesting shows the win rate is practically negative, but I still can't resist wanting to try it [dog head].

Nah, these people really have an overly fantastical view of the liquidation mechanism. Zero threshold just means instant liquidation and game over, nothing magical about it.
