Episode notes
INSIGHT

Auto-Deleveraging Changes Liquidation Reality

  • Auto-deleveraging (ADL) forces outs at worse prices to protect exchange solvency and can surprise traders.
  • Centralized venues sometimes smooth liquidations or use insurance funds; DEXes liquidate faster and more transparently.
ADVICE

Structure Accounts To Limit Cross-Margin Risk

  • Understand derivative margin mechanics and liquidation math before using high leverage or cross-margin setups.
  • Use subaccounts and separate risk buckets to avoid one asset wiping your whole portfolio.
ADVICE

Optimize Execution For Swing Trading

  • If you swing trade, lower execution costs by using advanced trading interfaces and break large orders into small pieces.
  • Scale into positions and post on order books to avoid moving illiquid coins and reduce slippage.
