Leverage amplifies both gains and losses. At 10x leverage, a 10% move can wipe out your entire position.
Liquidation = when your unrealized loss exceeds your margin (initial deposit).
Use this calculator before executing any trade — not just after. Knowing the exact net proceeds after fees and estimated taxes gives you the true profit figure, not the gross amount that the exchange displays.
A common mistake is confusing gross return with annualised return. A 60% gain sounds impressive until you factor in it took 4 years — which is an annualised CAGR of about 12.9%, useful context for comparing against other investments.
An investor compares a 6-month crypto return of 45% against the annual return on a stock portfolio of 22%. Using the annualised CAGR mode reveals the crypto position generated approximately 105% annualised — context that makes the comparison meaningful.
The exchange forcefully closes your position and you lose your entire margin deposit.
