๐Ÿ“Œ Understanding Cross Leverage in Futures Trading: A Tale of Two Trades!

๐Ÿš€ Ever wondered what happens when you open both a Long and a Short position on the same pair with high leverage?

Take a look at this real-life example on BTCUSDT Perpetual Futures ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ”„ Two Opposite Positions, Same Size:

๐Ÿ“ˆ Long Position ๐Ÿ“‰ Short Position

๐ŸŸข +87.02 USDT (Profit) ๐Ÿ”ด -87.02 USDT (Loss)

Entry: 108,392.00 Entry: 108,391.90

Mark Price: 118,061.20 Mark Price: 118,061.20

Size: 1,062.6 USDT Size: 1,062.6 USDT

Margin: 8.50 USDT Margin: 8.50 USDT

ROI: +1,023.74% ๐Ÿš€ ROI: -1,023.75% ๐Ÿ“‰

Leverage: 125x โšก Leverage: 125x โšก

๐Ÿคฏ So Whatโ€™s Happening Here?

The trader opened both Long and Short positions on BTC using Cross 125x Leverage โ€” likely to hedge risk or test market behavior.

๐Ÿ” Since the market price went up, the Long gained profit, while the Short lost the same amount.

โžก๏ธ Net Result = Zero PNL (no real gain or loss)

โš ๏ธ Key Takeaways for Beginners:

๐Ÿ“Œ Using high leverage like 125x amplifies both gains and losses.

๐Ÿ”€ Opening opposite positions on the same pair can cancel each other out.

๐Ÿ”’ Cross Margin means your entire account balance helps support the position โ€” liquidation risk is high if things go wrong.

๐Ÿง  Donโ€™t trade blindly โ€” understand what your positions are doing!

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: For safer trading, start with lower leverage and study how PNL, Entry Price, and Mark Price interact.
