  1. 6:25 is this analysis mistaken? It's not btc that we are borrowing when margin trading, but USD (which probably has a less volatile interest rate?)

  2. Wow, ive been in the futures markets for 10 years and this made no sense to me. Any one have a link to a video that shows a real life trade walkthrough?

  3. Hey Arthur. I have tried to reach your support team and it has been a while now that noone of them got back to me. The issue i have is very straight forward. I would hope you see this message and get back to me. I have placed my Stop Loss in one of my trade but somehow it does not get triggered at all by your system that means my portfolio got liquidated. I went back and check and I can confirm I have correctly set my stop loss. Do you mind to get back to me on this?? Appreciate it.

  4. Could you do an in depth guide on margin trading well? I would like to understand this better, basically how the longs and shorts work and how the liquidation price is calculated…

  5. Awesome video. Now i need to understand it. Bio Major not finance… So much has happened since this video was published

  6. Finally, someone is dummying this down far enough for me to understand, thank you!

    EDIT: Just kidding, I didn't get it…
