Getting Started
Traders on unregulated exotic derivatives exchanges expose themselves to additional risk. The Liquidation risk.
When a trader’s position’s liquidation price hit, his entire position will be routed through the exchange’s risk engine to cover the loss of the trader.
When only a few positions worth a few bitcoins are concerned, the market impact is negligible. If hundreds of such positions have liquidation prices close to each other, the closing orders compound, and the market impact can be massive. Furthermore, a liquidation can trigger another one by pulling the price just enough and might trigger “mass chain liquidations” across several hundreds of dollars.
