Liquidation occurs when the market moves against a leveraged position beyond the collateral's ability to cover the loss.
Think of a trade position as a balloon and leverage as the air pump. Leverage acts as a multiplier on capital, expanding the size of the trade significantly. However, this expansion comes at a cost. As the position grows, the distance between the entry price and the liquidation price contracts.
This animation demonstrates how standard market volatility interacts with over-leveraged positions to trigger a forced closure. It serves as a reminder that risk management is the primary skill required for longevity in the markets.
