Please read this Risk Disclosure carefully before using any information published on bitmex-reviews.com.
General Risk Warning
Trading cryptocurrency and cryptocurrency-settled financial instruments carries a substantial risk of capital loss. The value of cryptocurrencies is highly volatile and can fall as well as rise. You may lose all of the capital you invest. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
Derivatives and Leverage
Leveraged trading products, including perpetual swaps, futures contracts, and contracts for difference, amplify both potential gains and potential losses. At 100x leverage, a 1% adverse price movement results in the total loss of the allocated margin. At 10x leverage, a 10% adverse move produces the same outcome. Many retail traders lose money on leveraged derivative products.
Funding rates on perpetual swap contracts are paid or received every 8 hours depending on market conditions. These costs accumulate over the duration of a held position and can materially reduce or eliminate profits on otherwise successful trades.

Regulatory and Legal Risk
