Margin Pressure Thresholds

2022年11月7日

If you thought margin trading liquidation levels only mattered to those trading with leverage, think again. Margin traders wield significantly more capital than your average retail investor, and their collective behavior can move markets quite predictably. The basic premise (theory popularized by Forrest Cryptostackers YouTube) is that margin traders will have their liquidation points protected by strong support (for longs) or resistance (for shorts). Therefore, by simply identifying strong support/resistance levels, we can predict the thresholds at which margin buying and selling pressure will subside.

This indicator is interactive, so it just takes a click. Select a strong support level to see where margin buying pressure is likely to drop off, i.e. where to expect resistance and a potential local top. Or, select a strong resistance level to see expected support and anticipate the local bottom. Even better, look at long and short levels together to identify high probability support/resistance zones where levels align.

And for margin traders, this indicator makes life easy. Just click to select the support/resistance you want protecting your liquidation level, and quickly see the amount of leverage is safe to trade with.
