Zurich, Switzerland, Sep 2nd, 2024 – Outcome Labs, a pioneering force in the decentralized derivatives marketplace, is proud to unveil its latest groundbreaking analysis on the crypto derivatives liquidation crisis. This study, driven by the mantra "Do Not Get Rekt," sheds light on the often-overlooked risks associated with leveraged crypto trading, aiming to arm traders with the knowledge they need to navigate these volatile waters safely.

In a surprising revelation, Outcome Labs has identified a significant gap in the existing research landscape: no prior studies have comprehensively examined the probability of getting REKT in leveraged crypto trading. Leveraged trading, often viewed as a quick path to outsized returns, comes with the lurking danger of complete capital loss—a risk that many traders underestimate. To address this, the Outcome Labs team conducted an extensive analysis of eight years of daily Bitcoin price data. The results were startling: the risk of liquidation increases exponentially as leverage or holding periods extend, even for traders who believe they have mitigated risks through short-term strategies.

"Traders using 25X leverage face a 25% chance of losing 100% of their funds within just 24 hours," stated Pete Harrigan, Founder of Outcome Trading. This stark statistic underscores the critical need for effective risk management strategies in the crypto trading world.
Over a series of 50 trades, the probability of losing all capital surges once leverage exceeds 5x." This is a crucial insight for both novice and seasoned traders, highlighting that the odds are often stacked against those who venture into high-leverage positions without a proper understanding of the risks involved."

Harrigan emphasized this point by referencing data from @BXREKT, which reported approximately 270,000 liquidations over a four-year period. "The data clearly show that liquidations are not a rare event but a common outcome for many traders," Harrigan noted, "and they often occur when traders least expect them."
