Your position is kept open only while your equity stays above the maintenance margin.

Rails Play teaches the mechanics and helps you build strategies to avoid liquidations."

最近休息准备学习最基础的交易策略，最简单最常用的也就是网格交易。

这个也是各大交易所常推的，在我理解下，网格并不是稳赚的，非常吃行情震荡，一旦碰到单边行情就得吃瘪。"

> "PERPs vs. Polymarket: Choose your edge
 
Polymarket sometimes offers a much more favorable edge than PERPs
 
In some cases, you need to use 70x leverage to achieve the same return, but with liquidation risk. On Polymarket, the math creates leverage for you!

不是行情不确定，而是系统在不同负载下，像换了一套性格
平时顺滑，忙的时候却变得难以预期
你很难判断，当前的结果，是市场强度，还是系统压力的副产物

StandX 选择直面这个问题



它并没有把更快当成唯一目标
而是先划清一条线"
