Bitmex Calculators and why/how to use them.
Most people using Bitmex have absolutely no idea what they are doing or getting into. Far too many comments and observations I have seen tell me that the average Bitmex user is likely to get Rekt, as denoted in this article/quiz. Most don’t use any form of risk/money management and likely have no idea how to even calculate possible wins/losses on trades ahead of time. This really bothers me. I think it is extremely important that people just don’t gamble their money away using powerful platforms like Bitmex. If you wish to prevent becoming Crypto Road Kill, then take this article to heart. Dive in and do the work to educate yourself on the risks involved with trading your Bitcoin and other Cryptos on Bitmex. Calculators will help you know the risk/reward ahead of time. By doing that, you are in planner mode. This mode is where all great traders are born!
As you can see by the image above, the side-by-side view of the different calculators, 2 of which give Fiat Calcs, and 1 of which is the most extensive, also includes calcs for ALT coins. These calculators are helpful, whether you choose to use the built-in one for Bitmex, the Simple 1Broker one, or the more extensive bitmexcalculator.com one. All of them will help you calculate and plan your trade risk/reward ahead of time. Good planning is a sign of a winner; you can’t beat a man with a plan! Below is a calculator for you to use.
