🚨 LIQUIDATED WHILE IN PROFIT?! THE MARK PRICE TRAP 😱

Did you know you can get liquidated even when your trade is deep in the green? It sounds impossible, but it just happened to me on $RIVER

📉 The Setup:
• My Entry (Short): 29.15
• Binance Futures Price: 28.09 (I was in solid profit!)
• The Result: LIQUIDATED. ### 🤔 How is this possible?

While the price on Binance Futures was falling, the price on other platforms - including Binance Spot (Alpha) - stayed much higher.

The Culprit: Mark Price vs. Last Price.
• Last Price: What you see on the futures chart (28.09).
• Mark Price: The average price across multiple exchanges used to calculate liquidations.

Because the price on other exchanges didn't drop as fast, the Mark Price hit my liquidation level even though I was technically "in profit" on the futures chart.

The Outcome: I walked away with a small profit since the trade closed at 28.09, but the liquidation fees and the forced exit killed my potential gains.

💡 Pro Tip:
Always watch the Mark Price, not just the chart. If the spread is too wide, add more margin to avoid getting "technically" wrecked!
