Yesterday, my 105x $BTC position traded straight through its liquidation zone On a normal perp venue, that single candle would have ended the trade FX100 kept it alive not because my directional call was immediately right, but because every newly opened position receives 15 minutes of liquidation protection During that opening window, price can cross the danger zone without triggering an instant forced exit That sounds like a small timing adjustment but at high leverage, it changes the structure of the trade Conventional perps let the worst tick decide your outcome, a brief liquidity vacuum, oracle move, or violent wick can liquidate the position even if price reverses seconds later FX100 inserts time between the trigger and the consequence That distinction matters most for "scalp trading" A scalper is not underwriting a multi week thesis, the strategy tries to capture short volatility bursts over minutes I ran that playbook successfully on CEXs through 2022-23, until quick liquidations eventually wiped my entire portfolio and I learned the lesson The lesson was not simply “leverage is bad.” It was that, at extreme leverage, market path can kill the position before the thesis has any time to resolve FX100 gives that thesis a fixed opening window But the protection should not be confused with safety, it delays liquidation but it does not repeal leverage If the move persists against you after the window, the position is still exposed I’m going to test the same my scalp strategy on both testnet and mainnet Because now for the first 15 minutes, a temporary wick and a persistent repricing are no longer treated as the same event Cool mechanism imo, and a genuinely different way to think about leverage risk
