No margin call in perp futures that I'm aware of. Liquidation is the way

There's neither a margin call or liquidation when hodling bitcoins and crypto assets in local wallets

Whats the difference between liquidation and a margin call?

I agree that $20K has been very strong support for bitcoin, but for the past 3 months, btc sometimes goes down to the low $18K level

This would be bad for me, I'll get liquidated unless I cut my position or add more liquidity

I understand this is a leveraged product. How much do you stand to make or lose per contract. (I'm assuming contracts like index futures) when BTC move $1000.
 
Interesting candle wick about 5 minutes ago. Wonder if there was news?

2. Liquidation

Depending on the maintenance margin requirement, a perp position can be liquidated before the theoretical wipe-out movement happens. For example, a 10x leveraged perp contract on a CEX might get liquidated before a 10% spot move as the CEX protects itself from a margin shortfall and liquidates risky margin positions earlier.

I'm pretty sure the 20x refers to the margin.
