What is a deflationary currency and how does deflation affect price?
One of the most common questions we get asked is: is crypto a good store of value? To answer this question, you need to understand how the crypto world operates when compared to the fiat world. The global economy is indeed an inflation-based model, where the amount of printed money is intentionally increased every year to make it decrease in value. Therefore, people are more incentivized to spend it now than save it for later, contributing to a spending economy with free-flowing cash.

When would my order be liquidated?
In a unified account, the margin level determines when a position is liquidated. When the margin level of an open position falls below 100%, the position will be partially or fully closed. A common misconception is that traders might assume liquidation will occur when the margin level falls to 0%. This is not the case. When the margin level falls below 100%, the position will be liquidated in part or in full, and we'll collect a liquidation clearance fee that will be added to the OKX insurance fund.
