**Illustrative Example**

* Trader deposits $10 margin, 10x leverage, $100 notional long BTC perp at $70k entry; ‘auto-protect’ selected.
* Auto-protect exchanges gains on \~15% of notional above $77k in return for pushing the liquidation floor \~10% lower.
* If closed at $77k: \~$7.8 profit (78% return on margin), net of \~$2.2 premium charged only when position is profitable.
* Gains equivalent to \~8x effective leverage with liquidation risk of \~5.4x leverage — \~50% more margin efficiency.
