Leverage is a double-edged sword. At 10x leverage, a 5% price move in your favor gives you 50% profit — but a 10% move against you wipes your entire margin. This is why calculating your position size and liquidation price before entering a trade is non-negotiable.
The formula is: PnL = Margin × (Price Change % × Leverage) ÷ 100. Your total position size = Margin × Leverage. Always start with lower leverage (3x–5x) until you're confident in your risk management.
Pro tip: Never risk more than 1–2% of your total portfolio on a single leveraged trade. Use stop-losses and always calculate your liquidation price before entering — use the Liquidation Calculator for that.
Leverage lets you control a larger position than your actual balance. At 10x leverage, $100 controls a $1,000 position. Profits are amplified — but so are losses.
Long = you profit if the price goes UP. Short = you profit if the price goes DOWN. Choose based on your market outlook.
PnL % = Price Change % × Leverage. If the price moves 5% in your favor with 10x leverage, your PnL is 50%. If it moves against you 10%, you lose 100% of your margin.
Liquidation happens when your losses eat your entire margin. At 10x leverage, a 10% adverse move liquidates you. Always know your liquidation price before entering a trade.
No. Most professional traders use 1x–5x leverage. High leverage (20x–125x) is extremely risky and can wipe your account within minutes on volatile coins.
