Risk Warning
At 10x leverage, a 10.00% adverse price move will liquidate your entire position. Always use stop losses and never risk more than 1-2% of your portfolio per trade.

Intelligent analysis of your leverage setup and risk profile.
At 10x leverage, you only need a 10.00% price move against you to be liquidated. High leverage amplifies both gains and losses proportionally. A 5% market move at 10x = a 50% account change.
Tip: Most retail traders who use >20x leverage lose their positions within the first week.
New to leveraged trading? Start with 2x-3x leverage — even 10x is considered aggressive for beginners. Focus on position sizing rather than high leverage to manage risk.
Essential concepts every trader needs to know.
A leverage calculator shows you how borrowed capital amplifies your trading results. With 10x leverage, your $10,000 capital controls a $100,000.00 position. Each 1% price move equals a 10% move in your account equity — both up and down.
Your initial margin of $1,000.00 (10.0% of position) is the collateral required to open this 10x position. If the market moves against you and your margin drops below the maintenance threshold, you'll receive a margin call. If ignored, the exchange will liquidate your position at $45,000.00.
The liquidation price is the price at which your position is automatically closed. For your long position, liquidation occurs at $45,000.00 — just 10.00% away. The higher your leverage, the closer your liquidation price sits to your entry.
Isolated margin limits losses to the margin allocated to this position, protecting your remaining balance. Cross margin uses your entire wallet balance as collateral, which increases liquidation risk but can prevent premature liquidation. Beginners should always use isolated margin.
Professional traders use leverage calculators to determine optimal position sizes based on account size and risk tolerance. A general rule: your total leveraged exposure should not exceed 2-3x your total portfolio value. Higher leverage is best reserved for high-conviction, short-term trades with tight stop losses.
