What is Leverage?
Leverage allows you to place larger trades using your margin as collateral.
Therefore, your profits as well as losses are magnified by a multiple of the leverage.
💡Examples of using leverage
| Amount | Description |
| Assets used | 100 USDT |
| Set Leverage | 10x |
| Total position size | 1,000 USDT (by value) |
| Market upside | +2% upside |
| Actual Return | +20% return (2% x 10x) |
| Conversely, on the downside | -2% down → - 20% loss |
As you can see, leverage amplifies both profits and losses, so it requires a careful strategy.
How do I set my leverage?
Before you start trading futures on the exchange, you can set the leverage for each trading pair.
1. Enter the futures trading page
2. Select a trading pair (e.g. BTCUSDT)
3. Click on the leverage multiplier displayed in the order window
4. Adjust the slider or enter a number
Leverage can be set between 1 and up to 100x (varies by trading pair)
⚠️ Leverage must be set before opening the position, and can be modified after opening, but will affect the liquidation price and margin.
