Frequently Asked Questions

Q. At what leverage level does it start to get dangerous?

There's no fixed cutoff, but 50x and above is particularly risky since it can be liquidated by nothing more than crypto's ordinary daily volatility (2-5%). That said, the real risk is set by position sizing, not the multiplier itself.

Q. How can I trade with leverage safely?

Regardless of the notional multiplier, use position sizing so a stop-out only costs 1-2% of your account, and always check that your liquidation price sits comfortably beyond your stop-loss.
