How it works
See how much position your collateral controls at a given leverage, and roughly how far the price can move against you before liquidation.
The liquidation move is a rough guide that ignores maintenance margin and fees. For informational purposes only — not financial advice.
Frequently asked questions
What does leverage mean in trading?
Controlling a position larger than your margin — 10x leverage means $1,000 controls a $10,000 position.
How does leverage affect liquidation?
The higher the leverage, the smaller the adverse move that liquidates you. The tool shows the % move to liquidation.
Is higher leverage better?
No. It magnifies both gains and losses and raises liquidation risk; most risk-managed traders use modest leverage.
