How it works
Effective leverage is position value divided by account margin.
The required margin uses the leverage setting you plan to choose.
Formula & methodology
Leverage = Position ÷ Margin Required margin = Position ÷ Leverage setting Move to lose margin ≈ 1 ÷ Leverage
Exchanges liquidate before margin hits zero because of maintenance margin and fees.
Illustrative example
$10,000 position on $1,000
That's 10× leverage. A 10% adverse move would roughly wipe out the margin — liquidation would usually come sooner.
Hypothetical figures for illustration only.
