How does Smart Leverage work?

Smart Leverage shields leveraged positions from liquidation by allowing you to enter high-leverage trades without the risk of liquidation before settlement.

Traditional Derivatives Trading

In traditional Derivatives trading, a trader entering a long position with 100x leverage risks liquidation with just a 1% price change.

Smart Leverage

With Smart Leverage, you can select leverage products based on your risk preferences. Price fluctuations before settlement time do not impact your invested amount, even if it falls below the breakeven price.

Trading Performance

• The outcome is determined only at settlement time.

• If the settlement price is greater than or equal to (for long positions), or less than or equal to the breakeven price, it's considered a win.

• Conversely, if the settlement price is lower (for long positions) or higher (for short positions) than the breakeven price, the entire invested amount is lost.
