1  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 10x vs 15x Margin Trade Question on: March 26, 2024, 02:47:02 AM
Thanks for all the different answers and the constant warnings about scary leverage trading.  ;-) Much appreciated. Seems like many people are just as confused as I am… I stopped using ROE the instant we figured it out a few days ago. Using PNL now.

Haven't made that many trades as of yet with the new PNL setting. Seems to sorta be a similar issue; Less profit with higher leverage. Have to check it out more.

The one thing I did notice so far is that when I enter a trade say; $1000.00 long @ $100.00 @ 10x leverage taking profit of $10, the PNL rate says 10%.  If I do the exact same trade and only change one variable, the leverage @ 15x, the PNL rate says 15%…

Still trying to wrap my head around that one… Any ideas?

These are the two trades below. They are identical trades other than the leverage (10x and 15x respectively) and the TP.

You could see the leverage level at the top of the trade screen and the TP at the bottom of the trade screen.

The 10x has a $4.97 profit.
The 15x has a $3.31 profit.

I also started a trade at 200x which shows a profit .24c. I posted that as the third trade image.







PS just to dispel all the angst and worry about my use of leverage, Ive been trading leverage with crypto for several years and used to trade leverage NYSE stock contracts. Ive just always gone the 10x route so never had any opportunity to see what a 15x trade looked like until now… So thanks for the concern but no need to address this or give warnings. I am more than well aware of any of all risks. Much thanks for advice, warnings and help!

EDIT;

I see now that the TP is set to ROE. Which I'd imagine that this is the issue. Ive never messed with these settings at all. This is a new exchange for me. The default on this exchange must be ROE. Which Ive yet to look into why and how, when and why ROE used for TP.


I basically want to set the TP to TP when BTC moves 5%.  Which is what I thought that I was doing. I will have to look into ROE, vs the other TP settings. Anyone here familiar?


EDIT #2;

I see now that is is the ROE TP that is lessening the TP amount with higher leverage. Still not sure ow, when or why someone would use this or why it lowers the profit the higher the leverage? This is a new exchange for me and ROE must be the default setting and I just notices it taking screenshots now...

Im making the same trade @15x as I was @10x. Basically $1000 @ 10x and $1000 @ 15x. And I am setting the TP @ 5%. I am getting $5 or so profit when the 10x trade triggers the TP and only $3 or so when the 15x triggers. It seems backwards to me as well. I would think if I used 15x margin the profit would increase or at least be the same when I set the TP @ 5%. There must be some equation or online calculator or someone that knows why this would be?

If I trade 10x vs. 15x will the 10x make more profit than the 15x if I TP @5% or should it be the same amount of profit either 10x or 15x if I set the TP @5% ? For some reason if seems like Im getting less profit per trade when I just upped my margin from 10x to 15x. And I should ask if it is less profit using 15x, why is that? Thanks

PS Not seeing a tool to upload a file/ screenshot here. But can do if someone could tell me where the button is?
