Can I change the maximum leverage on Isolated Margin in Binance?

[mkdestroy]

I have seen that in Binance Futures there is a maximum leverage of 125, but unfortunatelly there are restrictions from my country so I cant open an account on futures, therefore I have sent my USDC to the Isolated Margin, but the maximum leverage is only 10. Is there a way to change that or is that just what I can do?

The maximum leverage for margin trading on all exchanges that I have used including Binance is 10x. Derivative trading (Futures) is different from Margin trading.

Avoid leverage.

The only advantage about derivative trading is that you can be able to open short position. But do not see high leverage as an advantage. It will likely drain your money.

That's a shame, but thanks anyways.

Not that I would encourage you to use very high leverages for trading. Stuff like 100x and above is like a pure gamble (you either hit it or miss it and chances of missing are higher) but have you tried checking out alternative platforms apart from Binance?
I mean the likes of MEXC, OKX, BingX, Bybit?

Sometimes Binance could be restricting you because of the regulatory agreement they had with your jurisdiction, but on checking out another platform, the restrictions might not yet be in place.

I don't know whether it is possible for changing maximum leverage cap on your account. I doubt it is impossible and not allowed by Binance, because it's like specific restriction on your nation.

Seriously, I would like to ask you, do you think 125 leverage is safe to use?
Honestly with you too, even 10x leverage is very risky with me, and I'd recommend you to don't use leverage higher than x2.

Asking for higher leverages than x10 or up to x125, is very dangerous intention to play and gamble with your trading capital.

Speaking of other exchanges, I remember seeing ads about 100 leverages from a new crypto exchange that I had never heard of before. Their marketing looks fake, though, so I suspect it's either a scam or a low-quality one.

I'm not sure how experienced OP is with leverage trading, but judging from his post history, OP trades alts regularly. Good luck to you, OP. I hope you don't get burned out from doing high-risk, high-profile trades.

I would not recommend MEXC if I were you. The maximum amount leverage there for Bitcoin, and Ethereum is x400.
I mean imagine entering a short or long position at x400 then you just went to bathroom and the moment you go back and look at your trade after 1 minute, you've got liquidated already. I wouldn't recommend MEXC for those who always think of revenge trading.
Kidding aside, I guess this is the best thing that you can do OP. Find another CEX that will be better for your trading experience. I'm also using Binance for months when I'm futures trading, but decided to switch to Bitget and then now I'm using MEXC (since I'm not a revenge trader anymore)

I ran into this with Binance, some countries can't do Futures trading, so no 125x leverage for me. With Isolated Margin, you'll stuck at 10x and that's the max, no wiggle room. I've heard other exchanges might let you go higher but if I were you, I'd double check they're safe, legit and easy to cash out from. There are also those DEX platforms with fewer rules but they feel riskier to me. Either way, i'm keeping it smart, high leverage can bite you hard!

Yep. 10x is already quite a big number to play around with.

Have you tried cross margin? Or try to switch to other pair?
I don't know if I remember correctly but I have a similar case before. So switching to cross margin will lift the limit just make sure that you don't have other funds than USDC.
Or switch to other pair like doge or ada to USDC maybe the current pair you use have some limits.

I haven't experience this on OKX and Bitget so I think if my suggestion above doesn't work just like other said try to switch to other exchanges.

I have ever had my position get liquidated with in a minute before I even set a stop loss, and it was just 50x if I recall well. That day market was dropping real fast. Little did I know that the up and down volatility was also massive.

Can you imagine opening a position and then a few seconds later you just see a liquidation notice?
I almost lost my mind.

Experience they say is the best tutor and when applied to the market, it's been really one tough feature for everyone. Crypto is broad, Cross margins will do the Magix? Well you'll never have a clue until you try it out. We can be more intrigued when our mapping in the market is been executed carefully. OKX and Bitget are solid crypto exchanges, we can prove ourselves to be worthy of every potential opportunities offered in the market. I sincerely suggest other crypto exchanges would work if OP is having severe hurdles with Binance.

If you want to trading futures you can collect more information about your country through the help center of the Binance Exchange or their live chat support and work according to their instructions. In my opinion, rules for some countries or certain regions may be limited to which your account has been executed. There are some differences between market and futures leverage in Binance. Since you are trading on USDC isolated margin and there are 10 leverage available, it may be limited to your account location and restrictions on your country. Although Binance futures usually offer up to 125 leverage, the leverage is usually lower in isolated margin trading. If I say it alone, you’ll stay away from such futures trading. Because I know this futures trading as a death trap. Because I lost a lot of money from this futures training.
