In contract trading, choosing a reasonable leverage multiple requires comprehensive consideration of several factors, including risk tolerance, market volatility, trading strategy, and capital management. Here are some key suggestions to help you make more reasonable decisions:

--- 1. Low Leverage (1-5x)

- Suitable Audience: Beginners, conservative traders, or in high-volatility markets (such as cryptocurrencies).

- Advantages: Low liquidation risk, large margin for error, suitable for medium to long-term holdings.

- Scenario: Used in trend trading, hedging risks.

--- 2. Medium Leverage (5-10x)

- Suitable Audience: Traders with certain experience who can judge short-term direction.

- Advantages: Balances returns and risks, suitable for swing trading.

- Note: Strict stop losses must be set (e.g., 1%-3% position stop loss).

--- 3. High Leverage (over 10x)

- Suitable Audience: Professional traders, adept at short-term or high-frequency trading.

- Risk: Minor price fluctuations may lead to liquidation (e.g., with 20x leverage, a 5% reversal can wipe out the account).

- Recommendation: Only for small positions for quick in-and-out trades, avoid heavy positions.

--- Key Considerations

1. Market Volatility

- Bitcoin, altcoins, etc., have high volatility, recommended leverage ≤ 10x; forex, commodities, etc., have lower volatility, can be slightly increased.

2. Account Capital Amount

- The smaller the capital, the greater the risk of high leverage. For example, a $1000 account with 20x leverage can be liquidated with a 10% fluctuation.

3. Stop Loss Discipline

- High leverage must be paired with stop loss. For example, with 5x leverage, set the stop loss at 2%-3% below the entry price.

4. Trading Strategy

- Arbitrage/hedging strategies can moderately increase leverage; trend trading recommends low leverage.

Classic Risk Control Methods

- Rule: Single trade losses should not exceed 2% of total capital.

- For example: A $10,000 account with 5x leverage and a 2% stop loss can open a position of about $5000 (i.e., 0.5 BTC, assuming BTC price is $10,000).

- If you can tolerate a 5% loss and set the stop loss at 1%, then leverage ≤ 5x.

Example Explanation

- Conservative: 3x leverage, 5% stop loss, suitable for Bitcoin trend trading.

- Aggressive: 10x leverage, stop loss 1%, only for short-term breakout markets

Summary Recommendations

- Beginners: Start with 1-3x, adjust after familiarizing with the market.

- Experienced: Choose 5-10x based on strategy, with strict stop losses.

- Always avoid: Full margin high leverage (e.g., over 50x), this is gambling, not trading.

Leverage is a double-edged sword; when used properly, it can amplify returns, but misuse can lead to rapid losses. Be sure to test on a demo account before trading live.
