What is the Difference Between Maximum Bitcoin Trading Leverage and Used Bitcoin Trading Leverage?

You should not that there is a difference between maximum bitcoin crypto currency trading leverage ( bitcoin trading leverage given by your broker which is the highest cryptocurrency leverage you can trade with if you select to) & used bitcoin trading leverage ( bitcoin trading leverage depending on the lots you have opened/open trade positions). One is the broker's (Maximum) & the other is trader's (Used). To explain this particular concept we will use the trading example above:

If your crypto broker has given you 100:1 Max cryptocurrency leverage, but you only open lots of $100,000 then Used bitcoin trading leverage is:

100,000 : $10,000 dollars (your money)

10:1 Used Bitcoin Trading Leverage

You've used 10:1 cryptocurrency leverage, but your maximum cryptocurrency leverage is still 100:1. This means that even if you're given 100:1 Maximum bitcoin trading leverage or 200:1 Max bitcoin trading leverage, you do not have to use all of it. It's best to keep your used bitcoin leverage to a maximum of 10:1 but you'll still select 100:1 maximum leverage ratio for your bitcoin trading account. The extra bitcoin trading leverage will give you what we call Free BTCUSD Margin, As long as you have Free margin on your trading account then your trades will not get closed by your crypto broker because this margin requirement will remain above required level.

When it comes to trading bitcoin trading one of your bitcoin trading rules: bitcoin equity management rules on your btcusd trade plan should be to use leverage ratio below 5:1.

Bitcoin Trading Leverage Example

The example illustrated below, the set leverage is 100:1, the margin which is 1 percentage% is $2683.07, therefore the total amount controlled by the trader is: $268,307 - this is because with this leverage the trader has used little of his money & borrowed the rest of the amount, with this set at 100:1, the trader is using 1 percent% of their trading capital, this 1% is equal to $2683.07, if 1% is equivalent to $2683.07 dollars then 100% is $268,307
