How to Adjust Leverage on Futures Contracts
Change your leverage level for any futures contract. Learn how leverage affects margin requirements and liquidation prices.
Open the Leverage Panel
On the Futures trading screen, tap the leverage display (e.g., '20x') near the top of the order panel. A slider and input field will appear, allowing you to adjust leverage from 1x to the maximum available for that contract.
Understand Leverage Tiers
Midas uses a tiered leverage system. Maximum leverage depends on the contract and your position size. Major pairs like BTC/USDT may allow up to 125x for smaller positions, with the maximum decreasing as position size grows. This protects both you and the platform from excessive risk at large sizes.
Set Your Desired Leverage
Drag the slider or type your preferred leverage multiplier. Higher leverage means you need less margin to open the same position size, but your liquidation price will be closer to your entry price. Lower leverage requires more margin but gives the position more room before liquidation.
Review the Impact
Before confirming, review how the new leverage level changes your required margin and estimated liquidation price. The Futures Calculator (accessible from the tools menu) lets you model different scenarios to find the right balance between capital efficiency and risk tolerance.
Risk Disclaimer
Futures trading involves significant risk. Leveraged positions can result in losses exceeding your initial investment. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Only trade with funds you can afford to lose. This tutorial is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.
