When trading contracts, adjusting the leverage multiplier can help users flexibly amplify profits or control risks based on their own risk tolerance and market judgment. When trading contracts on PerpVia, users can adjust the leverage multiplier before opening a position or after opening a position. The detailed steps are as follows:
I. Adjusting Leverage Before Opening a Position
Choosing the appropriate leverage multiplier before opening a position is very important. The steps are as follows:
1. Enter the Contract Trading Interface
After logging into your PerpVia account, go to the contract trading page and select the contract you want to trade (such as BTC, ETH, etc.). You can search for your trading pair in the upper left corner.
2. Select Leverage Multiplier
- In the 【Leverage】 option on the right side, a leverage adjustment slider will pop up.
- Slide the adjustment bar to select the leverage multiplier you want to use (such as 5x, 10x, 20x, etc.).
3. Confirm Leverage Multiplier
- Confirm the multiplier you selected and click 【Confirm】.
- Once set, the system will automatically apply this leverage multiplier, and you can open a position based on the new multiplier.
II. Adjusting Leverage After Opening a Position
If you already hold a position, you can still adjust the leverage multiplier to manage risk and returns. The steps are as follows:
1. Enter the Current Position Page
On the contract trading page, find the 【Current Positions】 section to view your positions.
2. Select Adjust Leverage
Click the adjustment button next to the position you want to modify.
Use the leverage adjustment slider to increase or decrease the leverage multiplier.
3. Confirm Adjustment
After confirming the new leverage multiplier, click 【Confirm】. The system will immediately update the leverage of your position.
Note: To control risk, increasing leverage will not automatically reduce margin; users need to manually reduce margin.
Disclaimer and Risk Warning
All trading tutorials provided by PerpVia are for educational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice. Adjusting the leverage multiplier directly affects your risk and returns; the higher the multiplier, the greater the potential profits and losses. It is recommended that beginners choose a lower leverage multiplier before opening a position to become familiar with market operations. When adjusting leverage after opening a position, carefully consider the current market conditions to avoid liquidation caused by high leverage.
