What Happens When You Change Your Leverage on Pluang Crypto Futures?

On Pluang Crypto Futures, you set your leverage level before placing an order — once that order is submitted, the leverage tied to it is locked and cannot be changed, so any adjustment has to happen before you confirm the trade. Adjusting leverage takes effect immediately and only applies to new positions on that specific contract; it does not affect the maintenance margin or liquidation price of positions you already have open, since those were fixed the moment your existing order was submitted. Changing your leverage setting is entirely forward-looking, shaping only the initial margin required for your very next new order on that contract.

What actually changes when you adjust leverage:

• The initial margin requirement for your next new position follows the leverage level you've just set.
• The change is specific to that one contract — adjusting leverage on BTCUSD-PERP has no effect whatsoever on your ETHUSDT-PERP orders or positions.
• The new leverage level is reflected immediately as soon as you change it during the order-creation process.
• Maintenance margin stays fixed — it's calculated from the contract's highest available leverage tier, not from the leverage you personally select.

Q: Does changing leverage apply to all my open contracts?
No. A leverage change only applies to the specific contract you adjusted — other contracts you hold, even ones tracking similar assets, are not affected in any way.

Q: When do leverage changes take effect?
Immediately — the new leverage level is visible as soon as you change it during the order-creation process, before you confirm and submit the order.

Q: Does changing leverage affect maintenance margin or liquidation price?
No. Maintenance margin is fixed at the contract's highest leverage tier, so it and the liquidation price stay the same on positions you already have open.

Q: Can I change my leverage after placing an order?
No. Once an order is placed, its leverage is locked for the life of that position — set the leverage you want before submitting the order.

Q: What margin does my leverage change actually affect?
It affects the initial margin required to open your next new position on that contract, not the maintenance margin or liquidation price of any position you already hold.
