What Leverage Levels Can I Choose on Pluang Crypto Futures?

You can choose leverage anywhere from 1x up to a maximum of 25x, selected per contract before you open a position, rather than one fixed ratio applied across your whole account. Most of Pluang's active Crypto Futures contracts support up to 25x — BAT, FIL, and ZRX are capped at a maximum of 10x as a risk-management measure. Whatever level you choose, your leverage is set before you submit the order, and it applies per contract; you can run a different leverage level on another contract at the same time. Higher leverage means a larger position for the same amount of margin, so both potential profits and potential losses move faster and further relative to your capital. This isn't a way to reduce risk — it genuinely increases how quickly an adverse price move can erode your margin and bring you closer to liquidation, so the leverage you pick should reflect how much risk you're actually prepared to take on that specific trade.

A few things worth knowing about the range:

• Not every pair supports the full 1x–25x range. BAT, FIL, and ZRX are capped at a maximum of 10x leverage as part of Pluang's risk controls — always check the specific contract's cap before opening a position, since it varies by pair.
• Leverage is set before you open a position, not adjusted automatically afterward — you choose the level that fits your risk appetite for that specific trade before you submit the order.
• Higher leverage means faster, larger swings in both directions, so picking a leverage level is really a decision about how much risk you're comfortable taking on that position, not just a way to maximize potential upside.
• The choice is per contract, not account-wide — you can run 5x on one position and 20x on another simultaneously, as long as each contract's individual cap allows it.

Q: Is the leverage range the same for every Crypto Futures pair?
No. Most of Pluang's active contracts support up to 25x; BAT, FIL, and ZRX are capped at a maximum of 10x for risk management reasons. Always check the specific contract's cap before opening a position, since assuming the full 25x range is available everywhere can lead to a rejected or unexpectedly sized order, especially if you're trading a pair for the first time without reviewing its listing details.

Q: Can I change my leverage after opening a position?
Set the leverage you want before you submit the order. Leverage applies per contract, and the leverage that applies to a position determines its initial margin and liquidation price — not its maintenance margin rate, which is set from the contract's maximum leverage. Lowering leverage needs more margin, and open orders on the contract can block a leverage change. The app shows the resulting margin and liquidation price before you confirm.

Q: Does higher leverage mean higher potential profit?
Higher leverage increases both potential profit and potential loss at the same rate — it amplifies outcomes in both directions, not just gains. A larger position built on the same margin means every price move, favorable or not, translates into a proportionally larger change in your account balance, which is why leverage choice is fundamentally a risk decision, not a shortcut to guaranteed returns.

Q: What's the minimum leverage I can select?
The minimum is 1x, which means your position size matches your margin one-to-one with no amplification at all. This is the lowest-risk leverage setting available and is often used by traders who want direct price exposure without magnifying potential losses, effectively trading Crypto Futures the way they would a spot position.

Q: Why are BAT, FIL, and ZRX capped lower than other contracts?
The 10x cap on these three contracts is a risk-management measure intended to keep the trading experience more stable on pairs Pluang has identified as needing tighter controls, and it applies to new leverage selections on those contracts going forward, while the other active contracts remain unaffected and still support up to 25x.
