How do I use margin trading?

Leverage in Trading Game (Simulator)

Trading Game is a paper trading simulator. It uses real market prices, but no real money.

In the simulator, you can practice using leverage to see how gains and losses scale when your exposure is multiplied.

How Leverage Works (Simplified)

• You choose a preset trade size (for example: $100, $400, $1,000, $1,500, or $4,000)
• You choose a leverage level: 1×, 5×, 10×, 20×, 30×, or 50×
• Your price movement result is multiplied by the leverage you selected

Calculation Examples

Example 1: Trade size $1,000 with 10× leverage

• Exposure = $1,000 × 10 = $10,000
• If price moves +2%: Profit = $10,000 × 2% = $200
• If price moves -2%: Loss = $10,000 × 2% = $200

Example 2: Trade size $400 with 5× leverage

• Exposure = $400 × 5 = $2,000
• If price moves +3%: Profit = $2,000 × 3% = $60
• If price moves -3%: Loss = $2,000 × 3% = $60

Example 3: Trade size $4,000 with 20× leverage

• Exposure = $4,000 × 20 = $80,000
• If price moves +1%: Profit = $80,000 × 1% = $800
• If price moves -1%: Loss = $80,000 × 1% = $800
