Leverage

Leverage multiplies the size of the position relative to the allocated amount. The bot can take it from the signal or use your value — for all pairs at once or for individual symbols.

What it is

On futures the trade amount is the margin, and the position = margin × leverage. At x10 leverage a 1 % price move changes the margin by roughly 10 %. By default a new bot takes the leverage from the signal. On spot there is no leverage.

If your settings define a leverage for a pair, the leverage from the signal is ignored — the bot says so directly: “Note: for all pairs where leverage is set in the config (not "from signal"), it will be used, and leverage from the signal will be ignored.”

Where it is in the bot

Signal bot card → Trading settings → Margin & leverage → Leverage. The current values are listed on the screen under “Current leverage values:”.

How to set it up

Leverage is entered as text in one of these formats:

all - <leverage>        for all Linear pairs
other - <leverage>      for everything except individually configured pairs
<symbol> - <leverage>   for one specific pair

Instead of a number you can write signal — then the leverage is taken from the signal. Examples: all-5, BTCUSDT-10, other-signal.

The bot warns: “The selected leverage will be applied to all Linear trading pairs. (If the set value exceeds the maximum for a pair, the maximum will be used)”. Before applying it asks for confirmation: “Change leverage for BTCUSDT (5 → 10)?”.

Risk warnings

• 25x–49x — when you set it manually the bot shows “⚠️⚠️ HIGH RISK! You are setting leverage to 25x. A 1% adverse move will cost about 25% of your margin. At 25x liquidation is possible after just a 4% move. Confirm that you understand the risk.”
• 50x and above — a separate confirmation: “⚠️⚠️⚠️ EXTREME RISK! … at 50x liquidation happens on a 2% move, at 100x on just 1%. Most traders lose their deposit at such leverage.”

If the high leverage came from the signal, no confirmation is asked — the trade has to be opened at once — but the opening notification carries a warning: “⚠️ HIGH RISK: the trade is opened with 30x leverage. … To stop the bot from taking leverage from the signal, set your own value: bot settings → "Margin and leverage" → Custom.”

Example with a calculation

Trade amount 100 USDT, LONG entry at 60,000.

Leverage	Position	Price fell 3 % (58,200)	Loss as share of margin
x5	500 USDT	−15 USDT	15 %
x10	1,000 USDT	−30 USDT	30 %
x25	2,500 USDT	−75 USDT	75 %

At x25 one more move of the same size and there is no margin left: that is exactly what the bot warns about with the words “at 25x liquidation is possible after just a 4% move”.

Limits and allowed values

Parameter	Range	Note
Leverage in a signal	1–999	above the pair maximum the exchange trims it to the maximum
Leverage for all / other	from 1 to the maximum available to your account	the upper bound is shown in the refusal text
Leverage of Grid and DCA bots	1–20	set in the creation wizard, not here
Individual leverage cap	set by support	a message about the restriction is not a failure
Changing leverage on a pair	only with no open trade on that pair	—

Common errors and what the bot says

• “Leverage for ALL and OTHER must be in the range of 1 to …” — the number is outside the allowed range; instead of the ellipsis the bot inserts the upper bound available to your account.
• “The "other" option is only available when you have individually configured symbols” — first set the leverage for at least one pair, then other.
• “The symbol you entered was not found” — check the spelling, for example BTCUSDT.
• “Cannot change leverage: there is an open trade for this pair” — wait for the trade to close.
• “⛔️ Trade #1403 was NOT opened: failed to set leverage on the exchange. Reason: "…". Common reasons: the requested leverage exceeds the maximum allowed by the exchange for this pair; the leverage change would trigger immediate liquidation; or there is an open position/orders on this pair. Lower the leverage to an allowed value or close the position on the exchange and try again.”
• “⚠️ Position risk limit exceeded for the current leverage. What to do: reduce the trade size or lower the leverage — the exchange limits maximum leverage for large positions.”
