Leverage is a common financial transaction system, namely margin system

Leverage trading is also called virtual trading and deposit trading. That is to say, investors use their own funds as guarantee to enlarge the financing provided by banks or brokers to carry out foreign exchange transactions, that is, to enlarge the trading funds of investors. The proportion of financing is generally decided by banks or brokers. The larger the proportion of financing is, the less capital customers need to pay

leverage trading operation process:

1. Take BTC / usdt as an example, if the platform supports up to three times leverage

when judging that the price of bitcoin will rise from 10000 usdt to 20000 usdt, if you have 10000 usdt of principal, you can borrow up to 20000 usdt from the platform. Use 30000 usdt to buy 3btc at the price of 10000 usdt and sell it at the price of 20000 usdt, with a profit of 3btc * (20000-10000) = 30000 usdt

2. Take BTC / usdt as an example, if the platform supports up to 3 times leverage

when it is judged that the price of bitcoin will drop from 20000 usdt to 10000 usdt, with a principal of 10000 usdt (0.5btc), you can borrow 1btc from the platform, sell one bitcoin at 20000 usdt, and buy it at 10000 usdt, making a profit of 10000 usdt

if you only trade with your own funds, you can only buy low and sell high, not short

3. Calculation method of leverage lending rate:

from the time of applying for leverage, the interest will be calculated as 24 hours in less than 24 hours, and the loan funds and interest will be returned when the leverage is returned

4, the risk of leverage Trading:

leverage makes use of less capital to realize the possibility of obtaining greater returns. But if the wrong direction of the transaction is judged, the loss will also be enlarged year on year. Therefore, ordinary traders try to avoid the high leverage of heavy trading, to prevent the occurrence of burst positions or even through positions

(1) reasonable use of leverage ratio and control of position

(2) stop profit and loss timely and close positions spontaneously

(3) margin should be added in time to ensure that the ratio of total assets to leverage is greater than 110%

1. Loan account:

each loan transaction pair corresponds to a loan account. For example, ETH / BTC will correspond to an eth / BTC loan account (including two sub accounts of Eth and BTC)

users can transfer Eth and BTC monetary assets in the transaction account to eth / BTC lending account; Eth / BTC loan account can be applied for loan in two types of currency assets: Eth and BTC

2. Fund transfer:

users can't recharge to the loan account directly for the time being, so they can transfer the funds from the transaction account to the loan account by fund transfer

(1) when the user borrows, the part of the loan account with a risk rate higher than 200% can be transferred out to the transaction account

(2) when the user has no loan, all the available funds in the account can be transferred out to the transaction account

3. Apply for loan:

the user enters the loan management and selects the loan account to apply for loan assets. The amount of digital currency that the user can apply for loan depends on the account principal and platform leverage ratio. The maximum amount of loan that the user can apply for is net asset conversion (BTC) × Multiple - 1) - borrowed assets

for example, if the maximum leverage ratio of the platform is 3 times, the number of digital currencies that users can borrow is 2 times of the principal

5. Leverage trading, as the name suggests, is to use small amount of funds to invest several times the original amount in order to obtain multiple returns or losses relative to the fluctuation of the investment object. As the increase or decrease of margin (the small amount of funds) does not move according to the fluctuation ratio of the underlying assets, the risk is very high

leverage trading is also known as virtual trading and deposit trading. That is to say, investors use their own funds as guarantee to enlarge the financing provided by banks or brokers to carry out foreign exchange transactions, that is, to enlarge the trading funds of investors. The proportion of financing is generally decided by banks or brokers. The larger the proportion of financing is, the less capital customers need to pay

the international financing multiple or leverage ratio is between 20 times and 400 times, and the standard contract in the foreign exchange market is RMB 100000 per hand (which refers to the base currency, that is, the currency before the currency pair). If the leverage ratio provided by the broker is 20 times, it will cost RMB 5000 per hand (if the currency of the transaction is different from that of the account guarantee gold coin, It is necessary to convert the amount of deposit; If the leverage ratio is 100 times, a margin of 1000 yuan is required for the transaction. The reason why banks or brokers dare to provide a larger proportion of financing is that the daily average fluctuation of the foreign exchange market is very small, only about 1%, and the foreign exchange market is continuous trading. With perfect technical means, banks or brokers can completely use less margin of investors to resist market fluctuations without having to bear their own risks. Foreign exchange guarantee metal is used for spot trading, and has some characteristics of futures trading, such as trading contract and providing financing, but its position can be held for a long time until it is voluntarily or compulsorily closed
