What does leverage digital currency mean
how to use leverage
1. Long (buy up)
here, take BTC / usdt leverage trading as an example (usdt vs. US dollar, 1 usdt = US dollar) to introce how to use bitcoin leverage. Assuming that the current price of bitcoin is US $10000, and you predict that the price will rise in the near future, you can choose to be long.
if you have only 10000 usdt principal and the platform is triple leverage, you can borrow another 20000 usdt from the trading platform, so the principal is now 30000 usdt; If it is 5 times leverage, it can borrow 40000 usdt, 10 times leverage is 90000 usdt... And so on
buy three bitcoins with 30000 usdt, sell them when they reach 20000 usdt, and get 60000 US dollars of bitcoin, dect 10000 principal and 20000 loan, and make a profit of 30000 US dollars
if you don't use leverage trading, you can only make a profit of 10000 usdt if you buy a bitcoin at 10000 usdt
of course, if the judgment is wrong, bitcoin will only lose 5000 usdt in currency trading and 15000 usdt in leverage trading
2. Short (buy down)
take BTC / usdt triple leverage trading as an example. At present, the price of bitcoin is 20000 usdt. If you think that the price of bitcoin will drop to 10000 usdt, and you have 10000 usdt in your hand, you can borrow one bitcoin from the platform (short can only borrow the currency you choose to short), and sell it when the price of bitcoin is 20000 usdt, Then, when the bitcoin price is 10000 usdt, buy it back to the platform, and you can make a profit of 10000 usdt
in fact, bitcoin leveraged trading plays a role in amplifying revenue, but it also magnifies risk
