BTC/USD trade example: with/without leverage?


WITH 100:1 LEVERAGE

Let's buy 10 Bitcoins at the price of $10,000 each.
Trading order total = 10 x $10,000 = $100,000

Applying 100:1 leverage, the actual price paid for this trade would be $1000, which is 1% of the $100,000 traded.

Out profit, if BTC/USD rises to 3%, is $3000. Not bad, considering that we put only $1000 into this trade.
That is the power of 100:1 leverage being used for buying BTC/USD.

NON-LEVERAGED

Let's buy 10 Bitcoins at the price of $10,000 each.
Trading order total = 10 x $10,000 = $100,000

Without leverage, we are required to pay the entire $100,000 sum to make this trade possible.

Out profit, if BTC/USD rises to 3%, is also $3000.

Same profit results, drastically different capital requirements!

...As always, don't forget it's a double-edged sword: a 3% fall for BTC/USD would mean $3000 loss.
Trade smart, use leverage to your advantage, and don't overtrade on leverage!
