What leverage means on Moon.com
Moon.com currently offers leverage from 1x up to 1000x where available. Leverage multiplies how strongly market movement affects a bet. It does not make a prediction more likely to be correct.
Position-size formula
$10 × 100x = $1,000 of exposure. $10 × 1000x = $10,000 of exposure.
The fee calculation and payout mechanics are separate from this basic exposure formula. Review the live wager summary for current values.
What is the Bust Price?
The Bust Price is the adverse reference-price level at which Moon automatically settles a bet as lost. It is shown before confirmation. More leverage places the Bust Price closer to the entry price because a smaller movement produces the maximum loss.
Illustrative relationship
- 1x: much more price movement is required to lose the full wager.
- 10x: the bet reacts ten times more strongly than at 1x.
- 100x: an adverse move of around 1% can consume the wager before fees and execution effects.
- 1000x: an adverse move of around 0.1% can consume the wager.
Maximum loss is capped, but risk remains high
Moon.com's current terms say a user cannot lose more than the wager on an individual bet. This is a loss cap, not a safety guarantee. A high-leverage bet can still lose 100% of the wager within seconds, and repeated bets can lose the full account balance.
How to choose leverage more carefully
- Use Play Money before using real funds.
- Start with lower leverage to observe normal volatility.
- Read the wager summary and Bust Price.
- Understand opening, performance and possible holding fees.
- Risk only an amount you can afford to lose completely.
