FAQ

Leverage trading crypto allows traders to increase their buying power by borrowing funds. The amount of leverage determines the ratio between a trader’s funds and the borrowed amount.

On WhiteBIT, available leverage levels include 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, and 10x. Since leveraged crypto trading magnifies both potential profits and losses, risk management is crucial.

A position in crypto margin trading is an open trade where a trader aims to profit from price changes. There are two types.


Long Position (Buy): A trader expects the price to increase. Example: Let's say you have 10,000 USDT on your balance and the price for 1 BTC is 10,000 USDT. If you use 5x leverage, you can open a Long position by buying 5 BTC. If BTC costs rise to 11,000 USDT for 1 BTC, you can close your position and make a profit. In this case, your profit will be 5000 USDT (5 BTC * 1000 USDT = 5000 USDT).


Short Position (Sell): A trader expects the price to decrease. Example: Let's say you have 1 BTC, and the price for 1 BTC is 10,000 USDT. If you use 5x leverage, you can open a Short position by selling 5 BTC. Then, if the price of BTC drops to 9,000 USDT for 1 BTC, you can close your position and make a profit. Your profit will also be 5000 USDT (5 BTC * 1000 USDT = 5000 USDT).

WhiteBIT supports Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT), Solana (SOL), Ripple (XRP), Litecoin (LTC), Cardano (ADA), and more. To see the complete list of available crypto leverage trading pairs, check the Margin Trading section on WhiteBIT.

Margin trading comes with significant risks that traders need to manage carefully. One of the biggest dangers is liquidation, which happens when a trader's margin balance drops too low, forcing the exchange to close position automatically. Before liquidation occurs, a margin call may be issued, warning the trader that their funds are insufficient and additional collateral is required to keep the position open.


Market volatility adds another layer of risk, as sudden price fluctuations can lead to unexpected losses even for well-planned trades. Since margin trading involves leverage, these price swings are magnified, meaning traders can lose money faster than regular spot trading. While leverage increases potential profits, it also amplifies losses, making risk management essential.

Additionally, traders must consider the cost of borrowing funds. Using leverage isn’t free — interest fees apply to borrowed funds and accumulate over time, making long-term positions more expensive. Without careful planning, these fees can erode potential profits or even turn a winning trade into a losing one.

Several methods exist for reducing margin trading fees on WhiteBIT. One of the most effective is holding WBT (WhiteBIT Coin), which grants traders discounts on trading fees and borrowing rates. Another option is using USDTB bonus funds, which can help cover futures trading fees, lowering overall costs.
