How Leverage and Margin Work on Mochatrade

Leverage lets a small margin control a larger position, up to 50x depending on the symbol. It magnifies both profits and losses, but with isolated margin the most you can lose on a position is the margin you posted for it.

Prerequisites & Limits

  • Maximum leverage: up to 50x, depending on the symbol.

  • Example: at 10x leverage, ₹1,000 of margin controls a ₹10,000 position.

  • Higher leverage, higher risk: it controls a bigger position with less margin, but losses grow just as fast. Size positions you're comfortable with.

  • Margin is the amount you set aside to open and maintain a position. Position value is the total size you control.

  • Isolated margin only: a losing position can't touch your other funds.

Step-by-Step Navigation

  1. Open any contract (Global Futures, Crypto, Indices or Commodities) and enter a trade size.

  2. Change the leverage at the top of the order panel and watch the margin required update.

  3. Review the margin required and liquidation price (est.) before you place the order.

Common Failures & Troubleshooting

  • Leverage slider stops below 50x: Maximum leverage varies by symbol. That contract has a lower cap.

  • My position is close to liquidation: High leverage puts your liquidation price closer to entry. Add margin or reduce size.
