Calculate an illustrative leveraged position
This tool uses wager × leverage and a simple inverse-leverage price relationship. It does not calculate Moon fees, spreads, holding charges, execution effects or platform adjustments.
How to read the three outputs
Position size
Position size is the easiest figure to calculate: multiply the wager by the selected leverage. A $25 wager at 50x creates $1,250 of illustrative exposure. Exposure is not the amount deposited and it is not a guaranteed payout.
Approximate adverse movement
The calculator displays 100 divided by the leverage multiplier. At 50x, the simplified adverse distance is about 2%; at 100x it is about 1%; at 1000x it is about 0.1%. This is a teaching shortcut, not a settlement formula.
Simple Bust estimate
For an Up view, the estimate is placed below entry; for Down, above entry. The actual Moon.com Bust Price can differ because the product applies its current pricing and fee mechanics.
Before launching any wager, treat Moon.com's displayed Bust Price and fee summary as authoritative. Never substitute this calculator for the platform's values.
What this calculator deliberately excludes
- Opening and performance fees.
- Possible time-based or holding costs.
- Price-source differences and market spread.
- Fast-market execution and latency.
- Product limits that vary by asset or jurisdiction.
- Changes Moon may make after this page was reviewed.
Why comparing settings matters
Suppose Bitcoin moves 0.5% against an Up position. At 10x, that movement represents approximately a 5% effect on the wager before costs. At 100x, the same market move represents approximately 50%. At 1000x, it is larger than the simplified distance to a full loss.
The market event did not change; only the multiplier changed. This is why selecting leverage should begin with ordinary volatility and acceptable loss—not the largest potential position size.
