How to Adjust Leverage on Ouinex

Precision is key when managing your trading exposure. Ouinex allows you to select and modify your leverage for each individual asset, giving you the flexibility to scale your risk according to your strategy. Watch the tutorial below or read the instructions for how to adjust leverage on Ouinex. 

1. Selecting Leverage for New Positions

When you prepare to open a trade on Ouinex, you can choose the specific leverage level you want for that asset.

• Example: If you are opening a short position on BTC, you can toggle your leverage to a specific multiplier (e.g., 3x) before placing the order.
• Confirmation: Once placed, your order details will display the exact leverage level currently applied to that trade.

2. How to Edit Leverage on Active Trades

Unlike many platforms that lock in your leverage at the start of a trade, Ouinex allows you to adjust it while the position is still open.

1. Locate Your Position: Find your active trade in the positions menu.
2. Enter Edit Mode: Click on the small pencil icon next to the position.
3. Adjust Levels: From this menu, you can increase or decrease your leverage (e.g., moving from 3x to 6x).
4. Confirm: Once you confirm the change, your trade will update immediately to reflect the new leverage level.

3. Advanced Strategy: Multiple Leverage Levels

Thanks to the sub-wallet system, you are no longer limited to a single leverage setting per asset across your entire account.

You can now trade the same asset in different positions using different leverage levels simultaneously. By using separate sub-wallets, you can run a conservative strategy in one and a more aggressive, high-leverage strategy in another, all within the same Ouinex account.

Key Risks You Should Understand:

• Virtual assets (cryptocurrencies) can lose their value entirely and are subject to extreme volatility. You may lose your entire investment.
• Government policy changes, including shutdowns, can cause severe and sudden market movements. Past market behavior does not predict future results.
• Trading with leverage (derivatives, perpetuals) can result in losses exceeding your initial deposit. At high leverage, a small price movement can liquidate your entire position.
• Crypto is not insured by government protections. If an exchange fails or is hacked, you may lose all funds.
• Market liquidity can disappear during crises. You may not be able to exit positions at expected prices.
