If I trade 10x vs. 15x will the 10x make more profit than the 15x if I TP @5% or should it be the same amount of profit either 10x or 15x if I set the TP @5% ? For some reason if seems like Im getting less profit per trade when I just upped my margin from 10x to 15x. And I should ask if it is less profit using 15x, why is that? Thanks

If you are a consistent trader, this question is not really important because you can practically try the 15x margin and set to take profit at 5%, compare the profit from the 10x you are using and the 15x then you will get your solution. 15x has a high yield than 10x but the risk of losing your capital is also high, if you choose 15x you will get more profit than 10x and 5% of it can not be compared 5% of a 10x profit.

10x will literally increase your bet by 10 times.

I would highly highly suggest using a leverage in crypto at a maximum between 3 to 5x. Especially with altcoins, they're volatile as heck!

When you use a higher leverage, you should close your position faster than using a lower leverage. Because you will have less time to let your position opens before the market moves big.

If you aim at 5% profit with 10x leverage, you will have to aim at lower profit like 3% for x15 average.

Don't use leverage is better as you are asking about 10x and 15x leverages that are all high risky for your collateral. Your position will have high risk of forced liquidations.

Don't try to be outsmart and want to beat the market, you will be beaten by the market.

Im making the same trade @15x as I was @10x. Basically $1000 @ 10x and $1000 @ 15x. And I am setting the TP @ 5%. I am getting $5 or so profit when the 10x trade triggers the TP and only $3 or so when the 15x triggers. It seems backwards to me as well. I would think if I used 15x margin the profit would increase or at least be the same when I set the TP @ 5%. There must be some equation or online calculator or someone that knows why this would be?

I think 10x of $1000 is supposed to have been $10,000, right? And while setting the trade to take profit at 5%, such user is expected to have gotten the least $50 as profit, right? So then if yours at each moment seems to be lower than what I gave, then it seems there must be something wrong somewhere, and as such, I think Its better I call on the attention of good traders such as "logfiles" to come tell us what likely to be the issue and solution here. Thanks

Though I'm not a professional when it comes to Future or Margin trading, but looking at this from a mathematical point of view, I think "Taking Profit" @ 5% of 15x will be much more than "Taking Profit" @ 5% of 10x. And secondly, the higher your capital will also determine the higher the profit you are likely to make at each trade. But it your capital is small, same will your profit also be.

PS Not seeing a tool to upload a file/ screenshot here. But can do if someone could tell me where the button is?
