Understand how leverage works on Dexly and how to manage your margin to avoid liquidations.
Leverage allows you to trade with more money than you actually have in your account. For example, with 10x leverage, a $1,000 deposit allows you to open a $10,000 position.
Dexly offers two ways to manage your risk:
| Feature | Isolated | Cross |
|---|---|---|
| Collateral | Specific amount | Full balance |
| Liquidation Risk | Single position | Entire account |
| Best For | High leverage | Portfolio hedging |

Liquidation happens when your account no longer has enough margin to cover the losses of your open positions.
Successful traders don't just pick winners; they manage losers. Here is a checklist to help you stay in the game:
Never enter a trade without a predefined exit point for losses.
Begin with 2x-5x leverage until you master the platform.
Keep an eye on your Margin Ratio in the dashboard stats.
In isolated mode, you can add margin to a losing trade to lower liquidation.
