Leverage in trading allows you to control a larger position in the market with a relatively small amount of capital. It is expressed as a ratio, such as 1:100, meaning you can control $100,000 worth of a position with just $1,000 in margin. While leverage can amplify potential profits, it also increases risk, as losses are also magnified.

How Tiered Leverage Works

 

Tiered leverage applies different leverage levels depending on the size of a trader’s position. As trade volume increases, leverage is reduced to manage risk more effectively.

For example, consider the following tiered leverage structure we offer for Bitcoin (BTCUSD):

 

  • 0–25 lots: 1:100 leverage
  • 25–50 lots: 1:50 leverage
  • 50+ lots: 1:20 leverage

 

If a trader opens a 30-lot position, the leverage is applied in tiers:

 

  • The first 25 lots are leveraged at 1:100.
  • The remaining 5 lots are leveraged at 1:50.

 

If the trader opens a 60-lot position:

 

  • The first 25 lots are leveraged at 1:100.
  • The next 25 lots are at 1:50.
  • The final 10 lots are at 1:20.

  • Trading Recommendations: To keep your account swap-free, it’s best to trade mainly during the day and avoid holding positions overnight.


BlackBull Markets reserves the right to:

  • Cancel Swap-Free Status: If necessary, we may revoke the swap-free status from any account.

  • Apply Swap Charges: Once swap-free status is removed, swap charges can apply to both existing and future orders.

In trading, swaps are adjustments made to your trade when it’s held overnight. These can be either double swaps or triple swaps.


A double swap is the usual nightly adjustment for holding a trade. It can work for or against you, depending on the interest rate difference between the currencies.


Triple swaps, however, happen on Wednesday nights. This adjustment accounts for three days—Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday—to cover interest over the weekend when markets are closed. Like double swaps, they can be either positive or negative.


The triple swap is simply the daily swap rate multiplied by three.


When holding positions overnight, always factor in swaps and triple swaps in your trading plan.
