How it works?
There are 2 methods of how leverage works on different exchanges:
Method One
See the list of exchanges in the table below.
The leverage can be changed during the bot setup (the request to change the leverage will be sent immediately to the exchange after pressing "Apply")
Exchanges that adhere to this specific leverage processing methodology:
Binance |
Bybit |
OKX (leverage updates separately for cross and isolated mode) |
Bitget (leverage updates separately for cross and isolated mode. For hedge mode combined with isolated margin we apply leverage for long and short position sides at once) |
Gate IO |
BingX (leverage updates separately for hedge and one-way mode based) |
Woo X |
Bitmex (leverage updates separately for cross and isolated mode) |
Kraken |
Phemex (leverage updates separately for hedge and one-way mode based) |
Kucoin (leverage is sent along with the order that you specify in "order size multiplier" field) |
Important
Right now, you can only change leverage on up to 20 pairs at once.
For example, if your bot uses 10 pairs and 3 API profiles (10×3=30), it won’t work. But if you use 10 pairs and 2 APIs (10×2=20), it’s allowed.
Method Two
Applies to Deribit.
Using the second method WunderTrading sends only the position size to the exchange. However, this does not prevent you from opening leveraged positions.
How the second method works in DCA Bot, Grid Bot, AI Bot and Pump Screener?
The value you enter in the Amount per Trade field determines the size of the position opened on the exchange. The actual leverage applied depends primarily on your exchange's leverage settings.
Example:
If you set Amount per Trade to $100, a $100 position will be opened on the exchange. If your selected trading pair is set to 10x leverage on the exchange, the position will effectively be 10$ 10x. Importantly, the funds used are precisely the amount you specified in the Amount per Trade field. To ensure the correct leverage is applied, adjust your leverage settings directly on the exchange before executing a trade.
How the second method works in Signal bot and Terminal?
Signal Bot and Terminal allow you to specify the leverage you wish to apply to a position. However, it’s important to note that the leverage function operates as a position size multiplier rather than adjusting leverage in the conventional sense. For instance, if your available margin for a pair with leverage is $1,000, and you attempt to open a position valued at $1,200, the system will return an error message. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that sufficient margin is available before placing an order.
