5 min readTrading conditions are the foundation of every successful strategy. With this in mind, PrimeXBT has introduced a series of updates to leverage, providing traders with greater flexibility to manage positions and reduce costs. These changes are already live on PXTrader, MT5, and Crypto Futures platforms.
What’s new?
Crypto leverage adjusted to provide more flexibility
Altcoin leverage on PXTrader has been updated to include more choices. Most altcoins now feature the following bands: 1:100 | 1:50 | 1:20 | 1:10. This gives traders more room to manage market volatility. Some less liquid coins have adjusted bands with lower maximums, ensuring responsible risk management.

Before trading, ensure you understand how leverage works, assess your personal risk tolerance, and only trade with funds you can afford to lose.
