## Summary

This video explains how leverage works in the cryptocurrency futures market, allowing traders to multiply their capital and potentially earn significant profits from small price movements. The presenter demonstrates leverage settings, margin, position size, and ROI, while emphasizing the associated risks.

### Key Points

- **Leverage Allows Multiplying Capital** [00:02] — With leverage, you can turn R$100 into R$1,000 or more in a single trade, even with small capital, by borrowing from the broker.
- **Definition of Leverage** [01:46] — Leverage is a broker function that multiplies your capital to enter a trade with more money than you actually have in your account.
- **Futures Market Uses USD** [02:15] — Operations in the futures market are conducted in dollars (or stablecoins like USDT), not in local currency. You deposit reais and convert to dollars.
- **Traditional vs. Leveraged Returns** [03:24] — In the traditional market, a 10% gain on $100 yields $10 profit. With 10x leverage, the same 10% gain on $100 yields $100 profit because you control $1,000.
- **Risk of Liquidation** [06:57] — If the market moves against you by 10% with 10x leverage, you lose 10% of $1,000 ($100), which is your entire capital. The position is liquidated automatically.
- **Practical Demonstration** [07:39] — The presenter shows a chart with leverage settings (up to 50x), margin entry, and position size. He enters a short trade with $20 and 10x leverage.
- **ROI Explained** [14:34] — ROI (Return on Investment) shows the percentage return relative to the margin (equity) you put into the trade, not the total position size.
- **Liquidation Price and Leverage Table** [18:47] — Higher leverage shortens the distance to liquidation. A table shows that with 125x leverage, a 0.5% move doubles or liquidates your capital; with 5x, a 20% move is needed.
- **Recommended Leverage for Beginners** [21:17] — Beginners should use 5-10x leverage maximum. New accounts are limited to 20x. Experienced traders can use 10-20x. Higher leverage (50x+) is very risky.

### Conclusion

Leverage in the futures market can multiply gains but also amplifies losses, leading to rapid liquidation. Beginners should start with low leverage (5-10x) and focus on learning technical analysis to improve their odds.

R$1000 with just two clicks, that with a single operation, even with R$ 100 you can make R$ 200, R$300, or even a thousand reais in a simple operation, even if you have little capital. All this is possible
within the cryptocurrency futures market, which allows us to use leverage. My name is Henrique, and in this video I'm going to explain everything about leverage within the Krypton futures market. If
strongly recommend you watch this video where I explain everything about the futures market step-by-step, how it works. In this video, I'll focus much more on explaining how leverage works in this market, allowing
us to multiply our capital. It has this leverage function, and here I'll show you everything about how this function works, why you need to know it before beginners, even if you don't yet have an account in the market. You
can click the link in the description and open your account for free using the channel link; you get discounts on your stash, which makes a big difference. because trading in the futures market has some fees, and if you're trading with
little capital, this can slightly affect your earnings. So, using the link in the fees. If you don't understand anything about futures markets, like I said, there's a video here where I explain everything. But if you already know what leverage is, are trying to
how it works, you're in the right video. Now, enough rambling, let's get to the content I'm going to show you in theory and practice. My computer screen is where I work, so, my workspace has a lot of
where I work, so, my workspace has a lot of reach. feet. But let's go, what is this thing called
leverage? Leverage is the function of the brokerage that allows you to multiply your capital to enter a trade with more capital than you have. So, it's you money to enter with more money than you actually have in
your account. How so, Henrique? Calm down, I'll show you in theory and computer. Let's compare this here with the traditional cryptocurrency market.  I'm not even because the variation in the stock market, my dear friends... Let's go, let's go, let's go... how to
traditional cryptocurrency market... a very important observation that you may not know if you are beginners in operations within the futures market: they are done in dollars, actually in various currencies. In Esteio, Henrique
we have? Buttons, Estevão, who is it? It's like the currency we use, the money we use in Krypton format. So the stablecoin we're stablecoin pegged to the dollar, but Henrique, I have to have dollars, I'm not going
to Pinhal, and within the brokerage you can buy and trade. Volcanoes... futures market operations are done in parity with SBT. There's STP, which is the dollar we use here in the market, or one of the dollars we use that
you can deposit in reais and then convert. I'll show you here, look, you see here, I have 57. If you convert this to reais, it would give a total of...  Equivalent to 57 dollars at the current exchange rate, we, Estevão, have options that
are varied, controlling and monitoring the dollar. $1 = 1st, which will always be the case, at least that's what they try to do. God deceives, anyway, that's a topic for another traditional market. So I'll give examples here, talking in dollars,
because you say real, we don't use real, we use the dollar. So let's go, imagine you bought a Cryptocurrency, you bought $100 of that Cryptocurrency and it went up 10 percent, what will happen? You will earn 10 percent
in relation to the value you bought it for. You bought $100, what is the appreciation of 10 percent? How much is 10 percent of $100? It's another $10, the Cryptocurrency appreciated 10 percent, you earned a profit of 10 dollars. What I'm
going to tell you is that $10 will change your life. Of course, if you have much more lot of money, a considerable amount, but...  Futures market, to leverage capital, because most people have little capital, the
make a lot of money with a little money. At the end of this video, I'm going to show you the biggest futures market. You'll see that with very little money, I had a crazy, even think I'm lying, but I'm going to show you that by the end
buy a currency and it goes up 10 percent in 10 hours, it will change a lot in your life. Getting 10 percent in the market is what happens a 10 percent increase. That's in the market, and I want to because it's
good returns, imagine every day you get it right, but I guarantee every day I have this 10 percent, twenty, thirty, fifty, thousand percent increase. That's reading, put exercises there. If I compare it to the B3, even one percent a day... I'm
not even... but anyway, let's get back to the focus of the video. So, the traditional market, you buy the currency.  And you earn proportionally to the value you invested in already in the futures market. How leverage works? As I
lend you that money so you have more money than you actually have in that operation. So, in the futures market, you can profit from the rise or fall of a currency. Going up or down, you can bet on
it gained. But that's the magic of leverage. So imagine you have $100 and within the brokerage you have the option to leverage, so you can leverage 10 times. This means you took your
the brokerage lends you that money so you have more money in the operation. Now imagine you entered the same operation with $100, but you leveraged 10 times, your capital became $1000. In other words, you will
be operating as if you had a thousand eyes, and how does this impact your results? Your position will be better, and your gains and losses will be more balanced. $10,000. So if the market goes up 10 percent, you earn 10
percent of $1,000, you're earning an extra $100 because 10 percent of a thousand is more than 10, which is all the round numbers here. It will be easy for you to you could have entered the same asset, but in the traditional market it went up 10
futures market, Henrique, I'm leveraged 10 times. If you're with 0.5 percent and it goes up 10 percent, now you're with 0.5 percent, you'll gain proportionally those thousand, you'll lose 're leveraging 10 times, you're with 0.5 percent and the currency goes up 100 percent. If it
common, but it happens every day in the market, right? Whenever we manage to catch 5 percent of the market, 10 percent of the day, but this is for educational purposes, to get this into your head. So imagine you're
afraid of the time to take the position.  It's more than 100 percent, you'll win 100 percent of the 1,100, that's crazy, no mercy, that's it, I ate it, yes, that's possible and you can do multiplied your capital by 10, that's what I 'm talking about leverage. Hey guys,
let's start going into other examples. If the market goes up 10 percent, you win which in this example you were leveraged with 100, a position of $1,000. And that's where the catch comes in, right? Here's where the risk comes in, right?
Because if it's just like that, right? Very good, Henrique, if I lose, I'll said, that you win and lose proportionally to $1,000. Remembering that you lose and win proportionally to your advanced position, so if you have a thousand in the
EA currency operation, you're betting on the currency's rise and it goes down 10%, you'll lose ten percent of the thousand if you had a thousand in the position, that's ten percent. Regarding 10 percent of $1100, Henrique, what happens at that moment? You are liquidated,
which means you're out of the market, you lose all the money in automatically closed. So that's market risk; risk goes hand in hand with more and lose proportionally more. I'll show you this in
practice now. Okay, I'm here on the MTL chart, tap the time here at 57, the leverage is here in the upper good account in the futures market while I work, click on this link to
discounts on fees by clicking here, adjust leverage. So this is how much I can multiply my capital in this currency. I can multiply up to 50 times. So imagine I have $50 there, 57. If I want, I
can do this, it doesn't mean I have to do $50 times, 50 times is the maximum limit in that currency. In other words, I can trade with $2500, I can trade as if I had $2500.  So the currency goes up 10 percent, it went up 10
percent, I earned $250, but I is something I don't recommend, this is high risk, the risk behind this is the same way I gain proportionally to 2,500 hours and lose
proportionally to 2,015 hours. Henrique, what percentage do I need to double my capital? Calm down, we'll get there. Each leverage will have a different percentage, which will double your capital and at the same
operation goes against your position. So let's open a practical example here just to show you this currency here, it's going up, let's put $20 here,
is to define the value you want to enter, that's why you want to enter, and here you can put the value in dollars, I want to enter with $20, you put $20, then define, that's why I'm going to enter, the market is like entering, that's what it is
you in the video, I'm here relating the percentage I want. This capital I have, I have 57, I'm going to choose $20 here. Henrique, how do down here in the course? This will be the value that will enter the operation, 20
points, 50. So if I press here, sell short, you want to do a short and red button, I'm saying that this coin from this point here, it will go up, and analyze the chart, you understand, what's happening to make the decision to
bet on the rise or the fall. So you can, whether I'm going up or down, it doesn't matter. money with that market because I said the market was going to fall, and the market fell. So I'm going to press here, sell short. I'm leveraged 10 times. I
entered with a short here, it reached about five, it seems to have come out here, it executed an operation. I'm at 19 points, $79. Why, Henrique, did you put 20? Because there are fees in the futures market that I didn't mention. If you pay with little...  Capital, you might
feel a little difficulty, beginner Henrique, because it's 19.79 here because of the fees, but I didn't mention using the channel link, the following percent discount, try thirty percent, I don't know, the bananas that released
the option. So I have 19 dollars, this value of margin, the value that entered the operation, this 10x here is the value of my leverage, so I took this value of 1979 and multiplied it by 10, and also this size here is the size
of my position, which is the size of the operation, the total that is leveraged, so operation, the total that is leveraged, so if I take 19.79 x 10 it gives 190, and there is a difference here due to the fees, you noticed that we managed to
multiply my capital, entering with a lot of capital in the operation even without having capital, using leverage from the broker, and basically that's leverage, Google, put the same there to make fun of us, broker, that Macbook, right?
And then I'll, so I know this screen might scare you, get a little...  It's strange, but these non-neighbors here, that's what you need to know in case you're interested. My order started to go down and I started to get positive here, see
10,220.  15 percent, so here you can close the position, the heart tightens here, with the closing you can either take a place in the asset betting that it will go up or it will go down, but that's it, without understanding technical analysis,
that if you have little capital, you can biggest ones, because if you're in the stock market, and I've invested a lot of money in the stock market too, even we who have more capital, with hundreds
of thousands of reais, the volatility is very low, so the stock market goes up, like two or three percent a day, one percent a day, three or five percent a month, with low volatility, even with a lot of capital you don't have big
profits, so sustaining a little capital in the stock market, man, You're not going to buy a Vale stock and you're going to stay, you understand, made specific profits, now Rick, okay, I understand, I have to know if I bet it will go up or down,
futures market, how do I understand this, how can I make the futures market, the good thing is that at this moment you are currently on the biggest futures market. I'm the only content creator on YouTube who focuses solely on
futures markets, and I think it's perhaps one of the biggest channels among the I also follow it, but it only talks about futures markets and probably has more control over this. So, on my own channel, there are several
videos explaining technical analysis, support, existence, buying zones, futures market strategies, so everything, like how the futures market works, you can find for free on this channel. And the only thing I ask of you—I don't know
I know it's been a while, but you're still with me, man—it costs nothing. Just press this little red button and press 'enlarge.' Do the following: I want to know if you're still watching the video, comment the word "Galilee." So, if you're watching the video, comment "Galilee."
I wanted to ask you to know if you were here. So, the first thing is to subscribe to the channel and learn from me for free work are the results of these people here. This is how many students I have.
free content? So my free content can already give you results. Secondly, there's a lot of good content about the futures market in the United States, but if you don't speak English, it's complicated. And the
learn is simply by buying courses and specializations on trading. It doesn't matter if you're trading futures, if you know what the rules are, if you know how to read a chart, you won't have so much difficulty learning this
technical analysis, it works in every market. A course requires a lot of studying, you with me, like my student, who wants to learn the path I took, I'm creating exclusive content that's totally focused on beginners. And when I
took everything I learned along the way and I thought, "If I were to start from scratch today, I would start with this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this." So this content isn't ready yet, but if you're interested,
you can click the link below, join the waiting list, and also find me on posting there, and probably the name of this...  The content will be from zero to first, helping you. You used the first results of the futures market here.
continue with the good content. Now, something very important that I want to explain to you: this here, this percentage here. Many people get confused with this. This is called ROI. Here, Losses and Gains, ROI. What
is this and how does it work? ROI means return on equity. We're speaking nicely, return on equity. This percentage that appears here is the return in relation to the equity you
put into the operation. So, look, the name is return on equity, it's about the return. That's terrible in Portuguese, people, correct me if I'm wrong, please, in a humble way, not without being rude, I'm called illiterate. So it's return on
capital, you can leave that there, return on capital, you can leave that mistake, Manoel, like you, which is normal. So the percentage that appears here is the return on equity you put into the operation. I'm going to show this in
a practical way with calculations and numbers. Look at this example of an operation here, you see? Here, margin is the value I entered.  I deposited $150.  30. Let's use our beloved calculator. 150.30. In this operation, I
'm leveraged 50 times. Yes, my friend, I'm leveraged 50 times. A beginner, wanting to quit, wanting to show off, I entered with 150 hours leveraged 50 times. This value of seventeen percent doesn't mean the
currency went up seventeen percent; it means I've already earned seventeen percent in relation to the value I entered here. So, if I take entered here. So, if I take 138.11, 17.9, 143,
150/150, 38x. What percentage? 38x. What percentage? 17.0, 9. This gives a total of 25.6. What's the value here in gains and losses? 25 to 70, meaning it almost closed the
difference on its own because of fees, guys. The value that appears here in ROI, the relation to equity. So, for example, if I had earned another 150 hours here...  Here in my ROI it would be showing 100%, which is what I played, without a percentage of the
I sent. That's why it shows the return on my operation. I think you understand, not many people get confused. So, in a simple way, 150.10 9 gave 25.7. Let's go, explaining the information about the
chart. White chart about this here, look, it explains here, here you can see some things. The first thing that appears is margin, which is the equity you put into the operation, it's how much you actually entered there, how much
of your money you put in. This here is the size of the position after leverage. So this here is leverage, leveraged 50 times, and this is the size of my position, that is, with leverage. I'm operating as if I
had 7,520, that's great, because if I take 150 at 8, let's go, 150.38 times 50, that's my leverage, see? times 50, that's my leverage, see? 7000 here, 7519  7.520 here, you see a
decimal point and percentage, so the position size is the leveraged size. If it went up, for example, -100%, then my money from the operation would become 7500 hours. And the more leveraged you are, the faster you make money, but this
why. So pay attention so you do n't get screwed here. My entry price here is the price you find for this asset here in Bitcoin. I entered when it was 58,100. It's an old price, I don't even know what the peak is today.
At this moment, I think the price is 30,000. I commented, "What's the peak price now?" Because at this moment it's 30,000 and I'm buying. I want to know if one be at 100,000? They say, "Oh, you'll be stuck with it." They bought at the bottom. So, what's the
you entered here. At the peak, it was 50,000. A very important reference price, because this reference price is the average of all the prices.  The brokers, like the one that sets the Bitcoin price across all exchanges, take
data from different exchanges, calculate an average, and the reference price will generally be This isn't even a big deal right now; only the stop-loss settlement price is important. The settlement price is crucial because the broker checks if the entry price
trade closes. If you lose all the money from the trade, then if you reach the settlement price, game over. You lose all your money from the trade, or worse, if you're in a
cross-market futures market (I talk about this in this video about the futures market), you lose haven't seen this video, watch it. Avoid the settlement price; the higher the leverage, the shorter the settlement price will be. When you're more
leveraged, the further away the settlement price becomes. Here's a separate settlement price table to guide you on how it works: the same leverage that doubles your percentage you need to be liquidated. If you were at 10
up, and you lose 10 percent of your capital. If it were to be liquidated, then the price would be as high as possible. leverage, the greater the profit with the less variation. In other words, with a lot of
capital, increase your capital quickly, or liquidate your capital. Risk goes hand in hand with return. Here, the higher the leverage, the shorter your liquidation price will be. So don't come here wanting to leverage
125 times because the market allows you to do that. So risk and return go table showing the most used leverages in the market that I use or have used, right? Today we're using a lot, and there are strategies
take a screenshot of this little table. Take a screenshot of this little table. If you enter Bitcoin, you can leverage, I'll even show you, you can leverage, I'll even show you, you can leverage 125 times. You
way. With us, you can take R$1,000 and turn it into R$125,000 with leverage. So you come here, choose leverage, you can leverage up to 125 times, of course.  There's a limit; you can't put in a million reais,
small limit here, I'll talk about that later. So, if you have leverage 125 times, for every 6 percent that Bitcoin goes up, you give your capital, and half a percent of that is what it should be. And in that corner, put that better.
all the leverage in reais. Henrique, for every one percent that the asset goes up, you double your capital. For every one percent, you earn 50 reais. So, 50 times 2 percent, 20 x 5 percent, 10 times
10 percent, and 5 times 20 percent. So, the lower the leverage, the less risky the operation becomes. And today, I'm not talking about beginner, is to put the hashtag #rest and not go anywhere. I'm not going to mess around with the
market, I'm not going to sell my Fiat Uno and put it in the don't try to play with the market.  You ca point, if you have leverage in times, oh.
Andthen, well, a tip that I give you as you're going to fall a lot.  Wrong. When you enter at the wrong point, the higher your leverage, the smaller your margin of error will be. So, if you're a beginner,
please don't leverage too much. Fortunately, if you have a new account, you only allow leverage up to 20 times as a safety measure. Yes, it takes time to get there and leverage up to 20 times. Don't forget, you create an account and can't leverage 10
times. Thank goodness you can't, right? I'm going to ask to protect you from beginner, I recommend leverage of 5 to 10 times maximum because this gives you a great image. "I made a mistake, okay, I wo n't lose much money."
market, 5 to 10 times maximum. If you have the knowledge of technical analysis that I have and my students have, 10 to 20 times maximum, which today is only Perry 10 to 20 times. I've played with 50 times. In fact, this week I managed to
have an absurd profit. My profit of my life was at 50 times, but very little money to do this. The recognition is 10 to 20 times at most, that's okay. Because 20 times leverage... I remembered the table is five
percent variation to slim down, damn, you can leave that to double get liquidated, which I remember we're in the market, but I'll go there, everything... and if you're the guy who wants to show off, wants to show off, let's go, leverage 50 times, the cow 125
times, wait, only half a percent of the market changes 100% in the day, so you want to show off the market, go ahead, leverage 50 times without seeing your friend, and the smoke awaits you. But anyway, this video got quite long, I hope I helped
you, and if you're still watching this video, my name is Henrique, I'll see you there.
