leverage over one minute to five minutes
The modal survivable rung is 500x over one minute and 200x over five minutes, one rung apart, against a median 95th-percentile excursion of 0.17% and 0.42%.
Figures rebuilt 2026-08-27 by the MarketMoves editorial desk. Every number on this page is derived from the sources named in the methodology.
At the shortest horizon this dataset can measure, 21 of 46 markets supported 500x and 24 of 46 supported 200x once the hold stretched to five minutes. The median market's adverse excursion over one minute was 0.04 per cent at the median and 0.17 per cent at the 95th percentile, across 900 windows; over five minutes the same two figures were 0.10 per cent and 0.42 per cent across 896 windows. Five times the holding time therefore multiplied the threshold that sets the rung by 2.51.
Distance to liquidation on the flat-fee venue is one part in the multiplier, so 500x leaves 0.20 per cent of room and 1000x leaves 0.10 per cent. The rung that survives a minute is the one whose room still clears the 95th-percentile excursion of that minute, which is why the top of the table is populated by markets whose one-minute bars barely move and the bottom by markets whose bars move several tenths of a per cent.
what a one-minute hold is, by the venue's own standards
The venue's chart runs from one second to one week, which places a one-minute hold at the long end of its shortest intervals rather than at the short end of the range: observed in the live product, registry 2026-08-27a. A trader working the one-second and two-second intervals is holding for a fraction of the shortest window measured here, and this site cannot price that. The finest bar the data vendor supplies is the 1min bar, so the shortest window available for a rolling excursion measurement is one minute and every figure on this page inherits that floor.
Bars come from Twelve Data.
The consequence of that floor is arithmetic rather than editorial. A rung computed at one minute is an upper bound on what a sub-minute hold would support only in the sense that a shorter hold cannot exceed a longer one's excursion; it is not a measurement of the sub-minute case, and the shape of the first 4.40-to-one gap between median and 95th-percentile excursion at one minute gives no reliable way to extrapolate downward. The gap that matters at these horizons is between the 95th percentile and the 99th: 0.17% against 0.33% for the median market at one minute, which is one window in 100 rather than one in 20.

S&P 500 ETF led the table at 1000x, with 0.10 per cent of room against a 95th-percentile one-minute excursion of 0.03 per cent across 900 windows, a cover ratio of 2.94 times. That is the top of the published ladder, so no higher rung existed to test and 0.10 per cent is the least room the venue sells. Ties within the table are broken by excursion, so the market listed first at a given rung is the one with the most room to spare.

Strategy (MicroStrategy) sat at the other end with 200x, a 95th-percentile one-minute excursion of 0.37 per cent and 0.50 per cent of room, across 900 windows. The spread between the two ends of the same holding period is 1000x against 200x, which is 5 times the multiplier for the same one minute of exposure, and it is the reason a single house rung for scalping is not a defensible setting.
Opening cost does not discriminate between those two rows on a flat-fee venue: a $100 wager costs $1.00 to open at 1000x and $1.00 at 200x, since the fee is charged on the wager rather than on exposure. Neither rung exists on the notional-fee venue, whose published ceiling is 40x, and at that ceiling a $100 margin opens for $1.73 against $1.00 on the flat-fee venue, because the fee is charged on exposure: fee schedule.
Both tables are ladder arithmetic against one-minute bars: Moon names asset classes and not tickers, so a rung here asserts nothing about the market being listed. 0 of 50 tracked markets are confirmed at instrument level and 50 are unverified. Minute bars from Twelve Data.
Costs on this page are taker costs on a $100 wager. A hold of minutes ends long before the flat-fee venue's 8-hour rolling fee falls due, so the unpublished rate does not bite at this horizon; hourly funding on the other venue is capped at 4.00% per hour: funding documentation.
Full tables at longer horizons: one hour to one session, one week. The procedure that turns a rung into an order sits on how to choose. Stamp 2026-08-27 07:56 UTC UTC, 46 markets with a one minute rung and 46 with a five minutes rung.
