What $100 would have done, by leverage

| Leverage | Held to now | Return | Worst point | Cost of the round trip | Outcome |
|---|
Every minute in the window is walked in order and the worst price inside each bar is tested against the liquidation level before the close, so a position that was liquidated mid-window stays liquidated even if the price later recovered. Opened on the ask and marked on the bid for a long, and the reverse for a short. Indicative example based on third-party market data. Moon's reference price, spread, fees, settlement and liquidation rules may produce a different result.

Leveraged LTC over the last 9.5 hours: what it gained and what it lost
Litecoin put in -1.00% over 9.5 hours without much ceremony. $100 on the short is $101.68 at 2x and $184.16 at 100x, +84.2% against +1.7%. 50x long never had a chance: gone after 3.1 hours. 4 of 14 rungs did not finish the window. Top survivors: 20x long, 100x short. LTC owes you 0.16% before a 100x position is back to even, because the round trip already took 16% of the stake. On this market that is roughly 4% of a normal day's range.
Leveraged trading of Litecoin (LTC): what has been happening
$50.430 on the tape, +0.96% for the session and -5.15% across five. LTC is +12.44% on the month, so it arrives clearly higher. Three months reads +19.59%, year to date -36.94%. The 30-session range is $43.390 to $55.450, which puts the last price -9.05% off the high and +16.22% off the low.
How volatile is LTC right now
Thirty sessions of realised volatility annualise to 52.6% and ninety to 47.0%, which puts LTC at a real tape. Average true range across 14 sessions is 4.41% of price, and an ordinary day swings about 2.75% either side of flat. 5.36% is the worst it has been down from an open in 30 sessions, 8.84% in 90. Pick a multiplier that survives the bad one, not the average one.
What leverage LTC actually survives
The ladder tops out at 10x if the requirement is surviving all 30 of the last sessions. 10x dies on 9.950%; LTC got to 5.36% at its worst. LTC has gone 0.950% against an open-price long, which is where 100x ends, on 56 of the last 90 sessions. That is 62% of them. 88 of the last 90 sessions cleared the 0.0500% that ends a 1000x position. Zoom into one-minute bars and 51.4% of them are individually wide enough to close a 1000x position, on a median bar of 0.0569%.
LTC liquidation distance and hit rate by leverage
| Leverage | Liquidation distance | Sessions it was hit | Hit rate | Round-trip cost vs stake |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2x | 49.9500% | 0 / 90 | 0% | 0.3% |
| 5x | 19.9500% | 0 / 90 | 0% | 0.8% |
| 10x | 9.9500% | 0 / 90 | 0% | 1.6% |
| 20x | 4.9500% | 7 / 90 | 8% | 3.2% |
| 50x | 1.9500% | 30 / 90 | 33% | 8.0% |
| 100x | 0.9500% | 56 / 90 | 62% | 16.0% |
| 200x | 0.4500% | 70 / 90 | 78% | 32.0% |
| 500x | 0.1500% | 85 / 90 | 94% | 80.0% |
| 1000x | 0.0500% | 88 / 90 | 98% | 160.0% |
Liquidation distance assumes a 5 basis point maintenance margin: an adverse move of (1 − leverage × maintenance rate) ÷ leverage. Hit count is the number of the last 90 sessions where the low fell that far below the session open, i.e. where a long opened at the open would have been liquidated intraday. Cost assumes 16 basis points of spread and fees on the round trip.
What a leveraged LTC position costs
Fees come off exposure, not off what you put up, which is where the damage hides. At 16 basis points round trip, 10x costs 1.6% of the stake to open and close and 100x costs 16%. The round trip at 100x is 4% of what LTC typically covers in a session. That is the hole you open in. Past about 625x no price path returns the stake, because the bill is larger than the stake.
LTC leverage questions
What leverage is realistic on LTC?
On the last 30 sessions of data the highest rung that avoided liquidation on every session was 10x, which liquidates on a 9.950% adverse move.
How far can LTC fall before a 100x long is liquidated?
0.950% at a 5 basis point maintenance margin. LTC moved at least that far against an open-price long on 56 of the last 90 sessions.
How volatile is LTC right now?
30-session realised volatility annualises to 52.6% and 14-session average true range is 4.41% of price.
Does 1000x leverage make sense on LTC?
No, and the fee schedule settles it before volatility gets a say. At 16 basis points round trip, 1000x costs 160% of the stake in spread and fees alone, so the position opens behind by more than the stake. Liquidation sits 0.0500% away, which LTC can cover in a single minute bar.
What has Litecoin done recently?
+0.96% on the last session, -5.15% over five sessions, +12.44% over a month and -36.94% year to date, inside a 30-session range of $43.390 to $55.450.
Before you take this to Moon
Everything above is derived from independent third-party market data. Moon prices its own book: the reference price, the spread it quotes, its fee schedule, its funding rate and its liquidation engine are all Moon's, and they will produce a different number from this page. Use this as a model of the mechanics on LTC, then check the live figures on Moon before committing anything.
We have not verified that Moon lists LTC, so there is no link here. When someone checks, this becomes one.
What this simulator is
Prices come from Twelve Data, an independent market-data vendor, and are indicative. Moon's own reference price, spread, fee schedule, funding and liquidation rules will produce a different result. No money is staked here, no order is routed, and no position exists on any venue. At 1000× leverage a 0.01% difference between this chart and Moon's settlement feed moves the position value by roughly 10% of the stake, so treat every number below as an illustration of mechanics rather than a forecast of outcome.
Leverage arithmetic used
Exposure = stake × leverage. Long P/L = exposure × (mark − entry) ÷ entry. Short P/L = exposure × (entry − mark) ÷ entry. Entry takes the ask for a long and the bid for a short; closing does the reverse, so the spread is charged on the round trip. Liquidation triggers when equity falls to the maintenance margin, i.e. at an adverse move of (1 − leverage × maintenance rate) ÷ leverage.
Jurisdiction
Leverage caps, incentive bans and product classification differ by country. Retail CFD rules in the EU cap equity leverage far below the levels shown in this demo and restrict monetary incentives such as rakeback, so the referral block and the maximum selectable leverage must be gated per market before any page goes live. 18+. Trading leveraged products carries a high risk of losing your capital.
