Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQ) leverage simulator

20x survived every one of the last 30 sessions on QQQ. Nothing above it did. Set a wager and a multiplier up to 1000x on Nasdaq 100 ETF below.

Verdict

At 100x, a 1.0% move against you ends the position. QQQ moved that far on 24 of the last 90 sessions.

Warning

20x is the ceiling, and it is not a safe one. Every step up shrinks the move that closes you out: 1.0% at 100x, 0.2% at 500x.

Why it moved

QQQ put in a 0.09 per cent fall inside its 1.24 per cent normal day, quiet enough that no source search was run.

What QQQ did to leverage in 6.5 hours

Nasdaq 100 ETF drifted down 0.59 per cent in 6.5 hours, $708.76 to $704.59. Your $100 on the QQQ short is $100.18 at 2x and $157.83 at 100x. 4 of 18 QQQ multipliers did not finish the 6.5 hours, the last of them 200x long after 79 minutes. The best QQQ survivors were 100x long and 500x short. You paid 1 per cent of your stake for the 100x QQQ round trip and 0.01 per cent of price returns it, some 0.9 per cent of a normal session.

Where Nasdaq 100 ETF has been trading

QQQ marks $704.59 after down 0.64 per cent on the session and down 1.92 per cent over five. Over three months QQQ is down 0.46 per cent. That is 2 QQQ closes in a row lower. Thirty sessions of QQQ ran $661.14 to $734.58, leaving you 4.08 per cent off the top of it and 6.57 per cent off the bottom.

How far QQQ moves in a session

Thirty sessions of QQQ annualise to 21.4 per cent and ninety to 23.7 per cent, which puts what you are sizing at tame. An ordinary QQQ day swings 1.35 per cent either side of flat, and at its worst QQQ fell 5.06 per cent below an open in the last 90 sessions.

The multiplier QQQ actually survives

20x is the highest QQQ multiplier that walked away from all 30 of the last sessions, and it closes you out on a 5 per cent move. Stretch the QQQ window to 90 sessions and it drops to 10x. Drop to one-minute QQQ bars and 2.0 per cent of them cover the whole 1000x liquidation distance, on a median bar of 0.0163 per cent.

Max loss distance is one part in the leverage, because Moon closes a wager once it has lost the wager and documents no maintenance buffer. 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 reached its max loss price intraday. Cost is Moon's 1% opening fee, charged on the wager and not on the exposure, so it does not change from one multiplier to the next. A rolling fee applies every 8 hours at a rate Moon does not publish and is not included.

What QQQ costs you to open

You pay 1 per cent of your wager to open QQQ and nothing on your exposure, so $100 down costs $1 at 2x and $1 at 1000x. What changes is your room, and an average QQQ session covers the 100x liquidation distance 1.1 times over. Hold QQQ past 8 hours and a rolling fee starts at a rate Moon does not publish, so treat every figure here as an 8 hour floor.

QQQ leverage questions

What multiplier is realistic on QQQ?

20x, the highest QQQ multiplier that avoided liquidation on every one of the last 30 sessions. A 5 per cent move against you closes the QQQ wager.

What does opening a wager on QQQ cost you?

1 per cent of your QQQ wager, the same at 2x as at 1000x. Hold QQQ past 8 hours and a rolling fee is added at a rate Moon does not publish.

Does 1000x make sense on QQQ?

Your max loss price sits 0.10 per cent from entry, which QQQ covered on 80 of the last 90 sessions. The length of your QQQ hold settles it rather than the 1 per cent fee.

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.

Every multiplier above is measured on QQQ's own last 30 sessions rather than on a market average, so it tells you how leverage behaves on QQQ and nothing else. Price your own QQQ size on Moon against those 30 sessions before you commit to it.

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 platform. 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.
