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 HOOD over the last 6.5 hours: what it gained and what it lost
Robinhood Markets did +8.57% in 6.5 hours and took most of the ladder with it. $100 on the long is $116.82 at 2x and $941.05 at 100x, +841.0% against +16.8%. The other way round, 50x short was stopped out after 3 minutes. 5 of 14 rungs did not finish the window. Last to go was 20x short, after 41 minutes. Top survivors: 100x long, 10x short. The fee took no view on any of it: 16% of the stake to get in and out at 100x, so HOOD has to hand back 0.16% before you are level, about 3% of an average session's range here.
Leveraged trading of Robinhood Markets (HOOD): what has been happening
$112.07 on the tape, +8.12% for the session and +22.40% across five. HOOD is +17.17% on the month, so it arrives clearly higher. Three months reads +51.26%, year to date -2.73%. The 30-session range is $83.68 to $116.60, which puts the last price -3.89% off the high and +33.93% off the low.
How volatile is HOOD right now
Realised volatility over 30 sessions annualises to 73.6%, against 72.6% over 90. By leveraged standards that is a proper mover. Average true range across 14 sessions is 5.98% of price, and an ordinary day swings about 4.63% either side of flat. Worst hole below an open: 7.58% over 30 sessions, 8.69% over 90. Size to the second one.
What leverage HOOD actually survives
The ladder tops out at 10x if the requirement is surviving all 30 of the last sessions. 10x dies on 9.950%; HOOD got to 7.58% at its worst. HOOD has gone 0.950% against an open-price long, which is where 100x ends, on 66 of the last 90 sessions. That is 73% of them. For 1000x the requirement is 0.0500%, met on 87 of 90 sessions. A median one-minute bar on HOOD is 0.0703% wide, and 62.2% of bars are wide enough on their own to finish 1000x.
HOOD 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% | 12 / 90 | 13% | 3.2% |
| 50x | 1.9500% | 49 / 90 | 54% | 8.0% |
| 100x | 0.9500% | 66 / 90 | 73% | 16.0% |
| 200x | 0.4500% | 78 / 90 | 87% | 32.0% |
| 500x | 0.1500% | 84 / 90 | 93% | 80.0% |
| 1000x | 0.0500% | 87 / 90 | 97% | 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 HOOD 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%. Put another way: the 100x round trip eats 3% of what HOOD covers in a normal session, and you start behind by that much. Somewhere near 625x the fee exceeds the stake, and the position is settled before HOOD does anything at all.
HOOD leverage questions
What leverage is realistic on HOOD?
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 HOOD fall before a 100x long is liquidated?
0.950% at a 5 basis point maintenance margin. HOOD moved at least that far against an open-price long on 66 of the last 90 sessions.
How volatile is HOOD right now?
30-session realised volatility annualises to 73.6% and 14-session average true range is 5.98% of price.
Does 1000x leverage make sense on HOOD?
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 HOOD can cover in a single minute bar.
What has Robinhood Markets done recently?
+8.12% on the last session, +22.40% over five sessions, +17.17% over a month and -2.73% year to date, inside a 30-session range of $83.68 to $116.60.
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 HOOD, then check the live figures on Moon before committing anything.
We have not verified that Moon lists HOOD, 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.
