How Does Leverage Work on 3Commas?

This article explains how our bots and tools interact with leverage provided by exchanges.

How it Works

See the list of exchanges in the table below.

Leverage can be adjusted during bot setup. A request to change leverage will be sent immediately to the exchange once you click “Apply”.

Exchanges nuances:

OKX (leverage updates separately for Cross and Isolated modes)

Bitget (leverage updates separately for Cross and Isolated modes; for Hedge mode combined with Isolated margin, leverage is applied to both Long and Short sides simultaneously)

Kucoin (leverage can only be set if Isolated margin mode is selected; leverage cannot be applied to Cross margin mode)

Important

Currently, you can only change leverage on up to 20 pairs at once.
For example, if your bot uses 10 pairs and 3 API profiles (10×3 = 30), it won’t work. But if you use 10 pairs and 2 APIs (10×2 = 20), it is allowed.
