Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate position size for DOT?
Enter your account balance, risk percentage (recommended 1-2%), entry price, and stop loss. The calculator determines the optimal Polkadot position size that limits your loss to your specified risk amount if stop loss is hit.
What is a good Risk/Reward ratio for DOT trades?
A minimum R/R of 1:2 is recommended for Polkadot trading. This means your potential profit should be at least twice your potential loss. Higher R/R ratios (1:3 or better) are preferred for swing trades.
How does leverage work with DOT futures?
Leverage allows you to control a larger Polkadot position with less capital. For example, 10x leverage means $100 controls $1,000 worth of DOT. Higher leverage increases both profit potential and liquidation risk.
What is the maximum leverage for DOT?
Maximum leverage varies by exchange. Bybit and Binance offer up to 125x for DOTUSDT perpetual contracts, but we recommend using 5-25x for sustainable trading.
How accurate is the DOT liquidation price calculation?
Our calculator provides an estimate based on standard maintenance margin rates (0.5%). Actual Polkadot liquidation prices may vary slightly by exchange and your position size tier. Always verify with your trading platform.
