About Arbitrum Trading
Arbitrum is a leading Ethereum L2 with activity tied to the broader ETH ecosystem. Token unlocks and protocol updates are frequent catalysts, and price often follows ETH trends with extra beta.
ARB futures can be volatile around unlock dates. Check the calendar and adjust size accordingly. Keep risk fixed and avoid high leverage during fast market shifts. If ETH is weak, treat ARB as a higher risk version.
ARB is heavily influenced by ETH direction and token unlocks. Plan trades with a calendar and avoid trading during heavy unlock windows. If ETH is weak, keep ARB risk smaller.
ARB can have heavy supply pressure during unlock weeks. Use smaller size and avoid overnight holds during those periods. Scale out on strength and avoid letting profits turn into losses.
Risk Management Tips for ARB
- Track unlock schedules and governance updates.
- Treat ARB as higher beta than ETH.
- Avoid high leverage during unlock weeks.
- Keep risk fixed even in rallies.

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