Leverage
AFX offers adjustable leverage for all perpetual contracts. The maximum leverage available depends on the asset tier and your notional position size.
Leverage Settings
Leverage is set per trading pair.
In Hedge Mode, long and short positions on the same pair share the same leverage setting.
Leverage can be adjusted at any time, including when you have open positions or orders.
When adjusting leverage on an existing isolated position, additional margin may be transferred from your available balance, or excess margin may be released.

Maximum leverage decreases as your position size increases. The current leverage cap for each market is returned by live product metadata:

Leverage Adjustment Rules
No open positions or orders:
Simply select your desired leverage. The system shows the corresponding maximum position size.
With open positions or orders:
A risk notice is displayed when adjusting leverage.
Increasing leverage: The initial margin requirement decreases; excess margin is released back to your available balance (isolated) or remains in the shared pool (cross).
Decreasing leverage: Additional margin is required. If your available balance is insufficient, the adjustment will fail — you must either deposit more funds or reduce your position first.
If the selected leverage is too low for your current position, the system will prompt you to increase leverage or add margin.
