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 ZEC over the last 6.7 hours: what it gained and what it lost
Zcash covered +2.77% in 6.7 hours, which is where the ladder thins out. $100 on the long is $104.55 at 2x and $376.52 at 100x, +276.5% against +4.6%. The 50x short died after 3.5 hours. 5 of 14 rungs did not finish the window. Last to go was 20x short, after 4.5 hours. Top survivors: 100x long, 10x short. Then the bill. 1% of the stake to get in and out at 100x, repaid only after 0.01%, which is 0% of an average session here.
Leveraged trading of Zcash (ZEC): what has been happening
-1.94% on the session leaves ZEC at $800.290, -0.23% over five. ZEC is +56.23% on the month, so it arrives clearly higher. Three months reads +91.99%, year to date +52.13%. The 30-session range is $451.750 to $876.350, which puts the last price -8.68% off the high and +77.15% off the low.
How volatile is ZEC right now
Thirty sessions of realised volatility annualise to 115.8% and ninety to 131.7%, which puts ZEC at not a market you lever. Average true range across 14 sessions is 9.57% of price, and an ordinary day swings about 6.06% either side of flat. Down 9.53% from an open at worst over 30 sessions, 45.56% over 90. Leverage has to survive the second number, not the first.
What leverage ZEC actually survives
ZEC left 10x standing through all 30 sessions and nothing above it. That rung tolerates 10.000% against you, and the worst session took 9.53%. Open the window to 90 sessions and it falls to 2x. ZEC has gone 1.000% against an open-price long, which is where 100x ends, on 70 of the last 90 sessions. That is 78% of them. 84 of the last 90 sessions cleared the 0.1000% that ends a 1000x position. Per minute rather than per session: median bar 0.1096%, and 53.3% of them would close 1000x without any help from the rest of the day.
ZEC liquidation distance and hit rate by leverage
| Leverage | Liquidation distance | Sessions it was hit | Hit rate | Round-trip cost vs stake |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2x | 50.0000% | 0 / 90 | 0% | 1.0% |
| 5x | 20.0000% | 2 / 90 | 2% | 1.0% |
| 10x | 10.0000% | 3 / 90 | 3% | 1.0% |
| 20x | 5.0000% | 29 / 90 | 32% | 1.0% |
| 50x | 2.0000% | 58 / 90 | 64% | 1.0% |
| 100x | 1.0000% | 70 / 90 | 78% | 1.0% |
| 200x | 0.5000% | 80 / 90 | 89% | 1.0% |
| 500x | 0.2000% | 83 / 90 | 92% | 1.0% |
| 1000x | 0.1000% | 84 / 90 | 93% | 1.0% |
Max loss distance is one part in the leverage, because Moon closes a wager once it has lost the wager and documents no maintenance buffer. 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 reached its max loss price intraday. Cost is Moon's 1% opening fee, charged on the wager and not on the exposure, so it does not change down the ladder. A rolling fee applies every 8 hours at a rate Moon does not publish and is not included.
What a leveraged ZEC position costs
Opening costs 1% of the wager and not 1% of the exposure, so $100 down is $1 to open at 2x and $1 to open at 1000x. Because fee and stop both scale with the wager, opening always spends 1% of the distance to the max loss price, at 2x and at 1000x alike. A 100x wager on ZEC ends on a 1.00% move, and ZEC covers 1.00% 9.6 times over in an average session. Costs beyond the 1% exist: a rolling fee at 8 hour intervals, rate unpublished, plus a settlement spread that third party testers report and Moon does not document. Push to 1000x and 0.100% ends it. The fee is still 1%, which was never the part that hurt.
ZEC leverage questions
What leverage is realistic on ZEC?
On the last 30 sessions of data the highest rung that avoided liquidation on every session was 10x, which liquidates on a 10.000% adverse move.
How far can ZEC fall before a 100x long is liquidated?
1.000%. Moon closes the wager once it has lost the stake, and at 100x that is a one percent move, with no maintenance buffer ahead of it. ZEC moved at least that far against an open-price long on 70 of the last 90 sessions.
What does it cost to open a wager on ZEC?
1% of the wager. Moon charges the opening fee on the capital you commit and not on the leveraged exposure, so the figure does not change as the multiplier does. A position held past 8 hours also pays a rolling fee, at a rate Moon describes as dynamic and does not publish, so it is not modelled here.
How volatile is ZEC right now?
30-session realised volatility annualises to 115.8% and 14-session average true range is 9.57% of price.
Does 1000x leverage make sense on ZEC?
The fee does not settle it. Opening costs 1% of the wager at 1000x exactly as it does at 2x, so cost is not the objection. The stop is. Max loss sits 0.1000% from entry, which ZEC can cover inside a single minute bar, and it did so on 84 of the last 90 sessions against an open-price long. Losses stop at the wager, so the question is not whether you can afford the fee. It is how long you expect to last.
What has Zcash done recently?
-1.94% on the last session, -0.23% over five sessions, +56.23% over a month and +52.13% year to date, inside a 30-session range of $451.750 to $876.350.
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 ZEC, then check the live figures on Moon before committing anything.
We have not verified that Moon lists ZEC, so there is no link here. When someone checks, this becomes one. Moon does list cryptocurrency at up to 1000x. What it costs and where it falls short.
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.
