Performance Based Leverage

Mechanism

Performance based leverage refers to a dynamic capital structure where the available credit or borrowing capacity for a trader scales proportionally with realized trading success. Platforms implementing this model utilize real-time PnL data to adjust the margin requirements for an account, allowing sophisticated participants to increase their exposure as they demonstrate historical profitability. This approach effectively aligns the protocol’s risk appetite with the proven competency of the user, thereby mitigating the systemic danger of high-leverage positions held by speculative, inexperienced actors.
