BTC, the Nasdaq 100 (XYZ100) and the S&P 500 now trade at 10x, the highest leverage Breakout has ever offered. SOL moves to 5x, HYPE to 3x, and three of the five markets also get a bigger position cap.
Until today, 5x was the most leverage available on any market on Breakout. That’s officially over.
As of today, BTC, XYZ100 and the S&P500 all trade at 10x, and the S&P500 max position size has doubled.
SOL moves to 5x and HYPE to 3x, and both of these assets got boosts to their maximum position size, too.
Traders, we’ve heard you loud and clear: in Discord, in support tickets, and under pretty much everything we post.
Doubling the leverage on our largest markets was never going to be a quick or easy yes. It took a full review of realized volatility and order book depth, market by market, before we were comfortable.
Today, it’s live.
The new numbers
- BTC: 10x leverage, up from 5x. Maximum position size stays at $1,000,000.
- XYZ100 (the Nasdaq 100): 10x leverage, up from 5x. Maximum position size stays at $1,000,000.
- S&P500: 10x leverage, up from 5x. Maximum position size up from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000, the largest on Breakout.
- SOL: 5x leverage, up from 2x. Maximum position size up from $200,000 to $500,000.
- HYPE: 3x leverage, up from 2x. Maximum position size up from $150,000 to $200,000.
There’s no delay: both leverage and cap changes are already reflected in the Breakout Terminal. S&P500 and XYZ100 are only available on the Breakout Terminal (not DXtrade).
What 10x leverage changes on Breakout
Two things: how much of your account a position ties up, and how far the ceiling sits from reach.
At 5x, a $100,000 BTC position tied up $20,000 of account capital. At 10x the same position takes $10,000.
The ceiling is the bigger shift. Reaching the full $1,000,000 cap on BTC used to need $200,000 of capital behind it, which put it beyond every account except the very largest. At 10x it needs $100,000, and XYZ100 works the same way.
The S&P500 moved on both counts at once: 10x leverage and a $2,000,000 cap, now the largest position size on Breakout. SOL is the biggest jump in the set even though the headline number is smaller, with leverage and cap both up two and a half times.
What that opens up
The obvious part is size on a single trade. The more interesting part is what you can hold at the same time.
Capital that used to sit under one index position now covers two. An S&P500 swing and a BTC trade can run side by side in the same account instead of competing for room, and neither has to be the small one. If you have been trading a view across several markets at once, this is the release valve.
SOL is the clearest example of that: at 2x with a $200,000 cap, it was always the junior position next to BTC, no matter how strong your read was. At 5x and $500,000, you’ve got a lot more room to run.
Of course, you’ll want to stay level-headed: your daily loss limit and max drawdown didn’t move with these changes. Size that was out of reach yesterday can spend a full day’s allowance on a small move today, so size to your limits, not (necessarily) to the cap.
What stays the same
- Leverage is still auto-applied per market, whether the max is 2x or 10x. There’s no leverage setting anywhere in the Terminal.
- Changes apply to both evaluation and funded accounts: you trade under the same limits once you’re funded.
- Daily loss limits, max drawdown, on-demand payouts, 24/7: the core of Breakout is exactly as it was before.
If you want the mechanics of how those limits are calculated before you size up, the guide to equity limits covers it.
More markets are coming shortly
While these five markets get the spotlight today, we’re working through the leverage and position limits across virtually all of the markets on Breakout in the days to come.
To be blunt: these are settings, not fixtures. Leverage and position caps are set against how markets actually trade, their volatility, and the depth on the book, and we review them ongoing as conditions change.
Where a market sits today reflects where it trades today.

Common questions
Which markets trade at 10x?
BTC, XYZ100 (the Nasdaq 100) and the S&P500, as of August 12, 2026. 10x is the highest leverage available on Breakout, and those three are the only markets at that tier today.
What are the new maximum position sizes?
S&P500 jumps to $2,000,000 (up from $1,000,000), SOL gets a boost to $500,000 (up from $200,000), and HYPE is now $200,000 (up from $150,000). The other assets remain unchanged. Confirm live numbers on the full symbol list.
Do I need to do anything to get the new limits?
No. The leverage and the cap both update on their own, on evaluation and funded accounts.
Did my daily loss limit or drawdown change?
No. Your daily loss limit and max drawdown are untouched, which is what makes sizing the bigger decision at 10x.
Is there a setting to trade at lower leverage?
No. Leverage is auto-applied per market on Breakout and always has been. If you want less exposure, take a smaller position.
Are other markets getting more leverage?
We are reviewing leverage and position limits across the rest of the book and rolling changes out over the coming days and weeks. We will post each market’s numbers once they are applied.
Are these limits fixed from now on?
No. Leverage and position caps track how each market is trading, and we review them periodically as volatility and liquidity move, so the numbers can move again. The full symbol list carries the current figures for every market.
Whatever you were sizing around at 5x, that constraint just moved. If you are new here, start with how funded trading works, then buy an evaluation when you are ready.
