Before you trade at those tiers

Every figure above was made or lost at leverage where the distance to liquidation is short, because at 1000x a 0.1% move against you ends the bet, before spread and fees. The leverage guide has the math for each tier.

The next recap is written just after 00:00 UTC. Previous day: 17 September. Next day: 19 September. Week 38 in full

Definitions
Stake
The amount of money a trader puts on a single bet, before fees.
Leverage
The multiplier applied to the stake; $100 at 100x behaves like a $10,000 position. Moon offers up to 1000x.
Notional (exposure)
Stake multiplied by leverage.
Long, short
A long is Moon's Up bet (profits if price rises); a short is a Down bet. We use long and short because that is how Moon's data labels them.
PnL
Profit and loss on a closed trade in US dollars, as Moon reports it, after Moon's fees.
Multiplier
The payout divided by the stake, including fees, for a closed trade. 1.00x is break-even.
Liquidation
Moon closing a bet because the loss reached the stake. At 1000x that is a move of about 0.1% against the position, before spread and fees.
Long share
Open long leveraged volume divided by open long plus short leveraged volume on an asset, as a percentage. 50% means balanced.
Hidden player
A trader who hides their name on Moon. Their trades count toward totals and never toward any trader page.
Observed
Seen by our feed. Moon's feed returns the last 10 public trades per request; we see most trades, not all, and we say how many we missed on each recap.
As of
The time, in UTC, when the figures on the page were last read from Moon's public feed and boards. Live pages refresh every 30 seconds while you watch; trader pages and recaps are rebuilt daily just after midnight UTC.
