All-In Calculator
Thinking about going all-in with leverage? This calculator shows the outcomes across different price scenarios. See your P&L, liquidation price, degeneracy level, and expected value. Spoiler: the math usually doesn't work in your favor.
Enter your account size, leverage, price move scenarios (comma-separated percentages), optional stop loss, entry price, and maintenance margin. See P&L for each scenario, liquidation price, degeneracy level, and expected value.

How It Works
Calculation Methodology
This tool calculates the outcomes of going all-in (using your entire account as margin) with different leverage levels. It shows P&L for each price scenario, liquidation price, degeneracy level, and expected value.
Key Insight: Going all-in with leverage amplifies both gains and losses. A 5% price move with 10x leverage = 50% account change. A 10% move = 100% (liquidation). The problem is that losses are asymmetric — one bad move wipes your account, while you need multiple good moves to profit significantly. Expected value is typically negative because liquidation risk outweighs potential gains. This is why professional traders never go all-in.

Position sizing guideExample Scenario
Setup: $10,000 account, 10x leverage, scenarios: -10%, -5%, 0%, 5%, 10%
What this means: Even with a positive expected value, one -10% move liquidates your entire account. The risk of total loss outweighs the potential gains. This is why all-in strategies are dangerous — you can't recover from liquidation.
Common Mistakes & Warnings
- ⚠Thinking you can't lose everything: With all-in positions, one bad move liquidates your entire account. There's no recovery from liquidation — you're done.
- ⚠Ignoring liquidation risk: Even with a 60% win rate, the 40% losses (which liquidate you) outweigh the wins. Expected value calculations don't account for the fact that you can't continue trading after liquidation.
- ⚠Not understanding leverage math: 10x leverage means a 10% price move = 100% account change. A 5% move = 50% change. Small price moves have massive account impact.
- ⚠Going all-in to recover losses: After a loss, going all-in to "make it back" is how accounts get wiped. One more loss and you're done. Never go all-in, especially after losses.
Example Scenarios
Try these realistic scenarios to understand all-in outcomes at different leverage levels.
Scenario 1: Moderate Leverage (10x)
"Conservative" all-in. Still extremely risky but shows how leverage amplifies outcomes.
What this means: Even at "moderate" 10x leverage, a -10% move liquidates your entire account. A +10% move doubles your account. This shows why all-in is dangerous — one bad move wipes you out.
Scenario 2: High Leverage (50x)
Extreme leverage. Very small price moves cause liquidation. Pure gambling.
What this means: At 50x leverage, a tiny -2% move liquidates you. Even normal market volatility (1-2%) can wipe you out. This is not trading — it's gambling. The risk of total loss is extremely high.
Scenario 3: All-In with Stop Loss (10x)
All-in with stop loss. Limits maximum loss but still extremely risky.
What this means: A 5% stop loss limits your maximum loss to 50% of account. This is better than liquidation, but still extremely risky. You're risking half your account on a single trade. This is not proper risk management.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I use this tool?
Use this tool when you're considering going all-in (using all your account as margin) with leverage. It shows the outcomes across different price scenarios and helps you understand the extreme risk you're taking. This is educational — going all-in is almost always a bad idea.
What does 'all-in' mean?
All-in means using your entire account balance as margin for a single leveraged position. For example, with a $10,000 account and 10x leverage, going all-in means using all $10,000 as margin to control a $100,000 position. This is extremely risky because any significant price move against you will liquidate your entire account.
How is P&L calculated for each scenario?
P&L = (priceMove% × leverage × accountSize). For example, with $10,000 account, 10x leverage, and 5% price move: P&L = 0.05 × 10 × $10,000 = $5,000 profit. If price moves -5%: P&L = -0.05 × 10 × $10,000 = -$5,000 loss. With all-in, losses can exceed your account (negative balance).
What is liquidation price?
Liquidation price is the price at which your position gets liquidated (closed automatically) because your margin is exhausted. For longs: liquidationPrice = entryPrice × (1 - (1/leverage - maintenanceMargin)). For shorts: liquidationPrice = entryPrice × (1 + (1/leverage - maintenanceMargin)). Higher leverage = liquidation price closer to entry.
What are the degeneracy levels?
Degeneracy levels rate how 'degen' your all-in strategy is: Conservative (2-5x leverage, stop loss), Moderate (5-10x leverage, optional stop), Degen (10-50x leverage, no stop), Ape (50x+ leverage, no stop, extreme risk). Higher degeneracy = higher potential gains but exponentially higher liquidation risk.
What is expected value?
Expected value is the average outcome across all scenarios, weighted by their probabilities. It accounts for both potential gains and losses. For all-in strategies, expected value is typically negative because liquidation risk is high. Even if you have a 60% win rate, the 40% losses (which liquidate you) outweigh the wins.
How does stop loss affect all-in positions?
Stop loss limits your maximum loss, but with all-in positions, a stop loss that's too tight can still liquidate you. For example, with 10x leverage, a 5% stop loss means you lose 50% of your account. With 50x leverage, a 1% stop loss liquidates you. Stop losses help but don't eliminate the extreme risk of all-in positions.
Can I actually profit from going all-in?
Mathematically possible but statistically unlikely. Even with a 60% win rate, you need multiple consecutive wins to profit significantly. One loss liquidates your account. The expected value is negative because liquidation risk outweighs potential gains. Professional traders never go all-in — they use proper position sizing (1-2% risk per trade).
What's the difference between this and YOLO Leverage Calculator?
YOLO Leverage Calculator shows leverage needed to hit 10x/100x targets and liquidation probability. All-In Calculator shows outcomes of going all-in with different leverage levels across price scenarios. One shows leverage requirements, one shows all-in outcomes. They're complementary — both show why extreme leverage is dangerous.
Should I use this for actual trading?
No — this tool is educational and shows why going all-in is almost always a terrible idea. Use it to understand the math and risks. For actual trading, use the Position Size Calculator to find proper position sizing (1-2% risk per trade). Going all-in is gambling, not trading.
