Position sizing for MEXC traders

With 200ร— available on MEXC, it is tempting to use high leverage and take large positions. But position size should be determined by risk tolerance, not leverage. The risk-based sizing formula:

  • Max loss = accountBalance ร— riskPercent%
  • Stop distance = |entry โˆ’ stop| / entry
  • Position size = maxLoss / stopDistance

This formula ensures that if your stop loss triggers, you lose exactly your planned risk percentage โ€” regardless of what leverage you use. On MEXC, set your stop loss order immediately after opening a position to enforce the limit automatically.

MEXC fee structure

MEXC charges maker fee 0.00% and taker fee 0.06% on perpetual futures. Maximum available leverage is 200ร—. This calculator pre-fills these defaults so you get accurate results without needing to look up the fee schedule. If you are on a VIP tier with discounted fees, adjust the fee fields accordingly.

Maker orders (limit orders that add liquidity) cost less than taker orders (market orders that remove liquidity). On MEXC, using limit orders for both entry and exit can reduce your total fee cost significantly compared to market orders.
