What is Moon.com?

Moon.com is a trading platform where you take a position on the price of a market going up or down, with leverage from 1× to 1000×. You choose a market, a direction and a stake, and the leverage multiplies the result. Trades are short and simple, and at high leverage one can be won or lost in a few minutes: of the positions at 500× or more that we tracked from 21 to 28 October 2026, half were closed in less than two and a half minutes.

Moon Alerts is an independent tracker of Moon.com players. We read the platform's public data and archive every trade we can see. This guide explains how the platform works, with numbers tracked by Moon Alerts since 15 August 2026.

How a trade works

Every position on Moon.com comes down to four choices:

• Market: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Zcash, Apple, gold, the S&P 500 and 38 more. Markets lists them all.
• Direction: long if you expect the price to rise, short if you expect it to fall.
• Stake: the amount you put on the trade. It is also the most you can lose on it.
• Leverage: from 1× to 1000×. The position size is the stake times the leverage, so a $10 stake at 1000× trades like a position of about $10,000.

The position then stays open until you close it, or until a take-profit, a stop-loss or a liquidation closes it for you. Moon.com also closes some positions itself around scheduled events on its calendar, such as an earnings release, the Sunday reopening of stock and futures markets, or the weekly reset of its synthetic markets. You can also close part of a position, or flip it to the opposite side with the same stake.

The markets

Moon.com lists 44 markets (as of 28 October 2026): crypto (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Zcash, XRP and 14 more), stocks (Apple, Nvidia, Tesla, Microsoft and 10 more), commodities (gold, silver, platinum, palladium and oil), two forex pairs (EUR/USD and GBP/USD), the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices, and two synthetic markets, Titan and Orbit. The synthetic markets have no outside price: Moon.com generates it from a secret weekly seed, then publishes the seed on a provably fair page for each market once the week is over, so anyone can recompute that week's prices. Both are reset every week, and Moon.com closes positions on them at the reset: on 11, 18 and 25 October 2026, these closures came on Sunday at 23:50 UTC.

On Moon.com's own counters, Zcash, Bitcoin and Titan have the most closed trades. Every market has its own page on Moon Alerts, for example Bitcoin, with tracked volume, open positions, top traders and the latest closed trades.

Fees and payouts

Three things decide what a trade really pays:

• Opening fee: taken from the stake when the position opens, and again each time a position is flipped. It is 1% of the stake on most positions we track.
• Holding fee, also called funding fee: Moon.com says a position kept open longer than 8 hours may pay it every 8 hours, taken from the account balance, and that a position can be closed automatically when the balance can no longer cover it. Our archive holds 81 such closures, all between 16 August and 14 September 2026, each an exact multiple of 8 hours after the opening. As of 28 October 2026, Moon.com reports a holding fee of zero on every position where we record it.
• Performance fee on wins: Moon.com pays a winning position on a "filled" price, a little less favourable than the market price. With the current settings, a win keeps at most 90% of the price move, and a smaller share when the move is small. Losses count the full move.

A real example: the biggest win in our archive, a $100,000 short on Bitcoin at 1000× closed on 27 September 2026, made +$502,885 on a 0.64% drop. At the full market move it would have made about $628,000: Moon.com paid it on about 80% of the move. Our methodology replays this payout formula every day on real closed trades, and it matches to the cent.

Liquidation in short

The stake is the margin of the position. If the price moves against you by 1 divided by the leverage, the stake is gone and Moon.com closes the position: a 10% move at 10×, 1% at 100×, 0.1% at 1000×. That is a liquidation, and the whole stake is lost.

How liquidations work covers the mechanics in detail, and 1000× leverage explained shows what such a thin margin means in practice.

What the numbers say

Since 15 August 2026, Moon Alerts has archived more than 567,000 closed trades on Moon.com, for more than $101 million wagered. To avoid a bias toward wins, our headline rates use only the 272,968 positions we saw open and followed to their close. Of those (tracked by Moon Alerts, figures as of 28 October 2026):

• 40.7% closed in profit,
• 33.9% were liquidated,
• 25.5% closed at a loss or flat, without being liquidated.

The average leverage of these positions was 734×, and 77% of all archived trades used 500× or more. The Records page keeps the all-time highs and lows, and Live positions shows the biggest trades open right now.

Leaderboards, profiles and VIP tiers

Moon.com publishes a leaderboard by profit and ROI for the day, the week, the month and all time, a list of its Best Bets, and a public profile for each player with their VIP tier and, unless they choose to hide their bets, their lifetime wagered. Top players shows the official leaderboard live, and each name on it links to the player's profile on Moon Alerts. Every player we have seen trade in public has one, with their tracked trades, P&L, liquidations and open positions: How to track a Moon.com player explains how to find and follow a player.

The VIP ladder on Moon.com's VIP page runs from Bronze at $10,000 wagered to Diamond V at $500 million. Moon.com VIP tiers lists every rank and its perks, and VIP progress shows how far you are from the next one.

What the data says about risk

Moon.com is built for short, high-leverage trades, and the data shows what that means: a third of the positions we track end with the whole stake lost, and the share rises with leverage, from 1.5% of positions below 10× to 38.8% at 500× and above (as of 28 October 2026). Two settings change this mechanically: a lower leverage puts the liquidation price further from the entry, and a stop-loss under 100% usually closes the position before the whole stake is gone.
