Due to regulations, leverage trading on Moonshot isn't available everywhere and is subject to eligibility requirements and restrictions. We follow the rules, which means our platform is only open to traders outside of Canada, UK, US and certain other restricted regions. We do not allow activity in these countries, and are not subject to regulation or examination by these authorities. Using VPNs to bypass geo-restrictions violates our Terms, so keep it real! ### On the move? **Traveling to an Ineligible Region** If you travel to a region where our leverage trading isn't available: * Your account switches to spectator mode 👀 * You can watch your trades, but you can’t manage or adjust them * Open positions remain active, meaning they could still move against you Think of it like your account’s gone off to St. Barts for a little R\&R—you can sip the view, but you can’t jump in the pool. While your positions remain open, they’re still subject to market swings and possible liquidation. Since you won’t be able to take action until you’re back in an eligible region, it’s important to understand the potential risks of being locked out while markets keep moving. **Moving Permanently?** If you're relocating for good to a place where we don’t offer leverage trading, contact our support team at . **Acknowledgement of Risk & Disclaimer** As with any asset, the value of any token can increase or decrease, and there can be a substantial risk that you lose money buying, selling, holding, trading, or swapping tokens. You should consult your financial advisor, legal or tax professional regarding your specific situation and financial condition, and carefully consider whether buying, selling, holding, trading, or swapping tokens is suitable for you.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://support.moonshot.com/trade/leverage/eligible-traders.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
