Leverage allows traders to control a larger trading position with a smaller amount of capital.
It amplifies both potential profits and potential losses.
📊 How does Leverage work?
Leverage is expressed as a ratio, such as 1:100.
Example:
With 1:100 leverage
You only need $1,000 margin
To control a $100,000 position
This means your trading power is increased 100 times your deposited margin.
📌 Why is Leverage important?
Leverage allows traders to:
Open larger positions
Use capital more efficiently
However, it also increases risk.
⚠️ Important Risk Warning
While leverage can magnify profits, it can also magnify losses.
Small market movements may significantly impact your account.
Always use leverage responsibly.
