What is leverage in trading?
How does leverage work?
Leverage works by allowing you to open larger trades using a smaller amount of capital (margin).
For example, if you wish to open a trade with a notional value worth $10,000 using 1:100 leverage, you only need to deposit $100 as margin to control the full position size. This increases your total market exposure without requiring the full amount deposited in your trading account.
It’s important to know that both profits and losses are amplified when trading with leverage, as you are exposed to the price fluctuations relative to the full trade size.
