Category – Leverage

Leverage is the use of borrowed funds to increase the potential return on investment. In trading, leverage allows traders to control larger positions with a smaller initial capital outlay, amplifying both profits and losses. Leverage is commonly used in forex, stock, and futures trading. While it can enhance returns, it also increases risk, as market fluctuations can result in significant losses. Traders must carefully manage leverage to avoid margin calls and ensure that risk is within their tolerance levels.
