Leverage

Using borrowed exposure to control a larger position than your own deposit alone would allow.

Leverage lets a trader control a position larger than their account balance — for example, 1:100 leverage means a $1,000 deposit can control a $100,000 position. It amplifies both gains and losses proportionally, and is closely tied to margin requirements and margin calls.
