Leverage lets شما control a large مركز with a small deposit. It magnifies gains and losses equally — which is why it is the single most misunderstood and dangerous أداة for new المتداولون.

What leverage and margin mean

Leverage(e.g. 1:100) is the ratio between your مركز size and the capital required to باز کردن it.Marginis the deposit the وسيط locks to hold the مركز. At 1:100, a $1,000 margin controls a $100,000 مركز.

The danger nobody emphasises enough

Leverage does not change how much شماshouldمخاطرة — only how much شماcan. A متداول risking 1% per صفقة behaves identically at 1:30 or 1:500. Blow-ups come from sizing to the leverage limit instead of to a مخاطرة plan. بالا leverage is a rope: useful, or enough to hang yourself.

Margin calls and stop-outs

If losses erode your margin past the وسيط's threshold, positions are force-closed (a stop-out). Understanding مجاني margin and margin سطح keeps شما from the most avoidable حساب death: liquidation.
