Leverage is a tool that allows traders to trade with multiple times the amount of their equity. This type of technique in the CFDs market allows you to control a large amount of money while using very little of your own money and borrowing the rest from a broker.
Leverage allows traders to potentially magnify potential profits, making it a strong point in the CFDs market.
On the other hand, there are numerous opportunities for investments to fail. It can also result in significant losses. As a result, traders who use leverage must understand the Stop Loss technique to avoid losses.
Leverage should be managed in accordance with your trading strategy. Leverage allows you to increase the fund to gain a larger exposure than the actual fund, such as
- Leverage: 1:100 Equity at $10 can hold the asset or trade at 10*100 = $1000.
- Leverage: 1:500 Equity at $10 can hold the asset or trade at 10*500 = $5000.
As you can see, higher levels of leverage allow traders to trade with more assets or higher levels of margin.
