What Is Leverage Trading?

Leverage lets you control a larger position with less capital. With 10x leverage, a 10% move in the asset can double your margin or wipe it out. Exchanges offer leverage on futures or margin products. While it can amplify gains, it amplifies losses even more. Many retail traders lose money with leverage. Use it only if you fully understand liquidation and risk. In India, leverage may be restricted on some platforms. Consider sticking to spot trading until you are experienced.
