What is Leverage?
Brokers & ordersUsing borrowed money to control a bigger position than your cash. It multiplies both gains and losses.
Think of it like: Riding a bike downhill: you go much faster, and a crash hurts much more.
Real example: At 1:100 leverage, $1,000 controls $100,000, so a 1% move wins or loses your whole $1,000.
