“Smart leverage for responsible traders.”

What is financial leverage?

Leverage lets you trade with exposure greater than the capital you have deposited, using a “margin” as collateral. It is a powerful tool, but a double-edged one: it can multiply your gains… and your losses as well.

Advantages

Potential for greater gains with less capital tied up.

Access to more markets and the ability to diversify or go short.

Example:

With leverage of 1:10, if you have $1,000 you can open positions of up to $10,000

Risks

Losses are amplified as well, and you may receive margin calls.

There are financing costs and greater sensitivity to volatility.
