<h2>What is Leverage?</h2>
Leverage lets you open larger trades using a smaller amount of your own money. It works by borrowing funds from the broker to increase your market exposure.
For example, with 1:500 leverage, every $1 in your account gives you access to $500 in trade size.
Keep in mind: while leverage can increase potential profits, it also increases potential losses. Use it carefully.
