Control big positions with small capitalForex chart + lever lifting coins
– Leverage lets you control a large trade with a small investment– Example: 100:1 leverage → $1 controls $100– Think of it as a financial “lever” amplifying your capital
What is Forex Leverage?
– Leverage = ratio of control (e.g., 100:1)– Margin = your money required to open a trade– Example: $100,000 EUR/USD trade → $1,000 margin at 100:1, $200 at 500:1
How Leverage Works with Margin
– Leverage can multiply profits:– $1,000 trade → 1% move = $10 profit without leverage– $1,000 trade with 100:1 leverage → 1% move = $1,000 profit– Small capital, big opportunities
