FAQ

What does '10x leverage' mean?

It means your position size is 10 times your margin — a $100 margin controls a $1,000 position, amplifying both gains and losses.

Does higher leverage increase risk of liquidation?

Yes significantly — higher leverage means a smaller adverse price move is needed to trigger liquidation.
