Leverage

Leverage lets you control a larger notional position with less margin, amplifying both gains and losses.

What Is Leverage?

Leverage lets you control a larger notional position with less margin, amplifying both gains and losses.

Higher leverage shortens the distance to liquidation. It is a risk multiplier, not a strategy.

Why Leverage Matters

  • Why traders care: Capital efficiency with magnified downside.
  • Playbook fit: Best with structure, volume, and risk rules.
  • Alert fit: Clear levels or thresholds become Phalerta notifications.

How Traders Use Leverage

Use low leverage until execution is consistent. Size from invalidation distance.

Example: Leverage in Practice

A trader uses modest leverage and price alerts near danger zones.

Pro Tip

Alerts cannot remove leverage risk — they only notify.
