1. What is leverage?
Leverage uses borrowed funds to establish a position larger than your own capital.
💡 Example
$1,000 capital with 10x leverage = a $10,000 position.
BTC +5% → $500 profit, or +50% of capital.
BTC −5% → $500 loss, or −50% of capital.
2. Comparing leverage levels
- 2x: In the source's simplified comparison, withstands a 50% decline; described as relatively safe and suited to swing trading.
- 3x–5x: Withstands approximately 20–33% declines in the same comparison; associated with short-term trading.
- 10x: The source places liquidation at a 10% decline and calls it very dangerous.
- 20x–100x: Compared with a casino and discouraged by the source.
3. Rules for safer use
