    What is leverage?

    Short answer

    Leverage means using borrowed money to invest more than you actually own. A 2x leveraged €1,000 acts like €2,000 — gains AND losses double.

    Why it matters

    It's one of the fastest ways to lose money if you're starting out. Understand it before you ever use it.
