Every week, we share insights into popular assets and answer frequently asked investment questions, helping you understand the financial markets in bite-sized pieces.
In this edition of Markets in Focus, we explore trading with leverage, a powerful tool for more experienced investors looking to boost their potential returns.
What is Leverage Trading?
Leverage trading allows you to multiply your investment exposure, which can increase both potential profits and potential losses. Simply put, leverage lets you trade with more capital than you actually invest.
Example:
- Without leverage: You invest €100 in Tesla stock. If the stock rises 2%, your position grows to €102.
- With 5× leverage: Your €100 investment is effectively €500. A 2% gain now gives you €110 instead of €102.
However, the risk works both ways. A 2% drop without leverage costs €2, but with 5× leverage, the same drop costs €10, reducing your €100 position to €90.
