Terms & Concepts
  • Leverage: Leverage refers to the use of borrowed capital to increase the potential return on an investment, allowing traders to control a larger position with a smaller amount of their own capital.
  • Position Tiers: Position tiers are predefined levels that determine the margin requirements, leverage, and other parameters based on the size of a trader's position in the market.
