Leverage is a trading mechanism used to increase market exposure by allowing to pay less than the full amount of the investment. In Finance, Leverage is borrowing money to supplement existing funds for investments so that the potential positive or negative outcome is magnified and/or enhanced.
For example, a trader can use 1:400 leverage and can control a $400,000 trade with $1,000.
