# Leverage

{% hint style="warning" %}
REMEMBER: higher leverage levels involve a greater risk of liquidation, which means that the trade could be closed forcibly if the market moves against your position. 

With higher leverage, even a small movement from the entry price can result in <mark style="color:orange;">**liquidation**</mark>.
{% endhint %}

Leverage represents the <mark style="color:green;">**extra asset value**</mark> you can include in your trade using the <mark style="color:green;">**EasyX**</mark> Platform.

Our platform allows you to amplify your trades by up to <mark style="color:green;">**100 times**</mark> the value of your collateral. For instance, if you have **$1,000** as collateral, you can place trades with a value of up to <mark style="color:green;">**$100,000**</mark>.

The slider on the platform serves as a multiplier for the value you input, enabling you to adjust the leverage level according to your preferences and risk tolerance.
