#Binance #EffetLevier #Traiding #Risque Leverage is a financial technique that involves using borrowed capital or a derivative product to increase exposure in a market without having to provide the total necessary funds. It is a tool that amplifies both potential gains and potential losses.
The analogy of physical leverage:
Imagine you want to lift a huge stone. If you lift it by hand, you will struggle. But with a lever (a crowbar, for example), you apply a small force over a long distance to lift a huge weight over a short distance. In finance, it's the same: a small amount of money (your initial stake) allows you to control a very large position.
