What are the limitations on leverage for trading on markets.com?

In the world of trading, leverage is like borrowing money.

It is used to magnify your purchasing power without paying so much upfront. The higher the leverage, the larger the position you can open.

However, while leverage can result in great profits, it may also bring about huge losses if the market moves against you.

So it is crucial to use leverage very cautiously.
