Is trading with leverage risky?
Trading with leverage simply refers to trading with money that is borrowed. So traders invest only a chunk of the total investment that they make, and the rest is invested on their behalf by their broker. If a broker offers leverage of 1:10, this means that for every dollar that you invest, your broker will invest 10 dollars on your behalf. In short, this is risky by its nature so it is something you have to keep in mind.
