CFDs can provide access to an underlying asset at a lower cost and offer the option to go long or short, but they also come with significant risk of losses. Trading CFDs on leverage means you can participate in the losses/gains of an underlying asset for a fraction of that underlying asset's value as initial investment. The use of leverage magnifies the size of the trade, which means that your potential gain and your potential loss are equally magnified. You should closely monitor all the open positions to manage the risk of large losses.  First, you should always do your own research and not invest money in Bitpanda Leverage that you cannot afford to lose.  Bitpanda Leverage contains a margin close out control with a trigger of 50% of the initial margin. This means that a position will be automatically closed if a 50% loss has been incurred. A negative balance control ensures that potential losses of your position are capped at the original amount you invested into Bitpanda Leverage.
