Leverage
Gearing) The usage of a margin to trade on a larger capital base. In foreign exchange a trader\"s leverage is often represented as a percentage of margin requirements. For example a 1% margin will give a 100:1 leverage, and so a trader with a deposit of $10,000 will be able to hold open positions of $1,000,000 being 100 times his net equity. The high degree of leverage that is obtainable in the trading of off-exchange foreign currency transactions can work against you as well as for you. Leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains.
