Example of Forex Trading with Leverage

Imagine you have $1,000 and want to start trading in the forex market. After opening a trading account with a broker, you deposit this amount as your initial capital.

With $1,000, you could actually enter the market. However, to maximize opportunities, you may want to control a larger transaction value. This is where leverage comes in.

For example, you choose a leverage of 1:100. This means your $1,000 capital gives you exposure of up to $100,000 in the forex market. In other words, you control a transaction value 100 times larger than your initial funds.

The $1,000 used to open this position is referred to as the margin.
