A leveraged trade in the simulator

- Choose bitcoin (if your bitcoin trade from the lesson “Your first trade by the rules” is still open, wait for it to close), turn on “Size from risk”, and set the risk to 1% of your account. - Set the stop with the “−1%” button and the target with the “+2%” button. - The simulator will calculate a volume of about $1,000 — almost your whole account. With leverage “1×”, the margin will equal the whole volume. - Set leverage to “5×”. The volume stays the same, but the margin becomes five times smaller. - Find the “Stop-out” line in the form and compare: your stop is 1% from your entry, the stop-out is much further away. Press “Buy”.

While the trade is open, look at the account line: “Margin”, “Free”, “Margin level”. When the price moves against you, the margin level goes down. But the stop will close the trade long before the danger line.
