Considerations for Using Leverage

• Amplified Returns: Leverage can help you generate higher profits if the market moves in your favor. However, it can also result in magnified losses if the market moves against you.
• Risk Management: It's crucial to implement risk management strategies, such as stop-loss orders and position sizing, to mitigate potential losses.
• Margin Call: If the leverage account's equity falls below a certain threshold, Upbit may issue a margin call, requiring you to deposit additional funds or close your position.
• Emotional Trading: Avoid emotional decision-making and stick to your trading plan to prevent irrational trading under the influence of leverage.
