How does leverage work?
Leverage is a key feature available on backofficedemo’s platform, and can be a powerful tool for a trader. You can use it to take advantage of comparatively small price movements, ‘gear’ your portfolio for greater position size, and to make your capital grow faster.
Leverage works by using a deposit, known as margin, to provide you with increased exposure. Essentially, you’re putting down a fraction of the full value of your trade – and backofficedemo is providing you the rest. Our products allow traders to gain exposure to major cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum and others, without tying up lots of capital.
BTC/USD trade example
For example, you want to buy 10 Bitcoins at a price of $10,000.
To open such trade with a traditional exchange, you would be required to pay 10 x $10,000 for a position of $100,000 (ignoring any commission or other charges). If the Bitcoin price goes up by 5%, your 10 Bitcoins are now worth $10,500 each.
If you choose to sell, then you’d have made a $5,000 profit from your original $100,000 investment.
1:5 leverage trade with backofficedemo
Here you’d only have to pay 1% of your $100,000 position, or $20,000 to open such trade. If the Bitcoin price rises by 5%, you would still make the same profit of $5,000, but at a considerably reduced cost.
That means that profits can be hugely multiplied.
