# Adjusting Leverage

*Leverage* is a tool in trading that allows you to control a larger position with a smaller amount of capital, amplifying potential profits (or losses) from market movements. It involves borrowing funds from the trading platform, with your initial capital serving as collateral.

Bitfunded offers users flexibility in adjusting leverage. In Bitfunded, it is possible to use leverage ranging from 1 to 5 times across all listed trading pairs. Using leverage, you can multiply your margin to increase your total order amount.

`Calculated as,`` `*`Total Position Size = Margin x Leverage`*
