How Does ‘Leverage’ Increase the Risk of Liquidation?

Leverage allows a trader to control a large position with a small amount of capital (margin). While it magnifies potential profits, it equally magnifies potential losses.

A highly leveraged position will breach the maintenance margin requirement with a much smaller adverse price movement than a low-leverage position, making liquidation more frequent and sudden.
