The highest possible leverage is provided automatically when you open a position, and you control it by choosing your position size. For example, let's say you have 0.1 BTC as equity in your trading account, and you wish to trade BTC/USD. You can open a maximum position of 10 BTC. It will result in maximum margin utilization at 100x leverage, and 0% of Available Margin will remain.
However, you don't have to open such a large position. Opening a 0.5 BTC position, on the other hand, would only use 5x leverage against your equity of 0.1BTC - leaving you with plenty of available margin. This would also lower the risk of your position being liquidated should the market move against you.
Position size is, therefore, the key to managing your risk, and you are in full control of it.
Please note that we do not recommend utilizing 100% of your Available Margin as this creates a significant risk of liquidation with even the smallest price move against you.
