How to buy with leverage
Amplify your position using leverage on Space.
What is leverage?
Leverage lets you open a larger position than your deposited amount. For example, 2x leverage means $100 USDC controls $200 worth of shares. This amplifies both gains and losses.

Margin and liquidation
Your deposited USDC acts as margin. If the market moves against you far enough, your position may be liquidated to prevent losses beyond your margin. Monitor your positions in the Portfolio page.

Best practices
Start with low leverage (2x) until you're comfortable. Keep an eye on your liquidation price. Higher leverage means higher risk — only use it when you have strong conviction.
