Leverage

Leverage allows traders to control a larger position than their capital alone would permit by borrowing funds from a broker. A leverage ratio of 10:1 means a trader controls $10,000 worth of an asset with $1,000 of their own capital. While leverage amplifies potential gains, it equally amplifies losses — making risk management and stop loss discipline absolutely critical. Uncontrolled leverage combined with emotional decision-making is one of the most common causes of significant capital loss for retail traders. At One-Signal, we do not prescribe leverage levels — members execute through their own brokers using instruments and leverage of their choice. However, every One-Signal signal includes a pre-defined stop loss, ensuring that regardless of leverage used, members have a defined exit point before entering any position.
