Kureo Mado The leverage always remains the same.
It's the ratio, the fraction of the total contract value that a trader has to keep in the balance as used margin. Another way to look at leverage would be to consider it a financial tool that increases the trading power, making profits (and losses) proportionally greater.
Borrowed money or not, any trader gets 100% of the profits or/and 100% of the losses.
Please mind that CFD trading is risky.
