# Leverage {% hint style="warning" %} Higher leverage always incurs higher risks: higher likelihood of liquidation, higher fees, and higher stress. Today, leverage has become a fundamental tool in both traditional finance and in decentralised finance, as well. It has tremendous benefits and potentially disastrous consequences, with the use of leverage often incurring major detriments. Always conduct proper research and manage your risk effectively. Ensure you place & adhere to strict rules and discipline when using leverage. {% endhint %} At CyberDEX, we are pleased to inform you that our Traders can use up to 50x leverage whilst trading the majority of markets. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
