# Adjusting Leverage

Leverage allows you to amplify your trading position by borrowing additional funds. This means you can control a larger position with a smaller amount of your own capital.&#x20;

On Volta Market, you can set leverage up to **250x**. Use the slider or the input box above it to choose your desired leverage level.
