Position Leverage

Position leverage is the leverage applied to a specific, single trade position. It is calculated by dividing the notional value of the position by the margin deposited for that position.

Monitoring position leverage is critical because it tells the trader exactly how sensitive that particular trade is to price fluctuations.
