What are some ways I can use leverage in trading stocks?

There are several ways to use leverage when trading stocks. One is through the use of options, where traders can buy stocks on margin and benefit from increased potential profits. Another is by using futures contracts, which allow traders to buy or sell a predetermined amount of a particular stock at a set price, on a set date in the future. Traders can also place stop orders and limit orders which function as leveraged trades that execute automatically when the stock reaches specified prices. Additionally, day trading techniques such as spread betting and pairs trading utilize high levels of leverage for potentially lucrative short-term opportunities in the stock market.

Some ways to use leverage in trading stocks include using options, margin, and futures contracts. Options allow you to speculate on the stock price without owning the underlying stock while utilizing margin allows you to magnify your position size by borrowings funds from a broker. Futures contracts let traders gain exposure to an asset without having to purchase it outright.
