# Leverage

"A constant leverage" feature will allow you to leverage the total collateral value of your account. It will reconsider, after each trade, the new value of your account and therefore the value of the position after leverage.\
Your position size will then be different after each trade (except if the last one is a break-even).

*Ex: Collateral value account: 10 000$, \[A constant leverage of 2]*\
*The bot will open a 20 000$ position for the first trade (10 000$ \* 2). The position is closed for a 5 000$ profit. Total collateral value is now 15 000$.* 

*For the next trade, the bot will open a 30 000$ position (15 000$ \* 2). The trade results in a loss of  2500$. Total collateral value is now 12 500$.*

*For the 3rd trade, the bot will open a position of 25 000$ (12 500$ \* 2).*

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.runbot.io/risk-management-boxes/position-size/leverage.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
