I'm curious about the terminology used in the world of cryptocurrency. Could you please explain what '4x' means in this context? Is it related to some form of leverage or trading strategy? And how does it specifically apply to crypto investments? I'm eager to learn more about this concept and how it might impact my investment decisions.

At 3x leverage, the used margin is reduced to one-third of the funds used, allowing traders to take even larger positions with a smaller initial investment. Similarly, 4x and 5x leverage further decrease the used margin to one-fourth and one-fifth, respectively.

In the world of cryptocurrency trading, leverage is a crucial concept that allows traders to amplify their potential profits, albeit with an increased risk. The leverage level determines the ratio of borrowed funds to the trader's own capital, essentially multiplying the trading power.

For instance, a leverage level of 2x means that the trader is able to control twice the amount of funds they have initially invested. This amplification of buying power can significantly enhance profits when the market moves favorably.

Conversely, the used margin represents the portion of the trader's funds that are allocated towards a particular trade. As the leverage level increases, the used margin decreases, as a larger proportion of the total position is financed through borrowed funds.

Specifically, at a leverage level of 2x, the used margin is half of the funds used, meaning that the trader is only contributing half of the total position's value from their own capital. This pattern continues with higher leverage levels.
