Could you please clarify for me what exactly is meant by "50x leverage" in the context of cryptocurrency trading? I understand leverage is used to amplify gains and losses, but I'm not sure how the specific number 50x factors into that. Is it referring to the ability to control a position that's 50 times the size of my initial investment? And if so, how does that impact the potential risks and rewards of my trades?

The margin requirement is inversely proportional to the leverage ratio.

For instance, with a leverage of 50:1, the margin needed is 2% of the position value.
