While leverage can increase profits, it also increases losses when things go wrong. This adds another layer of complexity and risk to futures trading.

These changes can be adverse, meaning they may move against the trader's position.

When prices move against a trader, the losses can be devastating, especially if the trader is not properly hedged.

Market risk in futures trading is further magnified by leverage. Leverage allows traders to control larger positions with less capital.
