ETFs (exchange-traded funds)

If you want lower risk, you can choose to not leveraged at all, or invest with a more modest leverage. Where you would normally earned only 1000 dollars, would you earned 15,000 million with a leverage of 1:15, so it pays to leverage if you have a strong and well-founded opinion on future price changes.
