Lesson 13: What Is Leverage?
Leverage allows you to open bigger trades with less capital. While it can increase potential gains, it can also increase potential losses, which is why careful risk management matters.

Lesson 14: What Is Margin?
Margin is the deposit required to open and keep a leveraged trade, not a fee or transaction cost �. In simple terms, your broker sets aside part of your account equity as collateral so you can control a larger position than your balance alone would allow �.
Why it matters
Margin helps you enter trades with leverage, which increases both opportunity and risk �.
A higher margin requirement means you need more account funds to open the same trade �.
If your equity drops too much, you can face a margin call or forced closure of positions �.

Lesson 15: What Is Spread?
Spread is the difference between the Bid and Ask price, and it is one of the main transaction costs in trading �. In general, lower spreads can make trading cheaper, especially for frequent traders and short-term strategies
