If the leverage is 100, when buying a stock for 100 USD with a full amount of 100,000 USD, it will get up to 1,000 units but trade in the wrong way. Only 1 USD will immediately clear the pot. If Leverage is 500 to 1, it means that if buying a full 5,000 Unit with the wrong price of just 0.2 USD will immediately clear the pot.
