# Leverage

## **Overview**

**DUET Protocol** enables traders to benefit from leverage (**up to 25x on Arbitrum**) by covering a position with margin usage that is worth less than the total size of the position.

The use of leverage, depending on the degree of leverage, significantly affects your margin usage, has an impact on your margin requirement, and can greatly increase the possibility of liquidation. Therefore, traders should be aware of how leverage works, including its functioning and risks of losing or being liquidated.

You can prevent your account/position from falling below the Maintenance Margin requirement and being liquidated by depositing sufficient margin to your position(s) to maintain the margin requirement\

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://duet-protocol.gitbook.io/duet-protocol/duet-pro/leverage.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
