    Sure thing! The leverage ratio is a metric used in bitcoin trading to determine the amount of borrowed funds compared to your own funds. To calculate the leverage ratio, you divide the total value of your position by the amount of your own funds used as margin. For example, if you have a position worth $10,000 and you used $2,000 of your own funds as margin, the leverage ratio would be 5x (10,000 / 2,000 = 5). This means you are trading with 5 times the amount of your own funds. Keep in mind that leverage can amplify both profits and losses, so it's important to use it wisely and have a risk management plan in place.
