Leverage allows traders to control larger positions with less upfront capital by moving their liquidation level proportionally (e.g., 4x leverage moves liquidation 4x), but it does not inherently increase risk as long as the liquidation level remains outside the stop loss trigger point, meaning leverage simply enables taking specific trades with smaller capital while maintaining the same risk exposure.

Is leverage really that dangerous? Here is the truth about liquidation levels.Added:
All it's doing is taking this liquidation level and moving it up 4x.
So, if this is our 50% point, this is our 75%. Okay, so now in order for you to lose your entire investment, price only needs to travel down by this amount versus needing to travel down the entire amount. But, now you're able to use 4x the size. So, if we look back at an example like this, as long as that liquidation value is outside of where your stop loss is going to be triggered, you're not adding any more or less risk.
All leverage is doing is allowing you to use less amount of money in order to get more size to take the specific trade.
