Understanding Leverage

Perpetuals allow you to trade with leverage, meaning you can control larger positions with less capital. Higher leverage means higher risk;your position can be liquidated if the market moves against you.

Start with lower leverage (2x-5x) until you're comfortable with how perps work.
