/setLeverage: change the leverage HafizeBot trades with
/setLeverage sets how many times your margin goes into each position, from 1x to 20x, 2x by default; higher leverage leaves a smaller move before Binance liquidates, roughly 100% divided by the leverage.

Leverage multiplies both the position and the risk. At 2x a position is liquidated after a move of roughly 50% against it, at 10x roughly 10%. The bot uses your leverage for every new position; where a coin allows less, it uses the coin's maximum and says so in /lastsignals.
Examples
/setLeverage 3
Leverage updated to 3.
Show your current value:
/myLeverage
Your Leverage: 3
When your stop-loss would no longer fit, the bot refuses the change and says what to do first:
/setLeverage 10
At 10x with isolated margin, Binance liquidates a position after a move of about 10%, so your 35% stop would never be reached. Lower the stop to 7% or less first (/setStopLoss), then raise the leverage.

Questions
What leverage should I use?
There is no right value for everyone. Lower leverage gives a position more room before liquidation and makes each trade cost less if it goes wrong. Check /summary after a change: it shows what a losing trade costs at your stop.
Why did a trade open at a lower leverage than mine?
Binance caps leverage per coin and per position size. Where your setting is higher, the bot uses the coin's maximum. See leverage limits.

Related commands
- /setStopLoss/setStopLoss sets how far the price may move against an entry before the bot closes it, as a percent of price from 0 to 90, 35 by default; 0 means no stop, and the stop must be closer than your liquidation price.
- /setPositionSize/setPositionSize sets the USDT margin each auto-trade uses, 25 by default; the position on Binance is that margin times your leverage, so 25 USDT at 2x opens a 50 USDT position.
- /setMarginType/setMarginType chooses ISOLATED (default), where each position has its own margin and cannot lose more than it, or CROSSED, where your whole futures balance backs every position.
- /summary/summary shows every auto-trading setting with the command that changes it, and what your settings put at risk in USDT: margin per trade, position size at your leverage, margin in use and the loss at your stop.
