## Before you start

* Opening a position uses a **flash loan** to build the full leveraged position in one transaction. If any step fails, the whole transaction reverts.
* **Leverage amplifies losses as well as gains**, and every position carries variable-rate debt, so rising borrow costs can eat into or reverse your returns.
* Some correlated pairs use **eMode** for higher leverage, which also narrows the buffer to your liquidation threshold.
