| 0.2%         | 0.2%        | 5.0%         | 10.0%        | 20.0%         |
| 0.5%         | 0.5%        | 12.5%        | 25.0%        | 50.0%         |
| 1.0%         | 1.0%        | 25.0%        | 50.0%        | 100.0%        |

## Technical Implementation

### 1. **Dashboard Layout Integration**
```python
# Added to System & Leverage panel
html.Div([
    html.Label([
        html.I(className="fas fa-chart-line me-1"),
        "Leverage Multiplier"
    ], className="form-label small fw-bold"),
    dcc.Slider(
        id='leverage-slider',
        min=1.0,
        max=100.0,
        step=1.0,
        value=50.0,
        marks={1: '1x', 10: '10x', 25: '25x', 50: '50x', 75: '75x', 100: '100x'},
        tooltip={"placement": "bottom", "always_visible": True}
    )
])
```

### 2. **Callback Implementation**
- **Input**: Leverage slider value changes
- **Outputs**: Current leverage display, risk level, risk badge styling
- **Functionality**: Real-time updates with validation and logging

### 3. **State Management**
```python
# Dashboard initialization
self.leverage_multiplier = 50.0  # Default 50x leverage
self.min_leverage = 1.0
self.max_leverage = 100.0
self.leverage_step = 1.0
```

### 4. **Risk Calculation Logic**
```python
if leverage <= 5:
    risk_level = "Low Risk"
    risk_class = "badge bg-success"
elif leverage <= 25:
    risk_level = "Medium Risk" 
    risk_class = "badge bg-warning text-dark"
elif leverage <= 50:
    risk_level = "High Risk"
    risk_class = "badge bg-danger"
else:
    risk_level = "Extreme Risk"
    risk_class = "badge bg-dark"
```

## User Interface

### 1. **Location**
- **Panel**: System & Leverage (bottom right of dashboard)
- **Position**: Below system status, above explanatory text
- **Visibility**: Always visible and accessible

### 2. **Visual Design**
- **Slider**: Bootstrap-styled with clear marks
- **Badges**: Color-coded risk indicators
- **Icons**: Font Awesome chart icon for visual clarity
- **Typography**: Clear labels and explanatory text

### 3. **User Experience**
- **Immediate Feedback**: Leverage and risk update instantly
- **Clear Guidance**: "Higher leverage = Higher rewards & risks"
- **Intuitive Controls**: Standard slider interface
- **Visual Cues**: Color-coded risk levels

## Benefits for Model Training

### 1. **Enhanced Learning Signals**
- **Problem Solved**: Small price movements (0.1%) now generate significant rewards (5% at 50x)
- **Model Sensitivity**: Neural networks can now distinguish between good and bad decisions
- **Training Efficiency**: Faster convergence due to amplified reward signals

### 2. **Adaptive Risk Management**
- **Conservative Start**: Begin with lower leverage (1x-10x) for stable learning
- **Progressive Scaling**: Increase leverage as models improve
- **Maximum Performance**: Use 50x-100x for aggressive learning phases

### 3. **Real-world Preparation**
- **Leverage Simulation**: Models learn to handle leveraged trading scenarios
- **Risk Awareness**: Training includes risk management considerations
- **Market Realism**: Simulates actual trading conditions with leverage
