Leverage
Betting bigger with borrowed money. Multiplies both gains and losses.
In detail
Leverage means investing more than your own cash (e.g., a 2x leveraged ETF, or margin). Gains multiply on the way up, but losses multiply on the way down — very risky for beginners. '3x leverage' tracks three times the daily move.
