Concerning eg. Volatility 200 (1s) Index trading:

If one selects ”x1” in the ”Multipliers” drop-down menu, does it mean that one is trading with just the cash which is put at stake, without any borrowings?

Hi @antigun-agelast-1, thank you for posting your inquiry in our Deriv community. Regarding your inquiry on the Multipliers, once you selected your trade type and open a position, the stake that you put is the amount that will be held on the system. It should be reflected in your statement section for your reference. You may find our Multiplier PnL calculator by clicking [here](https://eu.deriv.com/trader-tools/pnl-for-multipliers/). This calculator is an estimation of the risk for your multiplier trade.

Aside from that, you may also refer to our Youtube video regarding Multipliers:
