## Set leverage to use
Different strategies and risk profiles will require different levels of leverage.
While you could configure one static leverage value - freqtrade offers you the flexibility to adjust this via [strategy leverage callback](strategy-callbacks.md#leverage-callback) - which allows you to use different leverages by pair, or based on some other factor benefitting your strategy result.
