Leverage Double Edge Table

Leverage marketing typically shows one side of a symmetric identity: a favourable price move of m% becomes a return of (m% * L) on the margin actually committed, where L is the leverage ratio - a striking number when m% is small and L is large. The exact same identity applies with the sign flipped, and that half is usually left out: an adverse move of the same size produces an equally large loss on margin, and once that loss reaches -100% the margin is not just damaged, it is gone. This script never shows one side without the other. It builds a fixed grid of price-move percentages (from -20% to +20%) against a fixed set of leverage levels (1:10 through 1:500) and prints every cell, flagging any cell where the loss side reaches -100% or worse as RUIN rather than printing a number that implies the position still exists. It then repeats the same calculation once more using the account's own real leverage (read from AccountLeverage(), not assumed) against a chosen example equity, so the abstract grid connects to a number a trader can actually check against their own statement rather than staying purely theoretical. Notes and limitations - This is a pure arithmetic table (move% * leverage), not a margin calculator against a specific symbol, spread, or swap - it deliberately isolates the leverage effect from everything else that also affects a real position's outcome. - The grid does not account for margin calls or stop-outs that a broker would trigger BEFORE the loss actually reaches -100% - most accounts are closed out earlier than pure ruin, which this table does not model since stop-out percentages vary by broker. - Leverage levels and move percentages are fixed arrays chosen to cover a representative range, not user-configurable in this version, to keep the table's shape consistent and easy to read at a glance.
