> leverage out of range

**Severity** Error

`leverage` must lie between 1 and 125. Values below 1 are not leverage, and values above 125 exceed what any supported venue offers. Leverage determines the margin used per position and, with `marginCall = true`, where the emulator liquidates.

Choose a value from 1.0 to 125.0.

## Failing example

```flowscope
script "Degen mode"
strategy (
  initialCapital = 1_000.0
  leverage = 200.0
)
data chart = subscribe(data.ohlcv)
on chart.close {
  if chart.close > chart.open {
    strategy.entry("Long", direction.long)
  }
}
```

## Fixed example

```flowscope
script "Degen mode"
strategy (
  initialCapital = 1_000.0
  leverage = 20.0
)
data chart = subscribe(data.ohlcv)
on chart.close {
  if chart.close > chart.open {
    strategy.entry("Long", direction.long)
  }
}
```
