Latency 

Latency is the delay between the time you send an order to the time it is received by the server. The further your message must travel, the longer it takes to get there, so the higher the latency. In trading, higher latency may result in higher slippage. 

Leverage 

Leverage allows traders to gain a large exposure with a relatively small outlay. This has the effect of amplifying profit or loss. A leverage of 1:100 means that to open and maintain a position the necessary margin is one hundred times less than the transaction size.
