Leverage, explained and capped

Leverage lets you open a larger position with a smaller deposit. It magnifies both profits and losses — which is why retail limits exist.

The deposit needed to open a position. At 1:30 leverage, a $30,000 position needs $1,000 margin.

If your equity falls to 100% of required margin we'll alert you. At 50%, positions start closing automatically.

Retail clients can never lose more than their account balance.
