How does leverage change with account equity?

2 min read Updated 1 day ago

Trading Pro applies a dynamic leverage system, where the maximum leverage available on an account is automatically adjusted based on the account’s equity.

When your account equity reaches a higher tier, the leverage will be reduced automatically. If your equity later falls into a lower tier, the leverage will remain unchanged unless you manually request a leverage change through the Client Portal.

Trading Pro may change the leverage of a trading account when an open position does not comply with the applicable leverage requirements. The admissible leverage is determined based on the account's equity as follows:

Dynamic Leverage Tiers

Leverage is determined by your account equity as follows:

  • $0 – $500: Leverage up to 1:2000

  • $501 – $5,000: Leverage up to 1:1000

  • $5,001 – $10,000: Leverage up to 1:500

  • $10,001 – $50,000: Leverage up to 1:300

  • $50,001 – $100,000: Leverage up to 1:200

  • $100,001 – $2,000,000: Leverage up to 1:100

Example

A client deposits $6,000 and trades with a leverage of 1:500. After profitable trading, the account equity increases to $12,000, and the leverage is automatically reduced to 1:300.

If the equity later falls below $10,000, the leverage will remain at 1:300 unless the client submits a leverage change request via the Client Portal.

This dynamic leverage structure is designed to encourage responsible trading and help manage risk as account equity grows.
