Leverage Information
Leverage ensures that you can open a trade with a much larger value with only a small investment.
It is the ratio between the amount of money you have and the amount of money you can trade.
*Please note that the leverages and margin requirements shown in the table below are for Retail Clients.
| Leverage per Asset | Maximum Leverage | Margin Percentage |
