The foreign exchange market offers the availability to profit from a large position in the market for a small upfront cost, known as the initial margin. This is called leverage. The maximum leverage in the share market is usually 1:20, which means your contract is for 20 times the initial margin (deposit) you paid. In the foreign exchange market leverage is a ratio of at least 1:50 but is usually 1:100. We offer different levels of leverage to match needs and trading strategies of every trader. We offer leverage levels starting from 1:100 and ranging up to 1:500. In order to buy $10,000, for example, you only have to pay $200 to enter the trade, because you effectively borrow the remainder, or $9,800 considering you’ve availed the least leverage.
