One of the most common tools in the trading world, leverage allows you to invest much more in your trades, with relatively small deposit amounts, (which is your margin).
What is leverage in forex? Think about it as a loan. If you have capital of $1,000 and borrow $100 for every dollar from your broker, you will have $100,000 to trade with. So now, if the EUR/USD rate moves 100 pips, from 1.1273 to 1.1373, you will have $100,000 to open a deal, in place of $1,000. This means that you can trade much larger lots and increase your exposure to the markets.
RISK WARNING: Leverage also comes with suspential risk, so it is important to understand the risks that comes with leverage before trading.
Trade with up to 500:1 Leverage on FX Pairs
It is important to remember, however, that leverage magnifies both your profit and your loss potential. So, make sure that when you choose a leverage ratio, regardless of the assets you trade, forex, equity, commodities, indices, you first assess your risk tolerance.
FP Markets offers leverage of up to 500:1 on positions in FX and precious metal CFDs, along with stop losses, so that you can make the most of price movements, while ensuring robust risk management measures.
Example: Trader A
Example: Trader A has $5000 USD – If Trader A has an account leverage of 10:1 and they wish to use $1000 on one trade as margin, they will have exposure of $10,000 in base currency ($1000) = 10 x $1000 = $10,000 (trade value).
Example: Trader B
Example: Trader B has $5000 USD – If Trader B has an account leverage of 100:1 and they wish to use $1000 on one trade as margin, they will have exposure of $100,000 in base currency ($1000) = 100 x $1000 = $100,000 (trade value).
