FxPro uses a dynamic forex leverage model on the MT4, MT5 and cTrader platforms which automatically adapts to the clients trading positions. As the volume per Instrument of a client increases the maximum leverage offered decreases accordingly; as per the following table.
This is done per trading instrument; thus if a client has positions open across multiple instruments the leverage will be calculated separately on each forex symbol. For example, if a trader has 300 lots Buy on USDJPY and then starts trading EURUSD, his/her margin requirement for EURUSD will not be affected by the existing USDJPY positions.
The sum of the positions is calculated in the following way. Consider a trader has 300 lots Buy and 200 Lots Sell. To calculate the required margin, one would take the side with the largest volume (sum). In this example, the side with the largest exposure is the 300 Buy, and as such, 300 would be the value used in calculating the required margin. Furthermore, a trader with 6 positions of 50 lots Buy (or Sell), and a trader of a single position of 300 lots Buy (or Sell), would require the same margin; given their accounts have identical leverage settings.
| Open Lots | Maximum Leverage |
|---|---|
| 0-100 | Max 1:500 |
| 100-200 | Max 1:200 |
| 200-300 | Max 1:100 |
| 300-500 | Max 1:50 |
| 500+ | Max 1:33 |
Note: Maximum leverage for ZAR crosses is 1:100, for CNH, ILS, THB & RUB crosses is 1:50, and for DKK, CZK, HKD, TRY & SGD crosses is 1:20.
Client Account Leverage – 1:30
Consider a EUR account with 5 Buy (or Sell) lots EURUSD.
| Lots | Maximum Leverage | Applicable Leverage | Margin |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 1:30 | 1:30 | 5 (Lots) * 100,000 / 30 (leverage) = 16,666.67 EUR |
| Total Required Margin: 16,666.67 EUR |
FxPro uses a dynamic leverage model on the MT4, MT5 and cTrader platforms for trading precious metals, which automatically adapts to clients' trading positions. As the trading volume per Instrument of a client increases, the maximum leverage offered decreases accordingly; as per the following table.
This is done per Trading Instrument, so if a client has positions open across multiple Instruments, the leverage will be calculated separately on each symbol. For example, if a trader has a position in Silver and then starts trading Gold, his/her margin requirement for Gold will not be affected by the existing Silver positions.
