Understanding Dynamic Leverage
Dynamic leverage is a mechanism that helps you manage risk better when trading. It adjusts leverage in real-time based on the size of your positions.
For small positions, leverage increases for better use of your margin and potentially bigger returns.
For larger positions, leverage decreases, limiting your exposure and reducing risks.
This allows your trading strategy to remain flexible, adapt to market changes while making the most of market opportunities.
Where You Can Use Dynamic Leverage
Dynamic leverage is available across all account types – Standard and VIP, and is applicable to Forex pairs only.

| 10 | 1:2500, 1:1000 & 1:500 | (3 x 100,000 / 2500) + (6 x 100,000 / 1000) + (1 x 100,000 / 500) = 120 + 600 + 200 | $920 USD |
