Leverage allows traders to execute orders with amounts much larger than their initial deposits and generate substantial profits, even with small investments. Margin is the amount of money you must have in your account to open and maintain a leveraged trade. It depends on the size of your trade (i.e. the number of lots you wish to trade) and the leverage specified for the instrument. The higher the leverage you use, the lower the margin you will need to trade.
For Forex instruments, we offer a wide range of leverage from 1:1 to 1:3000. You can change it at any time in your Control Panel. Depending on the sum of equity, EarnStock can automatically adjust the leverage for open and re-opened positions based on these limitations:
The amount of equity in the client’s trading account (USD or EUR) | Leverage |
---|---|
0–199 | 1:3000 |
200–1999 | 1:2000 |
2000–4999 | 1:1000 |
5000 – 29,999 | 1:500 |
30,000 – 149,999 | 1:200 |
150,000 or more | 1:100 |
1:50 | |
1:25 | |
1:10 | |
1:5 | |
1:1 |
The equity amount is shown as available funds in the Control Panel. You can check this line in the account settings to know the current amount of equity in the trading account and adjust your leverage limits accordingly.
