How to Adjust Your Trading Account Leverage and Understand Compliance Restrictions
Overview of Trading Account Leverage
Leverage is a key feature in trading that allows you to control a larger position using a smaller amount of capital. However, maximum leverage settings are subject to platform capabilities and compliance requirements.
Changing Your Leverage in the Client Portal
If you would like to adjust your trading account leverage, here are the steps to do so within the FXTRADING.com client portal:
Log in to your client portal.
Locate the trading account you wish to adjust.
Click the three-dot menu next to the selected account.
Select “Change Maximum Leverage.”
Choose your desired leverage (e.g., 1:2000) from the dropdown menu. If not listed, select 'Custom' and specify your preferred ratio.
Click "Continue" and then "Confirm" to apply the changes.
Important Notes:
Forex currency pairs are eligible for maximum leverage of up to 1:2000.
Gold (XAU) instruments are capped at a maximum leverage of 1:500.
Your actual usable leverage may vary depending on your account equity and specific margin requirements as displayed in your client portal.
Compliance Restrictions on Leverage Adjustments
In certain cases, compliance requirements may prohibit adjustments to specific leverage ratios, such as 1:2000. These restrictions are part of FXTRADING.com's compliance framework to ensure safe and responsible trading. If you are unable to apply your desired leverage, it may be due to factors such as:
Regulatory constraints in your region.
Risk management policies for specific trading instruments or accounts.
Conclusion
Changing your leverage settings on FXTRADING.com is straightforward through the client portal. However, compliance and regulatory requirements may place certain restrictions on leverage adjustments for specific instruments or accounts. Ensure that you are aware of these guidelines to trade within the platform's rules and policies.
