For clients registered under our EU-regulated entity, the maximum trading leverage is limited to 1:30 in line with ESMA regulations. This limit is designed to help protect retail traders by reducing excessive risk exposure.
What Does 1:30 Leverage Mean?
Leverage of 1:30 means you can trade positions up to 30 times the size of your account balance. For example, if you have €1,000 in your account, the maximum trade exposure allowed is €30,000.
This applies across major CFD instruments, including Forex, Indices, Metals, Energies, and others (instrument-specific margin requirements may vary).
Why Is Leverage Limited for EU Clients?
Under ESMA rules, leverage caps are applied to retail traders to help:
Limit excessive risk
Protect client funds
Reduce the chance of large unexpected losses
These rules apply to all EU-regulated brokers.
Why Do I Sometimes See Leverage Displayed as 1:100 on the Platform?
In some cases, the trading platform may display a higher leverage value (e.g. 1:100) when your account is created.
However, your actual trading conditions still remain limited to 1:30.
This is because leverage control is applied through margin requirements rather than the number displayed in the platform. So even if the platform shows 1:100, the effective trading leverage you can use is still 1:30, in line with EU regulations.
This ensures:
✔ Full regulatory compliance
✔ Controlled and transparent risk
✔ Fair trading conditions for all EU clients
