FNmarkets offers competitive leverage options to accommodate various trading strategies while ensuring effective risk management. The maximum leverage available for trading CFD instruments is 1:500. However, leverage is not fixed at a single level; it is structured into multiple predefined options to help traders optimise their strategies based on market conditions and individual risk tolerance.
Traders have two ways to set their leverage:
• Custom selection: Set leverage anywhere between 1:10 and 1:500.
• Predefined leverage bands: Choose from predefined leverage options to suit trading needs.
The highest account leverage available on our platform is 1:500. However, even if an account is set to 1:500, not all instruments will have the same leverage. Each instrument has a specific maximum leverage based on its category and risk factors. The table below provides the maximum leverage for each instrument:
