Customise Leverage to Your Needs

Trading leverage is not always better. You can customise the leverage ratio in your trading account, adjusting it at will between 100:1 and 500:1. Why isn’t higher leverage always better? While it can create more trading opportunities, it also increases trading risks. If you are unsure how to use trading leverage, continue reading below to learn more, or contact our customer support team directly.

What is Leverage?

Leverage refers to using a small amount of money to control a much larger investment. Increasing leverage can reduce your trading margin, enabling you to execute more transactions.

Why is Using Leverage Risky?

Leverage can enhance your capital utilisation and provide more trading opportunities. However, when you use leverage to hold more positions, the impact of price fluctuations on your profits also increases. By multiplying the trade amounts, you can potentially increase your profits even during small market fluctuations. Nonetheless, leveraged trading should be paired with risk awareness and strict money management to minimise the possibility of large losses due to unexpected market changes.

Always Combine Leverage with Risk Management

If you have a sound risk management strategy, using leverage appropriately can be advantageous. Risk management tools include margin calls, margin liquidation levels, take-profit and stop-loss orders, and position sizing. You can learn more about risk management at the EC Markets Trading Academy.
