Foreign Exchange

What is leverage?

Leverage in foreign exchange enables Clients to trade with the least amount of money. Leverage turns every single dollar into a usable ratio. Each dollar in the trading actually defines capital that bears a certain amount of risk. For instance, if you deposited $100 and the leverage ratio is 1:100, every dollar deposited (i.e. margin) is matched with $100 at your disposal. When this $100 is used as margin for trading contracts, in theory you could make maximum transactions of up to $10,000 (100×100).
