Unlimited leverage is the highest available leverage setting for all trading account types. It is not available by default as it is recommended for experienced traders.
We recommend understanding leverage and leverage requirements before trading with unlimited leverage.
As unlimited leverage carries higher risks of loss, the following prerequisites are required for real trading accounts:
- The trading account must have funds (equity) of less than 5,000 USD.
- The trader must close at least 10 orders (excluding pending orders) with a minimum value of 5 lots (or 500 cent lots) across all real trading accounts in their Personal Area (PA).
For demo trading accounts, you can enable unlimited leverage option at any time. However, the actual unlimited leverage will only be applied if your account equity is less than 5,000 USD (equity amount of 4999.99 USD or less). If your equity exceeds 5,000 USD, your actual leverage will automatically fluctuate and be limited according to our standard equity ranges.
For real trading accounts, the option to set unlimited leverage will only appear in the leverage settings once the trading volume and order criteria are met. For demo accounts, the option is always visible and selectable, though actual leverage remains subject to the 5,000 USD equity limit. Read more on how to change your leverage on your trading account.
