Leverage and Margin Trading

Leverage allows you to control larger positions with less capital. Our company offers leverage up to 1:200 for Nigerian traders. Leverage varies by instrument and account type. Higher leverage increases both potential gains and risk. Margin requirements are clearly displayed on the platform.

For major forex pairs, maximum leverage is 1:200. For minor pairs, leverage goes up to 1:100. Indices and commodities have leverage up to 1:50. Shares and futures are limited to 1:20. These limits protect traders from excessive risk.

Margin is calculated automatically by the platform. The formula is (lot size × contract size × price) / leverage. You can monitor margin levels in the terminal window. A margin call occurs when equity falls below 50% of used margin. Stop out happens at 20% of used margin.

Available leverage tiers for Nigerian clients.

• Major forex pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY): 1:200
• Minor forex pairs (EUR/GBP, AUD/CAD, NZD/JPY): 1:100
• Indices (S&P 500, FTSE 100, Nikkei 225): 1:50
• Commodities (gold, silver, crude oil): 1:50
• Shares and futures (AAPL, TSLA, ES): 1:20

You can adjust leverage in the account settings. Lower leverage reduces risk of margin calls. We recommend conservative leverage for beginners. Always calculate margin before opening a trade. Our platform includes a built-in margin calculator.
