The StocksTrader account uses a margin structure that supports leveraged trading. The maximum leverage you can set on a StocksTrader account is 1:20. However, some instruments have fixed leverage, which means that a predefined leverage applies regardless of your account settings.
For example:
- Currency pairs and metals: fixed at 1:500
- Indices: fixed at 1:100
- Oil: fixed at 1:20
These fixed ratios cannot be changed — even if your account leverage is set to a different value (for example, 1:1).
Leverage depends on the instrument type and trading conditions. For specific details, please refer to the "Contract Specifications" section on the platform.
It is important to note that currency pairs and other CFDs may not be available for trading. Please contact your broker’s customer support to confirm the availability of specific trading instruments.
If you need a different leverage ratio for your account, you will need to open a new account with the desired leverage settings. Please check your account details on the StocksTrader platform for the exact leverage applicable to your trading instruments.
