Versus Trade leverage at a glance
- Maximum leverage is up to 1:2000 on forex majors, depending on the instrument and position size.
- Higher leverage lowers the margin you must put up, but increases both potential gains and losses.
- Margin required is roughly the trade size divided by the leverage — at 1:2000 a 1-lot EUR/USD position needs only a small margin.
- Leverage caps step down for larger exposure and for more volatile instruments such as crypto CFDs or single stocks.
- A margin call and automatic stop-out apply when account equity falls too low, closing positions to limit further loss.
- Trading with very high leverage carries a high risk of losing money quickly; use stop-losses and modest position sizes.
