The margin requirement on your account is linked to the leverage you use. As such, any change in leverage will affect your margin requirements. Factors such as spreads may also fluctuate depending on market conditions, and similarly, the available leverage can vary under certain conditions:
| Equity, USD | Maximum Leverage |
|---|---|
| 0 – 999 | 1:3000 |
| 1,000 – 4,999 | 1:2000 |
| 5,000 – 39,999 | 1:1000 |
| 40,000 or more | 1:500 |
Note: Trading instruments may have different maximum leverage according to their specifications.
