Dynamic Leverage is a system where the leverage applied to your trading account adjusts automatically based on your trading exposure.
Unlike fixed leverage, which stays the same at all times, Dynamic Leverage changes in real time to help manage risk more effectively.
How Dynamic Leverage Works
With Dynamic Leverage, leverage is not constant. It adjusts automatically depending on factors such as the size of your open positions and your overall exposure.
In simple terms:
Smaller trades usually allow higher leverage
Larger trades usually receive lower leverage
The adjustment happens automatically, without any manual action required
As your position size increases, leverage is gradually reduced to help limit risk and protect your account.
Example of Dynamic Leverage
You are trading EUR/USD.
Trade 1: Small Position
Trade size: 0.10 lots
Leverage applied: 1:500
Margin required: Low
This allows you to open a small trade using less margin.
Trade 2: Larger Position
Trade size: 2.00 lots
Leverage applied: 1:200
Margin required: Higher
As the trade size increases, leverage is reduced automatically to help control risk.
You do not need to change anything manually. The system adjusts leverage for you.
