At Eurotrader, we provide flexible leverage options designed to accommodate different trading styles, asset classes, and risk preferences. With leverage available up to 1:1000, traders can maximize their market exposure while maintaining efficient capital management. However, leverage availability depends on account type, asset class, and regulatory restrictions.
Leverage breakdown by Asset Class
🔹Forex – Up to 1:1000 on major and minor currency pairs (for eligible account types). High leverage allows traders to control larger positions with less capital, though it also increases risk.
🔹Indices – Typically up to 1:200, as these assets can experience significant volatility.
🔹Commodities – Assets like gold and oil generally offer leverage from 1:200 to 1:500, depending on the specific commodity and market conditions.
🔹Cryptocurrencies – Given the high volatility of crypto assets, leverage is more conservative, usually capped at 1:20 to help manage risk effectively.
🔹Shares (CFDs) – Share CFDs generally have the lowest leverage, often 1:20 or lower, depending on market liquidity and volatility.
Leverage for European Clients & Professional Traders
For traders operating under European regulatory frameworks, leverage is subject to stricter limits:
- Retail clients are typically restricted to a maximum of 1:30 on major forex pairs and even lower for other asset classes.
- However, professional clients can access significantly higher leverage — up to 1:500, depending on their trading experience and qualification criteria.
If you’re a European trader looking to increase your leverage, you may be eligible to apply for a Professional Account, which grants access to higher leverage limits and other exclusive benefits.
