What is Leverage?

  • When it comes to trading CFDs on forex and other financial instruments, leverage is considered a fundamental tool. It gives you the chance to use small capital to strike a deal that needs much greater capital

  • This way, the leverage enables you to loan out money from a trading broker so as to open larger trades

  • For example, if your account balance is only USD 100, when you use a leverage of 1:1000, your account purchasing power will become USD 100,000

  • That’s to say, the leverage allows you to snowball the purchasing power of your account balance in order to enter into larger trades with ease

  • At the same time, however, leverage is considered a very dangerous instrument. Although it gives you the chance to blow up your profits, this also means that if you are not cautious enough regarding how to use your liquidity and how to invest it, leverage may result in doubled losses

OW Markets brings you a wide variety of revolutionary trading tools.

We provide you with dynamic leverage of up to 1:1000, which automatically adapts and adjusts based on your trading volumes, empowering you to maximize your trading potential. Dynamic leverage is applied differently across each financial instrument. Here is a simplified explanation of how dynamic leverage adjusts to trading volumes and the difference between dynamic and traditional leverage.

Example

What is the required margin to open 26 standard lots of the EUR/USD pair using dynamic leverage compared to a regular account with a leverage of 1:200?

The market price of EUR/USD = 1.1022 (One standard contract equals 100,000 units)

Traditional leverage usually relies on a single pattern; it enables you to use a fixed leverage regardless of the varying sizes of your trades, which sometimes limits your ability to open more positions.

26 Lots @ 200 Leverage

Margin Required Formula:

Required Margin = Number of Lots * Contract Size * Market Price / Leverage

26 * 100,000 * 1.1022 /200 = 14,328

Required Margin = $14,328

So, if your account balance is $30,000, the required margin represents 47.76% of your account due to the size of the open lots and the trading tool.

It would cost you $14,324 to open 26 Lot

26 Lots with Dynamic Leverage would be split between:

5 Lot @ leverage 1000 = $551

20 Lot @ leverage 400 = $5,511

1 Lot @ leverage 200 = $551

Required Margin = $6,613

Dynamic Leverage saved you $7,715

So, if your account balance is $30,000, the required margin represents 25.72 % of your account due to the size of the open lots and the trading tool.

Once you enter the markets, Dynamic Leverage automatically adjusts your leverage and margin based on your open position.

It would cost you $6,613 to open 26 Lot
