Margin and Leverage
Make more with a powerful leverage
Leverage enables traders to execute orders with amounts significantly exceeding their initial deposits and to generate substantial profits, even with small investments.
Margin is the amount of money you must have in your account to open and maintain a leveraged trade. It depends on the size of your trade (i.e., the number of lots you want to trade) and the leverage specified for the instrument.
The higher the leverage you use, the smaller the margin you will need to trade!

For Forex instruments, we provide a wide range of leverages from 1:1 to 1:3000. You can change it at any time in your Trader Area. Depending on the sum of equity, FBS may automatically adjust leverage for open and reopened positions based on these limitations:
