Since March 22, 2021, FXTRADING.com has implemented a dynamic leverage system for forex and gold trading. This system automatically adjusts your leverage based on your account equity to help manage risk effectively.
Introduction
How Dynamic Leverage Works
Forex (FX) Dynamic Leverage - Reduction Only
Your leverage adjusts automatically based on your account equity:
Client's Equity (per Account) | Leverage - Reduction ONLY |
0 - 300.00* | 2000:1 |
300.01 - 1,000.00* | 1000:1 |
1,000.01 - 50,000.00* | 500:1 |
50,000.01 - 100,000.00* | 400:1 |
100,000.01 - 200,000.00* | 300:1 |
200,000.01 - 300,000.00* | 200:1 |
300,000.01 and above* | 100:1 |
Gold Dynamic Leverage - Reduction Only

Understanding Equity Calculation
Equity = Account Balance + Floating Profit/Loss on Open Positions
Important: After adjusting leverage settings, please re-login to your MT4/MT5 trading terminal to ensure margin parameters update correctly.
Risk Warnings
Leverage Reduction Risk: When your equity increases and leverage automatically reduces, your margin requirements will increase. If your margin level falls below 50%, positions may be liquidated.
Currency Considerations: All amounts listed above are in USD. If your trading account uses a different base currency (such as GBP or EUR), the thresholds will adjust according to real-time exchange rates against USD.
High Leverage Caution: While higher leverage can amplify profits, it equally magnifies potential losses. Always consider your trading experience, risk tolerance, and account size when selecting leverage levels.
Separate temporary leverage policy from 1 September 2026
The temporary leverage policy takes effect on 1 September 2026 at 00:00 (GMT+3). Temporary limits are separate from normal dynamic leverage and the existing pre-close policy.
It covers all four types of trading accounts on MT4 and MT5, as well as Social Trading Signal accounts and Funds Management accounts. Accounts under the ASIC entity are excluded from this policy.
For designated news, the standard window is 15 minutes before to 15 minutes after release: new XAUUSD/XAUEUR positions have a maximum of 1:200; XAGUSD remains at 1:100. Normal Gold and Silver product maximums remain 1:500 and 1:100 respectively.
Only new positions opened in the restriction window are covered; this restriction does not change margin for positions opened beforehand. Other lower applicable limits still apply. This does not replace normal dynamic leverage or the separate pre-close rules.
Subject to applicable law and account terms, FXTRADING.com may make temporary changes at any time its Trading Team considers necessary. Check the latest applicable official notice and current conditions; do not infer an active restriction or automatic restoration from an account's displayed maximum.
Additional Notes
FXTRADING.com reserves the right to adjust leverage limits at any time.
Using maximum leverage at all times is not recommended for sound risk management.
Please carefully consider how leverage levels impact your trading strategy.
