How can I change the leverage on my trading account?

This feature is only available to professional clients. If you're a retail client, then leverage is predetermined and dependent on which instrument (symbol) you trade. Please check the platform for more information. 

Changing your trading account leverage is a powerful tool and one that may need to be changed from time to time based on your trading strategy. It affects the margin required to open a trade or maintain your positions.

To change leverage go to the Account section in your secure client area. Click on the pen icon above the relevant account, and select Change Leverage.
