How Does Dynamic Leverage Work?

<!doctype html>

 

Leverage Information

OneRoyal uses dynamic leverage for various financial instruments (FX majors, FX minors, metals, indices, oil) to maximise your trading potential.

FX Majors: 1:1,000
FX Minors: 1:500
Metals: 1:500
Indices: 1:200
Oil: 1:100

Dynamic Leverage

Dynamic leverage model allows for the leverage to adapt based on your trading positions.
Dynamic leverage is applied on a per instrument basis, where the leverage will automatically decrease as your trading volume increases.
This allows traders to maximise their trading potential while ensuring responsible risk management strategies remain in place.
For example, if you trade 5 lots on EURUSD and 5 lots on GBPUSD, then the leverage for both positions will remain at 1:1000.
If however, you trade 10 lots on EURUSD, then the first 3 lots will be calculated with a leverage of 1:1000 while the remaining lots will be calculated with the next tiers.
