Leverage FAQ

1. What is leverage?

Leverage is a financial tool that allows investors to use a small amount of capital as margin to control a larger position in trading. For example, for a trade equivalent to $100,000 with 500x leverage, only $100,000 / 500 = $200 is required to open the position. The level of leverage directly determines the amount of margin required.

2. What is the initial leverage?

EBC does not set a fixed initial leverage. When opening an account, clients can choose a leverage ratio within the range provided by the platform.

3. Is the maximum leverage the same for all products?

The maximum leverage varies depending on the trading product. For instance, EUR/USD and gold typically offer up to 500x leverage, while exotic currency pairs like USD/ZAR may only have 50x leverage.
