This is an article about leverage at HotForex.

HotForex offers high leverage trading up to 1000x. Although HotForex offers high leverage trading, not all products can be traded at 1000x.

In addition, leverage is automatically limited by certain conditions.

In this article, I will explain what leverage is for beginners, the maximum leverage and leverage limits of HotForex, as well as how to operate with less risk.

What you can learn in this article;
  • What is the leverage?
  • What is the maximum leverage of HotForex?
  • Leverage limits of HotForex
  • How to Change Leverage

What is Leverage?

Leverage means the principle of leverage.

Using the principle of leverage, you can lift a large stone with a small power.

In the forex world, it refers to a system that allows you to make large trades with a small amount of margin (money).

Leverage is often expressed as “100 times”, “100x” or “1:100”.

In the case of 100 times leverage, it is possible to trade 100 times the amount of margin.

If your margin is $100, you can trade $10,000.
A $100,000 margin allows you to trade $10,000, and a $100,000 margin allows you to trade $10,000,000.

Differences in Required Margin due to differences in leverage

The Required Margin can be calculated using the following formula

Required Margin = Number of lots × Market price ÷ Leverage 

Let’s calculate exactly how much the required margin changes with different leverage.

For example, let’s assume the following trade

Currency pair: EURUSD
Number of trades: 1 lot (=100,000 currency)
Market price: 1 EURO = 1.200 USD

Leverage 1:1

100,000 EUR × 1.200 ÷ 1 = 120,000 USD

Leverage 1:100

100,000 EUR × 1.200 ÷ 100 = 1,200 USD

Leverage 1:500

100,000 EUR × 1.200 ÷ 500 = 240 USD

Leverage 1:1000

100,000 EUR × 1.200 ÷ 1000 = 120 USD

Thus, if you take advantage of HotForex’s maximum 1000x leverage, you can trade 100,000 Euros for only $120.

Trading Leverage at HotForex

HotForex maximum leverage is 1000x, but actually not all instruments can be traded at 1000x.

At HotForex, the maximum leverage varies depending on the account type.

As shown below, only the MICRO account has a maximum leverage of 1000x.

Restricted by account balance

The maximum leverage at HotForex depends on your account balance.

If the account balance exceeds $300,000, the maximum leverage is limited to 75x.

However, if you are a general trader, it is unlikely that your account balance will exceed $300,000, so you don’t need to worry about this.

Recommended operation

Especially in the world of forex, people focus on the high leverage, but the higher leverage is not the better.

Leverage is a double-edged sword.

If you trade a product with high volatility with full leverage, a small price reversal will result in an immediate loss.

This is not a recommendation, but rather a principle of leveraged trading.

  • Follow strictly the money management rules
  • Understand the margin requirements and the amount per pips
  • Adjust the number of lots and leverage

When you increase the leverage, the amount of fluctuation per pips becomes larger.

It is necessary to decide beforehand how much you can bear in case the price moves against your expectations. After properly planning your trading strategy, prepare sufficient funds and decide on the number of lots to order.

At this time, you can also change the leverage in advance to reduce the risk of loss cutting in case of unexpected price movements.

This means that rather than operating with 1000 times leverage, you can reduce the risk to one tenth by using 100 times leverage.

How to Change Leverage at HotForex
