Leverage is a fundamental concept that has transformed the landscape of trading. It allows traders to boost their buying power with a relatively smaller amount of capital. It is like the concept of a loan and leverage is the borrowed capital. Leverage is usually in expressed in ratios such as 1:200, which means that your buying power is increased by 200 times.
With leverage, it allows traders to open orders of much larger volumes than they would otherwise be able to. While leverage can amplify traders’ potential profits, it can also amplify losses.
At DLS Markets, we offer different leverage options for different account types to suit our clients’ trading and investment needs* with flexible leverage options of up to 1:1000** on our ECN Account for currency pairs and Gold.
