What is a multiplier (leverage)?
A multiplier (leverage) is a coefficient that increases the trading volume. You can choose how many times to increase the trading volume without changing the amount of your personal funds used in trading.
For example, a multiplier of x100 means that the funds used for trading are multiplied by 100. This means that for a trade of $1,000, you only need $10 of your own funds (one hundredth). The rest is provided by the Company.
There is a range of allowed multipliers for each instrument. You can find these on the Instrument Specifications page.
How does increasing trading volume affect trades?
Larger trading volumes can result in faster profits or losses even on small price movements. This is because the overall price change is applied to the entire trading volume.
Trading volume affects the amount of total commissions and spreads.
Since spreads can be significant on large volume trades, this can affect your initial financial results. It is important to carefully evaluate the amount of spreads and commissions before starting trading, especially for large volume transactions.
How to adjust the multiplier?
When opening a new trade, enter or select the desired number in the "Multiplier" field.

In the examples above, your personal funds used for trading are $100 and the multiplier is x200. So, the final trading volume will be: $100 × 200 = $20,000.
The amount of your personal funds involved in the process is one two-hundredth of the total amount. The rest is provided by us.
Please note: If necessary, you can also change the multiplier on an open trade.
