When using deposit bonus
FBS limits leverage to a maximum of 500x when using a deposit bonus. Maximum leverage of 3000x and deposit bonus cannot be used together.
political economy events
The market fluctuates greatly when there are important economic indicators, such as policy interest rates or the unemployment rate. At this time, leverage will be temporarily limited. Leverage is similarly severely limited when political events occur.

How to check leverage
You can check by logging in to your account page and going to “Account Settings” for the account you want to check. Please note that you cannot check this with a trading tool. You can check the latest leverage and transaction size individually. For beginners, we recommend keeping it as low as possible, so you can make a good investment from just $1 in Japan, so start with a low one. You can start with scalping or a standard account.
How to change leverage
You can change the leverage by logging in to your account page and changing the “Leverage” for the account you want to change. However, there are different upper limits depending on the account type, content (stock) category, and type you select, so please be careful how you use it. Depending on the stock in question, there may be a lot of liquidity. Be careful if you are trading multiple stocks. If you are a professional, you will at least consider the risks involved. However, since they are licensed by the Financial Services Agency, they use zero cuts, so it is safe.
Number of positions held
There is no leverage limit based on the number of positions held. Also, since it is not affected by the size of the margin, there is no leverage limit even if you have unrealized losses. FBS allows you to hold up to 200 positions. For reference, you can check the details and overview in advance from the home page, so check it out. Take advantage of the unlimited 1000x leverage method to start with a small amount of capital and gradually increase it.
Loss cut criteria
Below are the margin call levels and stop loss application levels for each account type at FBS. Stop loss is a mechanism for forced settlement. When the following percentage of the margin is reached, the account will be forced to settle. A margin call is like a warning and does not pose any risk, but it is a signal that the stop loss is approaching. Generally, the account will be forced to settle at the end. This is something you should definitely pay attention to in financial services. Be sure to keep an eye on economic indicators in the news.
| Loss Cut | Margin Call | |
| Standard | 40% | 20% |
| Cent | 40% | 20% |
| Pro | 40% | 20% |
What is margin call?
A margin call is a warning that occurs when unrealized losses increase significantly. Traders are not subject to any restrictions when this warning occurs. However, it means that the loss cut is approaching, so it is time to decide whether to cut the loss or add funds.
What is loss cut?
Stopout means forced liquidation. This is a measure to prevent a total loss by performing forced settlement when a certain percentage of the margin is reached. Traders cannot prevent this, they have no choice but to accept it. Therefore, traders must cut their losses or add funds before this happens.
What is the zero cut system?
Zero cut is an emergency measure in which FBS will compensate for the excess amount in the event of a negative amount exceeding the deposit amount. What this means is that there is no possibility of the trader incurring any debt. In order for the zero cut to be activated, the margin must be negative.
Zero cut activation order
The order in which zero cuts are triggered is margin call ⇒ stop loss ⇒ zero cut. The most important thing for traders is to take measures to prevent stop loss first. The decision to stop loss or to put in capital will depend on the market. If the market continues to move too severely against the trend, it is safe to stop loss, and if it looks like it is about to reverse, it is safe to add capital. Some overseas FX markets offer leverage of up to 5,000 times. Keep it as low as possible at first.
