Notes on leverage
There are some points to be aware of when using FXGT leverage.
Leverage limits vary depending on issue and margin
As explained above, leverage limits are limited by margin size, account type, and even trading product. Please note that the leverage is not always 1000x in any case.
Changing leverage while holding a position
FXGT has a mechanism in which it is not possible to change the leverage if you already have a position. If you want to make any changes, first close all your positions.
Lot calculation method
How does lot calculation work in FXGT? Margin is involved in holding a lot. The required margin per lot can be calculated as follows.
Trading currency unit × exchange rate ÷ maximum leverage of account = required margin
lot limit
There is a lot limit in FXGT. When trading, it is necessary to enter after considering not only the maximum lot but also the following.
Lot limit for one account
FXGT account types are limited to a total of 200 lots. You can not execute more than the lot limit of the account unit, so do not have more lots. If you have a pre-order, let’s take that into account and don’t exceed 200.
Leverage limit
FXGT is designed so that the account leverage decreases as the number of lots traded increases. Since the leverage limit by the account balance is applied, there is a possibility that the leverage limit will be applied unexpectedly.
Margin maintenance rate
The reason for the lot limit is the margin maintenance rate. The risk of loss cut is very high when trading with a large lot against the margin. If you do not set the lot setting to match the balance, you will get hurt.
