Maximum Leverage close window

The Initial Margin Required by the Forex Company to make a transaction, also known as "Leverage".

e.g. A Forex Company that offers 2% margin enables you to trade on 50 times leverage.

This means you can open a position if you have 2% (or more) in collateral relative to transaction size.

Or in other words, trade up to 50 times the collateral in the account.
