INFINOX offers a range of leverage options, with a maximum of 1:30 for retail clients regulated by the FCA, in line with the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) regulations. This limit is set to protect retail traders from excessive risk, particularly in volatile markets like forex. Traders in the UK and EU are therefore restricted to using a leverage of 1:30, meaning for every £1 in their account, they can control up to £30 in the market. While this reduces the risk of large losses, it also limits the ability to trade larger positions with a small amount of capital. For traders outside the FCA’s jurisdiction, such as those in offshore regions like the Bahamas, INFINOX offers much higher leverage, up to 1:1000. This leverage allows traders to control much larger positions with a smaller margin deposit. For example, with 1:1000 leverage, a trader can control £100,000 with just £100 in their account. This presents a high-risk, high-reward opportunity, and is generally suited to more experienced traders who understand the implications of using high leverage. From my perspective, leverage is a double-edged sword. While high leverage can amplify profits, it can equally increase the potential for significant losses. I personally prefer to trade with lower leverage to ensure I have more control over my trades and to avoid risking too much of my capital. High leverage, especially at levels like 1:1000, should be used with extreme caution. Traders must have a solid risk management strategy in place, including stop-loss orders and appropriate position sizes, to minimize potential losses. It’s important to always consider your risk tolerance and trading style when selecting leverage.
