Based on my experience trading with LINE FX and reviewing the detailed background I found, the maximum leverage allowed on major currency pairs is up to 1:25. I found this leverage set consistently across the 23 currency pairs offered, with no mention of higher or tiered leverage for other asset types. For me, a leverage cap of 1:25 reflects the strict Japanese regulatory environment, specifically under FSA oversight, which generally sets tighter limits compared to offshore or unregulated brokers. This leverage policy is important because it directly impacts both risk and potential reward—higher leverage can amplify both profits and losses, but in my view, the 1:25 ratio represents a more measured and safer approach, especially for retail traders. I always remind myself that while some brokers advertise much higher leverage, regulatory constraints like those at LINE FX are implemented for trader protection. As far as I can see, there isn’t a distinction in leverage limits for different assets—LINE FX, being a FX-specialized platform in Japan, doesn’t appear to offer CFDs or riskier instruments with varied leverage. Overall, I found LINE FX’s leverage offering to be straightforward and consistent, in line with its regulated, retail-focused business model.
