Having carefully reviewed the available details on Guosen Securities (HK), I noticed that precise maximum leverage figures for major forex pairs are not explicitly disclosed. From my perspective as an experienced trader, this calls for particular caution. Guosen Securities (HK) is primarily regulated by the Hong Kong SFC and focuses heavily on securities, futures, asset management, and investment banking, rather than positioning itself as a forex-first broker. Traditionally, institutions under SFC oversight are held to more conservative leverage caps, especially for retail trading, but the actual leverage can fluctuate significantly based on both the asset class and client’s profile. Without concrete leverage numbers published for spot FX on their platform, and given their operational emphasis on securities and futures, I would not assume Guosen Securities (HK) offers the high leverage (often up to 1:500) that some specialized forex brokers provide. Typically in Hong Kong, leverage for major forex pairs offered to retail clients rarely exceeds 1:20 to 1:50, due to regulatory requirements and client protection measures. For other assets such as stocks or derivatives, leverage is typically even more restricted or subject to SFC-mandated margin requirements. In my own approach, I always recommend directly confirming current leverage policies with any broker’s official representatives before committing any funds. Since there have also been flagged concerns about withdrawals and regulatory reprimands against Guosen Securities (HK), I personally would exercise heightened due diligence. Conservative leverage policies may benefit those prioritizing risk management, but the lack of transparency in published details for forex products is a significant factor in my cautious assessment.
