As an experienced trader, I was looking for clear details on the maximum leverage Cathay Futures offers for major forex pairs, but based on the available information, there is no explicit disclosure of precise leverage ratios for forex or futures contracts. The broker is regulated in Taiwan by the Taipei Exchange and primarily focuses on providing margin trading for both domestic and international futures, including access to major exchanges across Asia, Europe, and the Americas. For example, they specify initial margin requirements for products like the Taiwan Stock Index futures and US Treasury bond futures, but there’s no direct mention of leverage ratios as commonly advertised by international forex brokers. From my professional perspective, this suggests a more traditional, exchange-based model where margin requirements are set per instrument, often by the exchanges themselves, rather than offering the very high leverage (such as 1:100 or 1:500) sometimes promoted by offshore brokers. This model is generally safer but means leverage will likely differ depending on the specific asset or contract you trade, echoing standard global futures practices. Given the cautious disclosure on their website and adherence to regulatory standards, I would be careful not to assume that Cathay Futures matches the high-leverage offerings found elsewhere. Instead, I would contact their support directly or carefully review trading terms before making any decisions since leverage plays a crucial role in both risk and opportunity in my trading. This measured approach aligns with my own risk management principles and the regulatory environment Cathay Futures operates in.
