How Leverage Works at FundedNext

Leverage allows you to control larger positions with a smaller amount of capital. For example, with 1:100 leverage on a Forex account, you can control a $100,000 position with just $1,000 of your own capital.

Calculating Position Size with Leverage

To calculate the position size you can control with leverage:

  1. Determine your account balance
  2. Identify the leverage ratio for your instrument
  3. Multiply your balance by the leverage ratio

Example: With a $10,000 account and 1:100 leverage on Forex, you can control positions up to $1,000,000 (10,000 * 100).

Managing Leverage Effectively

To use leverage responsibly:

  1. Understand Your Risk Tolerance: Only use leverage levels you’re comfortable with
  2. Use Stop Losses: Implement stop-loss orders to limit potential losses
  3. Start Small: Begin with lower leverage and increase as you gain experience
  4. Monitor Positions Closely: Keep track of your open positions and account status
  5. Educate Yourself: Continuously learn about market dynamics and risk management

Leverage Across Different Instruments

FundedNext offers various leverage ratios for different financial instruments:

  1. Forex: Highest leverage, up to 1:100 for most account types
  2. Indices: Moderate leverage, ranging from 1:5 to 1:50
  3. Commodities: Varying leverage, from 1:10 to 1:50
  4. Cryptocurrencies: Conservative leverage at 1:2 across all account types

Impact of Leverage on Trading Strategy

Leverage can significantly influence your trading approach:

  1. Scalping: Higher leverage often used for quick, small-profit trades
  2. Day Trading: Moderate leverage to capture intraday price movements
  3. Swing Trading: Lower leverage for holding positions over several days
  4. Position Trading: Often uses minimal leverage for long-term market views

Leverage and Account Types: Choosing the Right Fit

Consider these factors when selecting an account type based on leverage needs:

  1. Trading Experience: New traders may prefer lower leverage options
  2. Risk Tolerance: Higher leverage suits traders comfortable with increased risk
  3. Trading Style: Match leverage to your preferred trading strategy
  4. Capital Available: Consider your initial investment and sustainable loss capacity

FAQ

The maximum leverage is fixed for each account type and instrument. However, you can always trade with lower effective leverage by adjusting your position sizes.

Leverage amplifies both profits and losses. For example, with 1:100 leverage, a 1% move in the market can result in a 100% profit or loss on your invested capital. Always consider this when determining position sizes.

Not necessarily. While higher leverage can increase potential profits, it also increases risk. The best leverage depends on your trading strategy, experience, and risk tolerance. We recommend starting with lower leverage and increasing it as you gain experience and comfort.
