Crossing a level threshold? Leverage updates automatically on the NEXT position you open.
High leverage carries risk
Using high leverage means small market movements can result in proportionally large losses. Always size your positions according to your risk tolerance, use stop-loss orders, and never risk capital you cannot afford to lose. CFDs and forex trading are not suitable for all investors.
