Leverage and Risk Management

FBS allows leverage levels up to 1:3000 on forex accounts, enabling traders to control larger positions. Leverage magnifies profits and losses, so risk control is essential. Utilize our position size calculators to determine appropriate trade volumes. Stop-loss and take-profit orders can be set directly in the trading platform to manage open positions. Negative balance protection prevents accounts from entering debt during volatile market conditions.

• Use position sizing based on a fixed percentage of your account.
• Set stop-loss points at technical support or resistance levels.
• Establish take-profit levels reflecting favorable risk-to-reward ratios.
• Diversify trades across different assets to reduce risk.
• Monitor margin levels and account equity regularly.

Margin Requirements

Margin depends on asset type and selected leverage. Major forex pairs require approximately 0.33% margin at 1:300 leverage. Exotic pairs and commodities demand higher margin due to volatility. Traders receive margin call alerts when equity approaches required levels. To avoid forced position closures, deposit additional funds or reduce exposure promptly.
