How leverage works
Same position, different margin
With leverage of 1:500, every 1 USD of margin controls up to 500 USD of position. One lot of EUR/USD is 100,000 euros, worth about $112,194; at 1:500 it needs about $224.39 of margin.
Leverage changes only the margin a position needs. The profit or loss per pip depends on the trade size, not on leverage. But because higher leverage lets you open larger positions with the same money, it can magnify losses as quickly as gains.
| Leverage | Margin for 1 lot EUR/USD |
|---|---|
| 1:50 | $2,243.88 |
| 1:100 | $1,121.94 |
| 1:200 | $560.97 |
| 1:400 | $280.49 |
| 1:500 | $224.39 |
| 1:1,000 | $112.19 |
| 1:2,000 | $56.10 |
EUR/USD mid 1.12194 (live) · 1 lot = 100,000 EUR. Margin = 100,000 × price ÷ leverage.

Use leverage carefully
High leverage means a small price move can use up your margin quickly and trigger a stop out. Size positions so that a normal move against you does not threaten your account, use a stop loss, and never risk money you cannot afford to lose. You can lower your account leverage at any time when you have no open positions.
