Adjusting Leverage on a Live Trading Account

You can change your funded trading account’s leverage through the Client Portal or the Vantage app. The available leverage ratios depend on your account and region.

Before You Start

• Log in to your Vantage profile.
• Check the available ratios under Change Leverage. Minimum and maximum leverage are subject to the terms and conditions and regulatory requirements applicable to your region.

Change leverage through the Client Portal

1. Log in to the client portal.
2. Click Account, then select Live Account.
3. Click the gear icon next to the account you want to update.
4. Select Change Leverage.
5. Choose your preferred leverage ratio from the available options and save your changes.

Change leverage through the Vantage app

1. Open the Vantage app and tap the Trade tab.
2. Select the CFDs section, then tap the Live Account icon for the account you want to update.
3. Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
4. Select your preferred leverage ratio.
5. Acknowledge the terms and conditions.
6. Tap Confirm.

Check Your Updated Leverage

After saving, check your trading account details to confirm that your selected leverage ratio is displayed.

Important

• Changing leverage affects your margin requirements. A lower leverage ratio generally requires more margin to maintain the same position size.
• If you have open positions, review your available margin before submitting a change.
• Certain products may have fixed leverage or separate margin requirements, so your selected account leverage may not apply to every instrument.
• Higher leverage can amplify both potential profits and losses. Review the applicable Terms and Conditions before confirming your change.

Troubleshooting

• Your preferred ratio is unavailable: Choose from the options displayed for your account. Availability is subject to regional requirements.
• The change is not reflected: Refresh the Client Portal or reopen the app, then check your account details again.
