Largest account size you can have and still use 1:50 leverage

If u are a profitable and active trader, u do need at least 10K account for deposit. Otherwise, the commission u pay would be quite high.

 

1000:1 leverage? hahaha

 

In extreme case.

 

Very adventurous types could still open multiple accounts and keep trading huge amounts with extreme leverage.

 

But risk can be controlled by other criteria, like max loss or max shares.

 

I don't think you will have any problems getting up to 100:1 leverage for the amounts you mention. certainly 50:1. Above that you have to negotiate with the PB.

You can get 100:1+ leverage up to 500:1 if you are willing to trade through a dealer. In terms of MTF's/ETNs I believe leverage tops out at 100:1

 

I suggest the leverage should not exceed 1:100, it's maximum leverage provide by bank for brokers, also it's for the consideration of risk control.

 

I agree. 100:1 leverage is huge and ample.

 

Certainly with larger fund accounts, brokers never offer higher leverage, because they are MM. I see most broker only offer maximum < 1:500 for VIP account, my broker is 1:200 (check out at this link https://goo.gl/BvxAJ1)

 

it is up to a trader what leverage he likes to use. I think 1:50 leverage is less he should have a large amount in his trading account for this. I like to trade with 1:100 or 1:200 leverage in trading . If you had good skill you can use high leverage in safe way it will support you to get profits . Without experience high leverage becomes a killer .
