Features of DecodeFX Leverage

What is leverage?
Leverage is a mechanism that allows you to trade larger positions with a small amount of margin (collateral), making it an important tool for traders who want to increase their capital efficiency.
In foreign exchange (FX) trading, using leverage enables traders to execute larger transactions even with limited funds.
For example, with a deposit of 100,000 JPY and 100x leverage, you can trade up to 10,000,000 JPY worth of positions.
In this way, leverage allows traders to amplify their trading power and enhance capital efficiency.
However, while leverage magnifies profits, it also increases potential losses, so proper risk management is essential.

Utilizing Leverage at DecodeFX

At DecodeFX, all account types offer high leverage of up to 1:1000.
Traders can flexibly adjust the leverage ratio based on their own trading strategies and risk tolerance.
Each product category—such as FX, precious metals, stock indices, energy, and cryptocurrency CFDs—
has a pre-set maximum leverage suited to its characteristics.
This flexibility allows both beginners and experienced traders to start trading efficiently without excessive restrictions,
and provides an advanced trading environment for professional traders seeking a high-leverage, strategic setup.

Advantages and Risks of Leverage

Advantages

By using leverage, you can trade larger positions with a smaller amount of margin,
allowing for more efficient use of capital.
Even with limited funds, traders can seize greater trading opportunities,
making leverage an essential mechanism for those who value capital efficiency.

Risks

On the other hand, setting leverage too high increases the risk that
losses will grow proportionally if the market moves against your expectations.
Highly leveraged trades are more likely to lose a large portion of margin in a short period,
and sudden market movements may trigger stop-outs (forced liquidation).
Therefore, careful attention and proper risk management are crucial.

Maximum Leverage at DecodeFX

At DecodeFX, the maximum leverage is flexibly set by asset class
based on the type of trading instrument and its risk characteristics.
This allows traders to perform appropriate risk management for each asset,
while maintaining high capital efficiency in their trading.
Additionally, all account types (Standard / Pro / VIP) at DecodeFX
share the same maximum leverage conditions,
ensuring a consistent and fair trading environment for all users.
You can check the maximum leverage by product category below:

DecodeFX’s Fixed Leverage System and Its Advantages

At DecodeFX, all account types apply a fixed maximum leverage (up to 1:1000), regardless of trading volume or margin balance.
This allows traders to maintain a consistent leverage ratio and perform strategic and efficient capital management at all times.

How “Leverage Restrictions” Work in Some Overseas Brokers

Many overseas FX brokers adopt automatic leverage reduction systems for risk management.
The two most common types are as follows:

01

■Tiered Leverage Limitation (Dynamic Leverage)

Each time trading volume increases,
the maximum leverage automatically decreases.
In this system, the larger the position size, the more margin is required,
which reduces capital efficiency for active traders.

Total Number of LotsMaximum Applicable Leverage
0 – 10 lots1:1000
10 – 50 lots1:500
50 – 200 lots1:200
200+ lots1:25

02

■ Equity-Based Leverage Method

In this approach, the maximum leverage decreases automatically
based on the available account balance.
While intended to manage risk, this also means that
larger deposits lead to lower leverage, limiting trading flexibility.。
Example settings:

Account EquityMaximum Applicable Leverage
～$5001:5000
$500～$1,0001:2000
$1,000～$5,0001:1000
$5,000～$10,0001:500
$10,000～$50,0001:200
$50,000+1:100 or less

03

No Leverage Restrictions at DecodeFX

DecodeFX does not use either of the above systems.
Instead, a fixed maximum leverage is applied at all times,
regardless of lot size or margin balance.
Advantages of this fixed leverage system include:：
・Stable position management even with large trade volumes
・Consistent leverage without fluctuations, enabling strategic capital use
・Easy to manage multiple or long-term positions simultaneously
・High transparency and predictable trading conditions
Thus, DecodeFX provides an ideal trading environment　for traders who prioritize consistency and freedom in leverage settings.
