Equity is calculated as follows: Equity = Account balance + Floating result for open positions. Please note that changes in leverage on your MT4/MT5 trading account may not immediately update margin parameters in your trading terminal. We recommend re-logging into your trading terminal after adjusting leverage for accurate margin parameters.
Please exercise caution, especially when using the highest leverage, as leverage reduction, as outlined in the table above, may increase your margin requirement and could result in liquidation if margin/equity falls below 50%.
* Additionally, leverage for currencies other than USD may vary flexibly according to the day-to-day exchange rate.
Asset Classes | Leverage |

Commodities | 100:1 |
