LEVERAGE


ACCOUNT LEVERAGE

WHAT IS LEVERAGE?

Forex Leverage is defined as the use of borrowed capital, such as “margin”
allowing the Forex trader to gain access to larger sums of capital. This can
heighten profits and losses and should be used wisely.

EXAMPLES OF FOREX LEVERAGE

Here is an example of how leverage works in Forex trading:

Forex Trader A has $5,000 USD:

If Forex Trader A has an account leverage of 10:1 and they wish to use $1,000 on
one Forex trade as margin, they will have exposure of $10,000 in base currency
($1,000) = 10 x $1000 = $10,000 (trade value).

Forex Trader B has $5,000 USD:

If Forex Trader B has an account leverage of 100:1 and they wish to use $1,000
on one Forex trade as margin, they will have exposure of $100,000 in base
currency ($1,000) = 100 x $1,000 = $100,000 (trade value).

WHAT LEVERAGE DOES VT MARKETS OFFER?

The maximum Forex leverage VT Markets may offer is up to 500:1. If you wish to
get access to alter your Forex leverage, please note this on the application or
contact us. By submitting a change in trade leverage request, you accept that
this can result in high risk and severe or total account loss. VT Markets is a
non-advisory Forex broker and will not provide you with investment or personal
trading advice. For such advice, please consult a registered financial advisor.

Margin Forex is very high risk and leverage should be used wisely.

Risk Warning:
CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly
due to leverage. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and
whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

Trading leveraged products such as Forex and CFDs carries a high level of risk
and may not be suitable for all investors. There is a possibility of losing all
your initial capital. Before trading, you should fully understand the true
extent of your exposure to the risk of loss and your level of experience. Please
note that past performance does not constitute a reliable indicator of future
results. Future forecasts do not constitute a reliable indicator of future
performance. If you do not fully understand the risks involved before deciding
to trade, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of
experience and risk tolerance; you should become aware of all the related risks
and seek independent advice from a suitably licensed financial advisor.
