Leverage: Your Capital Efficiency Multiplier
Leverage allows you to control larger market positions with a smaller amount of capital, increasing capital efficiency across global instruments.
At AFT Funded, leverage can go up to 1:100 depending on your challenge type and traded asset class (Forex, Commodities, or Indices).
Key Points
- Buying Power Boost: Higher leverage expands position size potential from the same account balance.
- Higher Sensitivity: The same leverage that amplifies opportunity also increases the speed of equity fluctuations.
- Account-Specific Ratio: Always verify your exact leverage setting in your challenge dashboard.
Example
Assume you have 1:100 leverage on a $10,000 account.
- Theoretical Buying Power: Up to $1,000,000 in market exposure.
- Margin Requirement Example: For one standard EUR/USD lot ($100,000), required margin is approximately $1,000.
- Risk Reminder: Use leverage within your Maximum Daily Loss and Maximum Loss limits to avoid rule breaches.
Summary
Leverage is a powerful tool when paired with disciplined risk control. Use it to improve efficiency, not to overextend exposure.
