Dynamic Leverage for Forex

HYCM uses a dynamic forex leverage model available on the MT4, and MT5 platform

Multiple dynamic leverage options up to 1:500 are available for both Forex (major) and Forex (minor)

As the volume of a client's chosen instrument increases the maximum leverage offered automatically decreases (as per the following table). Margin recalculation is triggered every ten lots when the number of lots exceeds 10, 20, or 30 lots.

If a client has positions open across multiple instruments the leverage will be calculated separately on each forex symbol.

Applicable Leverage	Account Leverage 1:500	Account Leverage 1:400	Account Leverage 1:300	Account Leverage 1:200	Account Leverage 1:100
1:500	0-10 lots	—	—	—	—
1:400	10-20 lots	0-20 lots	—	—	—
1:300	20-30 lots	20-30 lots	0-30 lots	—	—
1:200	Over 30 lots	Over 30 lots	Over 30 lots	0-30 lots	—
1:100	—	—	—	Over 30 lots	Any trade size

Example: Account Leverage A – 1:500 (Dynamic)

Consider a USD account with 40 Buy (or Sell) lots USDCHF.
The client has $10,000 to begin investing with and has opted for Account
Leverage A which uses a dynamic leverage of 1:500.

10 lots

For the first 10 lots the 1:500 leverage ratio is applied therefore the client needs a margin of $2,000, leaving $8,000 to invest.

10-20 lots

For lots 10-20 a leverage of 1:400 is applied to the remaining $8,000 so these lots require a margin of $2,500 margin, leaving $5,500 available to invest.

20-30 lots

For lots 20-30 a leverage of 1:300 is applied to $5,500 so these lots require $3,333 margin, leaving $2,167 available to invest.

over 30 lots

For any lots over 30 a leverage of 1:200 would be applied to the remaining $2,167.
