HF Markets Leverage

All account types have maximum leverage of 1:400 in Kenya, in line with the CMA regulation. Traders can choose to use floating leverage or fixed leverage option. The maximum leverage of 1:400 applies only to major forex pairs, other instruments have lower leverage limits.

With leverage of 400, you can open a trade position worth up to 400 times the value of your deposit. For example, with a deposit of 1,000 KES, you can place a trade of 400,000 KES.

Note: Trading with leverage is very risky, and you must avoid using more than 1:30 leverage on forex. The availability of a floating leverage option is an advantage, and you must never use 1:400 leverage. As a caution by HF Markets, leverage is adjusted when your equity exceeds $300,000.
