Weltrade leverage at a glance
- Weltrade offers leverage up to 1:1000, available across Cent, Premium and Pro accounts and on both MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5.
- Leverage lets you control a larger position with a smaller deposit: at 1:1000 the required margin is 1/1000 of the position's value, so a 1-lot EUR/USD trade ties up far less cash than the notional it controls.
- Required margin = position size in the base currency divided by the leverage ratio; a higher ratio frees up margin, a lower ratio demands more, so your free margin changes as you open trades.
- The same 1:1000 that can amplify a gain amplifies a loss just as fast — a small adverse move against a large position can wipe out a big share of your account, which is why CFDs are complex instruments carrying a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage.
- Your effective leverage is a choice, not a fixed setting: you can trade far below the 1:1000 cap by using smaller lot sizes, which is how you control real exposure regardless of the maximum the account allows.
- A swap-free option is available if you want to hold leveraged positions overnight without swap charges, and you can rehearse any leverage level for free on an unlimited demo account before risking real funds.
How margin scales with leverage (illustrative)
| Leverage | Required margin as share of position | Buying power per $100 of margin |
|---|---|---|
| 1:100 | 1.0% | $10,000 position |
| 1:200 | 0.5% | $20,000 position |
| 1:500 | 0.2% | $50,000 position |
| 1:1000 | 0.1% | $100,000 position |
Margin = position size divided by the leverage ratio. Higher leverage frees up margin but grows the position your account is exposed to, so both potential gains and potential losses scale up. Figures are a simplified illustration of the formula, not a quote.

Managing leverage risk in practice
| Step | What to do | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pick a lot size that fits your balance, not the maximum leverage | Effective exposure is set by position size, not by the 1:1000 cap |
| 2 | Set a stop-loss on every leveraged trade in MT4/MT5 | Caps how much a single adverse move can cost you |
| 3 | Watch your free margin and margin level in the terminal | A falling margin level signals you are close to a margin call |
| 4 | Test the setup on the free unlimited demo first | You see how margin and P/L move before real money is at risk |

Frequently asked questions
What is the maximum leverage at Weltrade?
Up to 1:1000 on major forex pairs.
Is high leverage risky?
Yes — leverage magnifies both profit and loss. Size positions to your risk.
How does 1:1000 leverage actually work?
Leverage lets a smaller deposit control a larger position. At 1:1000 the margin locked up is 1/1000 (0.1%) of the position's value, so $100 of margin can support a position worth around $100,000. The formula is: required margin = position size divided by the leverage ratio. The rest of the position value is effectively borrowed exposure for the duration of the trade.
Does higher leverage mean higher profit?
It magnifies both directions equally. The same 1:1000 that multiplies a favourable move also multiplies a loss, and losses accrue just as fast. A small move against a large leveraged position can erase a big share of your account. CFDs are complex instruments and carry a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage, so size positions to your risk rather than to the maximum leverage available.
How do I choose the right leverage for me?
Rather than always trading at the cap, decide first how much of your balance you are willing to risk on one trade, then choose a lot size that fits. Your real, effective leverage comes from the position size you open, not from the account's maximum setting. Beginners often keep effective leverage low and add a stop-loss on every trade; you can rehearse different levels for free on the unlimited demo before going live.
What are a margin call and a stop-out?
As open positions move against you, your margin level falls. A margin call is a warning that your account is running low on free margin; if the level keeps dropping, a stop-out automatically closes positions to help protect the account. Watching your free margin and margin level in the MT4/MT5 terminal lets you react before it reaches that point.
Can I hold a leveraged position overnight?
Yes. Positions can be kept open across sessions, and a swap-free option is available if you prefer not to pay swap charges on positions held overnight. You manage all open leveraged trades from the same MetaTrader terminal or the Weltrade mobile app, and check current account conditions in your My Weltrade cabinet.
