Dynamic Leverage is a risk management tool that aims to minimize risks deriving from high volume trading since leverage is based per instrument by tiers instead of per account.
Margin Requirements are set per symbol and automatically adapt in cases where the net number of lots on open positions increases or decreases in the client’s account. This is done per trading instrument.
Please note that the maximum leverage offered by WB Trade per symbol asset class is explained below in detail.
