XM Leverage
XM trading leverage is up to 1000 times for standard account, micro account and KIWAMI polar account, and up to 500 times for zero account. While you can aim for big profits with high leverage, if you do not understand how leverage works and how to apply it, in the worst case you may lose all your funds in the trade.
The advantage of leverage is that you can start FX even if you have little capital. In addition, there are two points that say that you can earn a lot from a small amount of money. The higher the leverage, the less margin you can start trading with.
Leverage rules and limitations
XMTrading’s leverage is up to 1000x for standard accounts, micro accounts, and KIWAMI Koku accounts, and up to 500x for zero accounts, but there are cases where the maximum leverage is limited or regulated. If it is a minor currency pair such as USDTRY, it will be less than 100 times. EURDKK, EURHKD, GBPDKK, USDDKK, USDHKD, USDCNH, EURRUB, USDRUB, etc. are over 50 times, and the effective leverage varies depending on each product. The details change each time, so it would be best to ask the official website support.
Leverage regulations based on currency pairs
| Max Leverage | Forex Currency pair |
| 50 | EURDKK・EURHKD・GBPDKK・USDDKK・USDHKD・USDCNH・EURRUB・USDRUB |

XM has popular currency pairs that cannot be traded with approximately 1,000x leverage, which is greater than other companies. Start trading using a small amount of money. Please note that fees and margins vary depending on the offering and market system. Please refer to the following page for details. There are no margin calls, so you can feel very safe even if you have some unrealized losses. Please carefully consider the timing of losses.

In XM, when the margin balance increases, the maximum leverage is regulated and limited. Please note that the more your margin balance increases, the more restrictions will apply. As you can see, the maximum leverage is 1000x, 500x, 200x, and 100x, so check them out. Bonuses from new events and campaigns will also be added to your balance and affected by the maximum leverage. Be careful when aiming for high leverage trades.
Leverage regulations by account type
| Standard | 1,000 |
| Micro | 1,000 |
| KIWAMI | 1,000 |
| Zero | 500 |
XMTrading leverage is up to 1000x for standard accounts, micro accounts, and KIWAMI Koku accounts, and up to 500x for zero accounts. The maximum leverage varies depending on the target and is applied automatically. Account type is also important when investing, so be sure to keep it in mind. The efficiency will also change considerably when fighting scalping orders.
Leverage regulation based on lot number
| Lots | Max Leverage |
| 0~40 | 500 |
| 40~120 | 250 |
| 120~200 | 50 |
| 200~ | 1 |
For XM virtual currency trading only, leverage regulations and limits are applied depending on the number of lots. For virtual currency trading, the maximum is 500x, and leverage is limited depending on the lot.
Leverage restrictions on economic indicators
There are leverage limits on economic indicators. This is because the market moves significantly when the unemployment rate and policy interest rate in the United States are announced. At this time, leverage restrictions will be temporarily applied. At the very least, it is important not to trade when the indicator is in order to protect your assets from going negative. This mechanism is also used by other brokers such as gemforex, threetrader, bigboss, and axiory.
How to calculate and set XM leverage
The way to leverage is to “hold a position”. This is because the amount of the position determines how much leverage is required. If you raise the number of lots and have a lot of positions, leverage will be applied to the margin. On the contrary, if you lower the number of lots and the number of positions, the leverage will disappear.
Method of calculation
Now, let’s see how much leverage it takes to enter with how many lots. Leverage can be calculated using the formula below.
Leverage = trade size * account currency conversion rate / margin requirement
Setting method
XM allows you to set leverage when opening an account. There is a wide variety of stocks available, and you can trade in many products such as gold, silver, and Bitcoin. The steps to check and change leverage are explained below.
Steps to Check and Change XM Leverage

“Submit Request”
iPhone

Main Leverage Options Available at XM
These vary depending on the account type, but generally include:
1:1
1:10
1:50
1:100
1:200
1:500
1:1000
and others are available.
Points to Note When Changing Leverage
Changes are possible even while holding open positions.
However, since the required margin changes,
be aware of the following:
Lower margin maintenance ratio
Forced stop-loss
May be limited by effective margin
XM has maximum leverage limits depending on account balance and instrument.
Example:
Maximum leverage decreases with increased balance
Cryptocurrency CFDs have lower leverage
May be temporarily restricted during economic indicator releases
Troubleshooting When You Can’t Change Your Leverage
If you can’t change your leverage on XM, it’s often due to restrictions based on account conditions or your current position status.
Insufficient Required Margin for Open Positions
When you lower your leverage, the required margin increases.
For example:
Required Margin = Transaction Amount Leverage Required Margin = Transaction Amount/Leverage Required Margin = Leverage Transaction Amount
Changing from 1:1000 to 1:100 increases the required margin by 10 times.
Solutions:
Close some positions
Add funds
Reduce unrealized losses
High Account Balance/Effective Margin
XM restricts your maximum leverage as your balance increases.
Common Examples:
Large Balance
Large Transaction in Progress
High Unrealized Profits
→ Maximum leverage of 1000x may become unavailable.
Solutions:
Select a leverage ratio within the limit.
Diversify funds to a separate account.
Leverage Restrictions on the Instrument Side
The following have lower leverage ratios than usual:
Cryptocurrency CFDs
Some stock indices
Individual stock CFDs
Metal CFDs
Therefore, the desired leverage ratio may not be displayed.
Bonus Account/Special Account Restrictions
The upper limit varies depending on the account type.
Examples:
Zero Account
KIWAMI Extreme Account
Standard Account
Solutions:
Check the supported limit.
Create an additional account if necessary.
Temporary Restrictions During Economic Indicators
XM may temporarily restrict access before and after important events.
Examples:
US Employment Statistics
FOMC
Bank of Japan Policy Announcement
In this case, access may be restored within a few hours to the next day.
Account Verification Incomplete
If identity verification is not complete, some functions will be restricted.
Required items:
Identification document
Proof of address
System failure/maintenance
Changes may not be possible during XM’s server maintenance.
