Pocket Option Leverage

Leverage may be automatically adjusted during periods of high volatility to reduce risks.

Pocket Option offers the following account types:

• Demo Account: Allows practice with virtual funds and leverage up to 1:1000.
• Real Account: Minimum deposit from $5. Access to leverage up to 1:1000 through MT4/MT5 platforms.

Important: Access to MT5 trading may require a certain account level, such as "Experienced," which typically involves a deposit starting from $1000.

It is recommended to start with moderate leverage (such as 1:50 or 1:100) and gradually increase it as you gain more experience.

1. Understand the Risks of Leverage
Leverage allows you to control larger positions with a smaller capital outlay.
For instance, a 1:100 leverage enables you to control $10,000 worth of assets with just $100.
While this can magnify profits, it equally increases potential losses.
A small adverse market movement can lead to significant losses or even a margin call.

2. Implement Strict Position Sizing
Determine the amount of capital to risk on each trade.
A common rule is to risk no more than 1–2% of your trading capital on a single trade.
This approach helps in preserving capital over the long term.

3. Use Stop-Loss Orders
Always set stop-loss orders to limit potential losses.
A stop-loss order automatically closes your position at a predetermined price level, preventing further losses if the market moves against you.

4. Monitor Margin Levels
Keep a close eye on your account's margin level.
If your equity falls below the required margin, you may receive a margin call, prompting you to deposit more funds or close positions.
Maintaining a healthy margin level helps prevent forced liquidations.

5. Start with Lower Leverage
If you're new to leveraged trading, consider starting with lower leverage ratios, such as 1:10 or 1:20.
This approach allows you to get accustomed to market movements and the impact of leverage on your trades.
