1) Trade Larger Positions with Less Capital
High leverage lets you open big trades with small deposits.
Simple Example
With 1:1000 leverage, you can control a $10,000 trade with just $10 in margin.
This enables small accounts to participate earlier and capture bigger opportunities as they arise.
Formula (Spot FX)
Required Margin = (Notional ÷ Leverage)
e.g., $10,000 ÷ 1000 = $10 margin
2) Boost Your Profit Potential
Leverage amplifies gains from small market moves — perfect for scalpers and short-term traders aiming for small pip targets with tight risk.
Example: Even a 10-pip move can deliver meaningful returns when position size is optimized — provided risk is controlled with a hard stop-loss.
3) Access to More Markets with Lower Capital
Greater buying power helps you diversify without a huge bankroll:
- Trade forex, crypto, commodities, indices from one EMAR account.
- Allocate smaller margins across multiple ideas.
- Rotate exposure as conditions change.
At EMAR Markets: leverage is available up to 1:3000 across major instruments (availability varies by product and region).
4) More Efficient Use of Capital
Using leverage strategically can free cash for risk management and flexibility:
- Enter multiple trades instead of just one oversized position.
- Keep capital in reserve to defend or scale ideas.
- Scale in/out without overcommitting funds.

5) Ideal for Experienced Traders with a Plan
If you manage risk properly, high leverage becomes a powerful edge:
- Execute complex strategies with less capital tied up.
- Adjust lot sizes and stop-loss distances dynamically.
- Leverage EMAR’s tools for high-leverage setups efficiently.
Leverage with Caution
High leverage increases both profits and losses. Always:
- Use a hard stop-loss on every trade.
- Risk a small, fixed % of equity per trade (e.g., 0.5%–2%).
- Size positions with a calculator — don’t guess.
- Avoid overexposure to a single asset or theme.
Risk Warning: CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
