ATC provides clients with 100:1 leverage on the MetaTrader Pro accounts and 100:2 leverage on the MetaTrader Institutional accounts.  Below is an explanation of the leverages based on 100,000 lot size:

> MetaTrader Pro Account: 100:1 Leverage

Margin Example:

If you are trading EUR/USD and the market is trading @1.5500, the standard account 100,000 lot size will have a margin of $1,550 for each contract based on a 100:1 leverage.

(market price -x- lot size = contract value -x- leverage = margin)

(1.5500 -x- 100,000 = $155,000 x 1%= $1,550)

Pip value is $10 for the standard 100,000 lot size for EUR/USD.

> MetaTrader Institutional Account: 50:1  Leverage

Margin Example:

If you are trading EUR/USD and the market is trading @1.5500, the standard account 100,000 lot size will have a margin of $3,100 for each contract based on a 100:2 leverage.

(market price -x- lot size = contract value -x- leverage = margin)

(1.5500 -x- 100,000 = $155,000 x 2%= $3,100)

Pip value is $10 for the standard 100,000 lot size for EUR/USD.

*Higher leverage can increase potential risk of loss.
