In the world of CFD and Forex trading, leverage is one of the most powerful tools at your disposal—allowing you to control larger positions with a smaller amount of capital. At TenTrade, we use Dynamic Leverage (also known as balance-based or volume-based leverage) to provide the highest possible leverage for smaller positions while automatically adjusting it as your position size or account equity grows.
This intelligent system offers maximum flexibility and capital efficiency for retail traders, while promoting responsible risk management on larger exposures.
How Does TenTrade Dynamic Leverage Work?
Dynamic Leverage automatically scales based on your total open position volume (notional value) and/or account balance.
- Smaller trades and lower equity → Higher maximum leverage (up to 1:500 or more on major Forex pairs)
- Larger trades and higher equity → Lower leverage applied progressively
This tiered structure gives you the best of both worlds: aggressive leverage when you need it most (on smaller or new accounts) and built-in protection against over-exposure as your trading activity increases.
