What leverage does Zero offer?


Article Summary

Your trading account will have the following leverage by default:

  • Up to 30:1 for forex pairs.
  • Up to 20:1 for commodities.
  • Up to 20:1 for indices.
  • 5:1 for all US stocks & US ETFs.

Leverage may be different for assets within the same group of instruments. Actual leverage for all instruments can be found here.

We encourage you not to focus on leverage however for two reasons:

  1. The standard CFD account comes with $100k in initial balance, more than sufficient to demonstrate your ability to generate a stable and positive return without paying attention to leverage.
  2. More importantly, it is the performance of your DARWIN Index and not your underlying signals account that determines seed and third party capital allocation and potential performance fees received.

You must only focus on your DARWIN's performance and not on the signal account's results. We recommend to trade with small size trades to avoid leverage problems.

For more information about how the DARWIN's performance is built, please visit this article.
