Leverage and Margin at FxPro. UAE Entity Differences
75%+ of retail investor accounts lose money trading CFDs.
Margin basics
Margin = notional ÷ leverage. A 1:100 position needs 1% collateral; a 5% adverse move can wipe the slot on tight stops.
Stop-out
If equity falls below maintenance margin, positions auto-close at market, often at the worst moment in fast gold or NFP spikes.
UAE context
Many Dubai traders chase 1:500 marketing; verify your actual entity in FxPro Direct before sizing positions in USD from an AED salary.
FAQ
Can I change leverage later?
Often yes inside platform limits for your entity, check FxPro Direct account settings.
Does swap-free affect margin?
No, margin rules follow account type and entity, not Islamic overlay.
