Leverage Risk Warning for UAE Retail Traders
75%+ of retail investor accounts lose money trading CFDs.
What the stat means
Majority lose over time after spreads, emotion, and over-leverage, not because the platform is broken.
Entity caps exist for a reason
1:30 CySEC/FCA retail limits were designed after ESMA review of retail harm. Chasing 1:500 via SCB without risk plan is a choice, not a recommendation.
Practical rules
Risk 1% per trade, use hard stops, withdraw profit slices, never fund the Wallet with rent money.
FAQ
Can FxPro reduce my leverage?
You can often lower leverage in account settings, do it before not after a margin call.
Negative balance protection?
Retail clients typically have negative balance protection per published terms, still not a profit guarantee.
