The 20:1 leverage is a deliberate choice for sustainable trading. While other providers offer higher leverage, this often leads to a conflict of interest: They allow high leverage but set strict loss limits (5% per day, 10% total). When traders then use this leverage, they're labeled as "gamblers" and face problems with payouts. Our approach is different. We transparently define from the start what risk we accept. With 20:1 leverage, position sizes stay within a healthy range, without hidden rules in the terms and conditions. This leads to clear, comprehensible trading conditions for all parties involved. This limitation not only reduces support requests and enables smoother payouts but also emphasizes our focus on long-term collaboration. We specifically look for talented traders who want to trade profitably and sustainably - not short-term fortune seekers. The 20:1 leverage optimally supports this goal and promotes appropriate risk management.
