What is FXCM’s leverage on CFD products?

The required margin and specific leverage for CFD products vary. 

To view the most up-to-date margin requirements for CFD products, visit the FXCM CFD Product Guide. 

Under most circumstances, initial margin will be roughly 1 percent of the full contract amount, (providing a leverage of about 100:1). You can see the margin requirements for all CFDs in the CFD Product Guide. Margin can be thought of as a good faith deposit that is required to maintain open positions. This is not a fee or a transaction cost. It is simply a portion of your account equity set aside and allocated as a margin deposit. Margin requirements are determined by taking a percentage of the notional trade size plus a small cushion. A cushion is added to help alleviate daily/weekly fluctuations.

Please be advised that trading on margin carries a significant risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.
