Frequently Asked Questions
Effective leverage is the ratio of your total notional exposure to your account balance. If you control $250,000 in notional value with a $50,000 account, your effective leverage is 5:1. This tells you how much market exposure you have relative to your capital — higher leverage means larger gains and losses per dollar of account equity.
