ZFX Leverage & Margin
High leverage cuts both ways — for South African traders funding in rand, a stronger dollar can shrink the ZAR value of a margin call faster than expected.
Open ZFX Account →ZFX offers leverage up to 1:2000, with the maximum available leverage decreasing as your account equity grows.
ZFX leverage at a glance
- Maximum leverage up to 1:2000 on smaller account equity
- Leverage steps down as account equity rises (e.g. lower cap above $3,000 equity)
- Available on Mini, Standard STP and ECN accounts
Size positions conservatively if you're funding from a ZAR bank account, since currency conversion adds an extra layer of volatility on top of the trade itself.
