04 High Leverage Risk Warning
Amplified Losses
High leverage magnifies losses in the same proportion as it magnifies gains. A 1% adverse move with 1:100 leverage results in a 100% loss of your margin deposit.
Margin Calls
High leverage positions require careful monitoring. Insufficient margin will trigger automated margin calls and potential position closure without prior warning.
News Event Risk
During news events, prices can gap significantly, potentially causing losses that exceed the margin level before stop-out can be triggered.
Overnight Risk
Positions held overnight with high leverage are exposed to gap risk when markets reopen, potentially resulting in significantly adverse price movements.
High leverage trading of up to 1:1000 is suitable ONLY for experienced traders with a thorough understanding of technical and fundamental analysis, risk management, and the mechanics of leveraged trading. If you are new to trading, ABDFX strongly recommends starting with 1:1 or low leverage ratios on a demo account first.
05 Margin Requirements
Margin requirements are calculated as a percentage of the notional trade value and vary by instrument and leverage ratio selected:
| Leverage | Margin % | Example: 1 Lot EUR/USD | Margin Required (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1:1 | 100% | 100,000 EUR/USD | ~USD 108,000 |
| 1:50 | 2% | 100,000 EUR/USD | ~USD 2,160 |
| 1:100 | 1% | 100,000 EUR/USD | ~USD 1,080 |
| 1:500 | 0.2% | 100,000 EUR/USD | ~USD 216 |
| 1:1000 | 0.1% | 100,000 EUR/USD | ~USD 108 |
06 Stop Out Policy
ABDFX implements an automated stop out policy to protect clients from negative balances:
⚠️ Margin Call Level
100% Margin Level
A margin call notification is sent when account equity falls to 100% of required margin
Stop Out Level
50% Margin Level
Positions are automatically closed starting from the largest losing position when equity falls to 50%
️ Negative Balance
Protected to Zero
Retail clients are protected from negative balances - account cannot go below zero
Stop out levels may not guarantee protection against losses that exceed your account balance during extreme market conditions, such as significant price gaps following major news events or market closures. Monitor your positions actively.
