What leverage is available on my account?
Your available leverage depends on your account type, account equity, and the product you trade. Your account’s displayed leverage is the account-level limit; a lower product limit or temporary adjustment may apply to a particular trade.
Where can I check my account leverage?
You can check your current account leverage in the PU Prime Client Portal, under your trading account details.
The displayed setting does not necessarily apply to every product.
What can reduce the leverage available for my trade?
| Factor | How It Affects Available Leverage |
| Account type and entity | Determine which leverage options are available to your account. |
| Product requirements | Some products have lower or fixed leverage. A lower product limit takes precedence over your account setting. |
| Account equity | For accounts subject to the 1:1000 equity condition, leverage is automatically reduced to 1:500 when equity exceeds USD 20,000 or its equivalent. |
| Dynamic leverage | Temporary limits may reduce leverage for new positions in affected products during designated periods. |
What should I check before opening a position?
- Account leverage: Confirm your current setting in the Client Portal.
- Product leverage: Check whether the product has a lower or fixed limit.
- Account equity: Check whether an equity-based adjustment applies.
- Scheduled adjustments: Review PU Prime Client Notices for any dynamic leverage period affecting your trade.
- Required margin: Ensure you have sufficient free margin under the applicable leverage.
Higher leverage reduces the margin required for the same position size, but it also allows you to open larger positions with the same funds. Larger positions increase potential gains and losses.
