Most brokers require a certain minimum initial deposit. For instance, Cyprus-based Easy-forex demands $25, and Belize-based ForexBrokerInc, requires $100 from its clients as a minimum.

Maximum Leverage

The maximum leverage level offered by NordFX is 1:1000 and the one provided by NordFX CY is up to 1:500, both ratios being comparatively high for the forex market. Still, many other brokers provide similar leverage levels, since there are no restrictions set: SVG-based OctaFX and ForexBrokerInc both offer leverage up to 1:500, and many Cyprus-based brokers offer high leverage levels around 1:1000 (FXTM).

More brokers offering leverage equal to or exceeding 1:500 can be viewed here.

We advise you to exercise caution when trading on margin, as higher leverage involves higher risk of heavy losses, which may even exceed traders’ initial investments.

The MT5 was developed and marketed as an improvement on MT4, yet many brokers still prefer the earlier technology, since MT5 does not allow hedging, and besides, MT4’s indicators and EAs are not supported on the MT5 platform.
