Post subject:  Setting leverage

I think one thing that would be helpful is being able to set a lower leverage for the account. Like 10:1, 20:1, 50:1, etc. For one thing, professionals never trade an account they intend to grow over the long run with the ability to set positions 100:1.

Leverage can be set individually for regular Live and Demo accounts.

However, to ensure equal conditions to all contest participants, all accounts are created with the default standard leverage (1:100) that cannot be changed.

We believe this should not be a problem for our contestants since every trader is free to choose the percentage of leverage to be used. Even with a leverage 1:100 one may utilize only part of it, thus gearing down to an acceptable level of risk.
