In the Islamic account, each symbol is swap-free (no overnight interest) for a specific number of days. The leverage structure is similar to the main accounts and is offered as follows:
Suitable for traders who:
Choosing the proper leverage depends on several factors and varies for every trader.
First, answer these three simple questions:
To open trades, you need margin; leverage reduces the amount of margin required for each trade, allowing you to enter larger positions.
As your trade size increases, both potential profits and potential losses increase.
To fully understand leverage, consider the example below:
Suppose you fund your account with $100 and want to trade with maximum leverage.
In the table below, we compare this scenario using leverage ratios of 1:1, 1:100, and 1:500.
In the previous example, if the market moves just 10 pips against you, you could lose 50% of your account balance. For instance, the XAU/USD symbol (Gold Spot) typically has an average daily volatility of around 100 pips. This means that trading with large position sizes and without a stop-loss can be hazardous.
Are you ready to execute your strategy in the real market with real capital?
If so, open your desired account with your preferred leverage and trading strategy.
Not ready yet? A demo account with real market conditions allows you to:
It is a tool that allows you to open larger trades with a smaller account balance. With higher leverage, you can enter bigger positions even if your capital is limited.
Margin is the portion of your capital that is locked as collateral when you open a trade. Leverage is the multiplier that reduces the required margin and allows you to open larger positions with less capital.
This ratio shows how many times your balance is multiplied to determine your trading power. For example, with 1:500 leverage, if you have $100 in your account, you can access up to $50,000 in trading power.
No. Leverage only allows you to trade larger volumes; it does not change your actual balance.
A margin call occurs when your margin level becomes too low to open new trades. In this situation, you must manage or close trades or add more funds to support available margin.
If your margin level reaches the stop-out level, your position will be closed automatically (liquidated).
No. Your maximum possible loss is limited to your account balance. Leverage only determines how much of that balance you are risking.
With high leverage, reaching the stop-out level leaves you with very little remaining balance. Even small market movements can wipe out your capital if risk management is not applied.
Choose leverage that matches your trading style. To avoid emotional decisions or revenge trading, it is recommended to use moderate leverage.
Leverage is powerful, and beginners should use it carefully with proper risk management.
Risk control means balancing your position size, the percentage of capital risked per trade, and logical stop-loss and take-profit levels. By setting a maximum daily risk limit—and sticking to it—you can effectively manage your trading account.
Leverage does not directly increase losses; it affects your trade size, which, in turn, involves risk.
Traders first measure the distance (in pips) between the entry price and the stop-loss.
Then, based on risk-management rules, they choose the appropriate lot size.
To better understand this, consider the example below:
Suppose you are trading Gold (XAU/USD) with a 20-pip stop-loss.
If your total balance is $200, your potential loss is calculated as follows:
| Lot Size | Stop-Loss: 20 pips | Risk % | Required Leverage |
| 0.01 | $2 loss | 1% | 1:10 – 1:20 |
| 0.10 | $20 loss | 10% | 1:100 – 1:200 |
| 0.50 | $100 loss | 50% | 1:200 – 1:500 |
| 1.00 | $200 loss | 100% | 1:500 – 1:1000 |
Contract size tells you how many units of an asset you are trading when you open one lot on a symbol.
Contract Size in Different Symbols
Contract sizes vary across trading instruments. See the table below:
| Trading Symbol | Contract Size (1 Lot) |
| Gold (XAU/USD) | 100 ounces of gold |
| Silver (XAG/USD) | 5,000 ounces of silver |
| Oil (USOIL) | 1,000 barrels of oil |
| EUR/USD | 100,000 euros |
For example, when you trade one lot of gold, every $1 movement in the price of XAU/USD results in $100 profit or loss in your equity.
This is because the contract size for gold is 100 ounces per 1 lot, and the full price movement applies to the value of these 100 ounces.
| Lot Size | Stop-Loss Distance (USD) | Stop-Loss Distance (Pips) |
| 0.01 | $0.10 | 100 pips |
| 0.10 | $1 | 10 pips |
| 1.00 | $10 | 1 pip |

Margin level is a percentage that shows how much of your balance is free and how much is tied to open positions.
Formula:
Equity ÷ Used Margin × 100
Margin level indicates the safety of your account. The higher the level, the farther you are from a margin call or a stop-out. As the margin level approaches 100%, the risk of liquidation increases.
