You can trade Forex and CFDs on leverage. This can allow you to take advantage of even the smallest moves in the market. When you trade with JPPro, your trades are executed using borrowed money. For example, 1:500 leverage allows you to trade with $50,000 in the market by setting aside only $100 as a security deposit. Remember, higher leverage can amplify your losses.

Did you know? If you are trading and your equity drops to a lower tier, you can request a leverage increase. JPPro will review every request on a case by case basis and has the final right to reject any requests in our sole and absolute discretion.
What is Margin?
Margin can be thought of as a good faith deposit required to maintain open positions. This is not a fee or a transaction cost, it is simply a portion of your account equity set aside and allocated as a margin deposit. The amount of margin that you are required to put up for each currency pair varies by the leverage profiles listed above.
Do Margin requirements change?
Margin requirements can periodically change to account for changes in market volatility and currency exchange rates. For example, the margin requirement (MMR) for a specific currency pair is calculated as a percentage of the notional value of such pair. As the exchange rates for any specific currency pair fluctuate up or down, the margin requirement for that pair must be adjusted. As an example, if the Euro strengthens against the US dollar, more margin will be required to hold a EUR/USD position in a US dollar denominated account. JPPro does not anticipate more than one update a month, however extreme market movements or event risk may necessitate unscheduled intra-month updates.
