Short answer: On CFD accounts, leverage depends on the instrument and the account type, ranging from 1:1 on crypto up to 1:100 on forex for 2/3-Step accounts. On Future Based CFD accounts, leverage is a flat 1:20 across all instruments, for both Instant and 1-Step.

Leverage on Fewpips is not one number. On CFD accounts it varies by both the instrument you trade and the account type you hold, while Future Based CFD keeps it simple. Here is the full matrix.

Future Based CFD Leverage

Future Based CFD accounts use a flat 1:20 across all instruments, for both Instant and 1-Step accounts. No per-instrument table to memorise.

How to Read the Matrix

Two things to notice on CFD. First, forex leverage steps up on the multi-phase challenges (1:100 on 2-Step and 3-Step versus 1:30 on Instant and 1-Step). Second, crypto is 1:1 on every CFD account type. Leverage sets your position size ceiling, but your risk is still governed by the 2% per-trade cap and daily loss limits, so higher leverage does not mean you can risk more per trade.

Practical note: match your instrument choice to the leverage that suits your strategy, then size positions to your risk limits rather than to the maximum leverage available.
