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 Futures keeps it simple. Here is the full matrix.
CFD Leverage by Instrument
| Instrument | Instant | 1-Step | 2-Step | 3-Step |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Forex | 1:30 | 1:30 | 1:100 | 1:100 |
| Indices | 1:5 | 1:5 | 1:15 | 1:15 |
| Commodities | 1:7.5 | 1:10 | 1:15 | 1:15 |
| Metals | 1:7.5 | 1:5 | 1:10 | 1:10 |
| Crypto | 1:1 | 1:1 | 1:1 | 1:1 |
Futures Leverage
Futures 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.
