Whether account leverage can be changed depends on your platform, account and ThinkMarkets entity.
ThinkTrader accounts
ThinkTrader clients cannot manually select a different maximum account leverage under the current account configuration.
Where dynamic leverage applies, effective leverage is determined automatically according to the product and position-size tier.
MT4 and MT5 accounts
Eligible MetaTrader clients may be able to request a leverage change.
The account normally needs to have no open positions before the leverage change can be processed.
To request a change:
- submit a leverage-change request through ThinkPortal or Client Support;
- provide the relevant trading account number;
- provide the requested leverage; and
- close open positions if required.
The requested leverage cannot override:
- regulatory leverage restrictions;
- product-specific leverage caps; or
- dynamic-leverage rules.
