Calculate effective leverage
Trading tips
Effective vs offered leverage
Your broker may offer 1:500, but what matters is your effective leverage—total position value ÷ equity. Keep it under 10:1.
Leverage amplifies both ways
A 1% move in NAS100 at 100:1 leverage is a 100% account swing. Always calculate effective leverage before adding positions.
Reduce during news events
Before FOMC, CPI, or NFP releases, reduce your effective leverage. NAS100 can move 100+ points in seconds during these events.
Use leverage to size, not to gamble
Leverage should let you take properly-sized positions with less capital, not to take oversized positions for bigger gains.
