Frequently Asked Questions
What is normal leverage for prop firms?
Forex prop firms: 1:50 to 1:100 on majors. Futures prop firms: effective leverage of 10:1 to 30:1 depending on contract and margin. Higher leverage is available but rarely optimal -- most professional traders use 2:1 to 10:1 effective leverage.
Does leverage affect the challenge pass rate?
High leverage makes it easier to hit profit targets quickly but also easier to blow past daily loss limits. Most failed challenges are due to overleverage + a bad day, not strategy failure. Treat the daily loss limit as your maximum leverage guide.
