As a retail client, you are entitled to the highest level of protection offered under the BMA regulatory framework. You will be able to trade on specific predefined degrees of leverage on different asset classes as required under the requirements set by the BMA.
You can adjust your leverage through ‘Settings’ > 'My accounts' > ‘Trading options’, although you will not be able to select higher than the maximum permitted leverage per asset class.
All relevant regulatory protections associated with a retail client categorisation will be afforded to you, and you will have the option to opt to be categorised as a professional client if you meet the eligibility criteria applicable to sophisticated private investors under BMA regulations.
