XS.com offers dynamic leverage up to 2,000:1 in two models. Equity-based (EQ, MT5): FX majors and minors are 2,000:1 up to $3,000 of equity, then 1:1000, 1:500, 1:400, 1:200 and 1:100 above $100,000; gold is 2,000:1 up to $5,000. Lot-based (LT): FX majors and gold up to 1:2000, cut as your open lots per instrument grow. Stop-out is 20% on Standard (10% on Cent and Micro).
Two leverage models
XS’s dynamic leverage page offers:
- EQ (equity-based): leverage falls as account equity grows. MT5 only, all account types. Account names end in “EQ”.
- LT (lot-based): leverage falls as your net open lots per instrument grow, calculated separately for each symbol. MT4 and MT5, all types except Cent and Micro. Names end in “LT”.

Example
1 lot EUR/USD at 1.1000 is $110,000. With $2,000 equity on an EQ account, 2,000:1 means about $55 of margin; once equity passes $100,000 the same trade needs $1,100 at 1:100. Try the margin calculator.
