About leverage
At FXON, we offer high leverage options up to 1,000x to maximize trader investment efficiency. The greatest appeal of forex is the possibility of generating large profits with small capital, and high leverage is an essential element for this.
While some investors incorrectly interpret high leverage as increasing investment risk, forex is a financial product that allows for large investments with small capital, and FXON believes its greatest appeal lies in high-leverage investment, providing appropriate leverage levels that consider both traders' potential for high returns and safety.
What is the leverage effect?
The leverage effect refers to moving large objects with small force, analogous to the "principle of leverage." In forex and CFD trading, leverage is expressed as a numerical value (e.g., 1x or 100x) indicating how many times the effective margin you can trade.
The above figure shows a trade where the USD/JPY currency pair was bought at 150 JPY and profit was taken at 151 JPY. Let's look at how profits differ depending on leverage.
When trading with 1x leverage (no leverage), since you cannot trade more than your available capital, when the market moves 1 JPY, the profit becomes 10,000 JPY (1 JPY = 100 pips).

When trading with 1x leverage (no leverage), since you cannot trade more than your available capital, when the market moves 1 JPY, the profit becomes 10,000 JPY (1 JPY = 100 pips).
With 100x leverage, since you can trade 100 times your available capital, you can trade up to 1 million dollars worth, and compared to trading without leverage, you can potentially earn 100 times the profit, or 1 million yen. Similarly, with 500x leverage, you can potentially earn 5 million yen in profit.

With 100x leverage, since you can trade 100 times your available capital, you can trade up to 1 million dollars worth, and compared to trading without leverage, you can potentially earn 100 times the profit, or 1 million yen. Similarly, with 500x leverage, you can potentially earn 5 million yen in profit.
Thus, leverage is a very effective element for acquiring large profits when working with small available capital.
FXON's leverage features
At FXON, common leverage rules apply regardless of your trading history or account type. FXON adopts "variable leverage" where leverage changes based on the trading account's effective margin, and leverage is set according to the effective margin amount. The maximum configurable leverage is up to 1,000x for forex pairs and 10-50x for CFD trading (only metal CFDs up to 500x).
We have implemented a zero-cut system that resets negative balances if losses exceed the effective margin, ensuring that even if stop-loss orders cannot keep up with large market fluctuations, customers will never lose more than their available capital.
Variable leverage system
Variable leverage applies to currency pairs (major/minor) and metal CFDs. The maximum leverage is automatically calculated based on the effective margin balance displayed on the platform (MetaTrader client), and variable leverage applies to all held positions, so please manage your margin balance with sufficient buffers to respond to market fluctuations.
The maximum leverage for each product is as follows:

Maximum leverage 1,000x
FXON provides extremely high leverage of up to 1,000x for forex pairs (major/minor currencies) and up to 500x for metal CFDs.
When applying 1,000x leverage, you can trade 10 million yen worth with 10,000 yen margin, allowing you to manage very large positions with small capital. On the flip side, if you miscalculate effective margin or required margin, even small market movements can lead to capital loss, so the higher the leverage effect, the more important margin management becomes.
■ Margin calculation
Three values are required to calculate the required margin: "current price," "trading volume," and "leverage (ratio)." The formula for calculating required margin is as follows:
Current price
Trading volume
Leverage
Required margin
For example, when trading 1 lot (100,000 currency units)*1 of USD/JPY at 150.00 yen using maximum leverage of 1,000x, the margin calculation is:
150 JPY
Current price
100,000 units
Trading volume
1,000x
Leverage
15,000 JPY
Required margin
*1The trading unit of 1 lot for each of our accounts (Standard/Elite) is based on 100,000 currency units.
■ Trading amount calculation
To calculate the possible trading amount, multiply the total margin (available capital) by the leverage ratio and divide by the current exchange rate to get the total tradeable amount against total assets. For example, assuming a margin amount of 100,000 yen, applying maximum leverage of 1,000x, and USD/JPY at 150.00 yen, the tradeable amount calculation would be:
100,000 JPY
Margin
1,000x
Leverage
$1 = 150 JPY
Exchange rate (USD)

■ Leverage control
While using high leverage can increase investment efficiency, it also increases the risk of losses from small price movements. Therefore, when trading with high leverage, proper leverage control is crucial.
Leverage | Trading lot size | Profit/loss per 1 pip |
1,000x | 1 (100,000 currency units) |
±1,000 JPY |
100x | 0.1 (10,000 currency units) |
±100 JPY |
10x | 0.01 (1,000 currency units) |
±10 JPY |
As shown, as leverage multipliers increase, the impact on profit/loss per pip also increases.
While leverage trading allows for potential large profits with small capital, potential losses can exceed the deposited margin.
When using leverage trading, the maximum expected loss becomes larger compared to the investment ratio. Therefore, while it's possible to earn large profits with small funds, there is also an inherent possibility of losing the entire deposited funds.
Our company implements protective measures such as temporarily lowering leverage values to protect customer deposits from sudden market fluctuations, but please understand that the larger the leverage value, the greater the risk of losing deposited funds from small market movements.
