Understanding Lirunex Leverage Options in Singapore
Our company offers Singapore-based traders variable leverage levels across forex and CFD instruments. Leverage can be set as high as 1:500 for major currency pairs, 1:200 for minor pairs, and 1:100 for exotic pairs. These options enable precise control over margin use while supporting effective risk management. The leverage mechanism is integrated within the MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms. Traders adjust leverage directly in the client portal once accounts are verified, with margins calculated dynamically per position size and selected leverage.
During volatile market conditions, our system automatically reduces leverage to protect accounts. This dynamic adjustment activates around economic releases and significant news events to mitigate exposure. Such risk controls are essential for maintaining account stability.
| Asset Class | Maximum Leverage | Margin Requirement | Minimum Position |
|---|---|---|---|
| Major Pairs | 1:500 | 0.2% | 0.01 lots |
| Minor Pairs | 1:200 | 0.5% | 0.01 lots |
| Exotic Pairs | 1:100 | 1.0% | 0.01 lots |
| Commodities | 1:100 | 1.0% | 0.01 lots |
| Indices | 1:200 | 0.5% | 0.01 lots |
Setting Up Leverage Parameters in Your Trading Account
Begin by logging into your Lirunex client portal with your registered details. Head to “Account Settings” and open the “Trading Parameters” tab. Here, select the leverage ratio suitable for your trading style from the listed options available for your account category.
Configuring Leverage in MetaTrader Platforms
Launch MT4 or MT5 and right-click a trading symbol to open its context menu. Choose “Specification” to review margin and leverage details for that instrument. For leverage adjustments, open the “Tools” menu, select “Options,” then navigate to the “Trade” tab. Modify default lot sizes and risk settings, which interact with your account leverage to define position sizing.
These steps ensure that leverage settings align with your preferences and risk thresholds.
Leverage Application Across Different Trading Instruments
Lirunex offers tailored leverage ratios based on the asset class to match volatility profiles. Forex major pairs have the highest leverage at 1:500, while commodities are limited to 1:100. This graduated approach balances potential gains with risk exposure.
Forex Currency Pairs Leverage Structure
Major pairs such as EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, and USD/CHF qualify for 1:500 leverage. Minor pairs like EUR/GBP, AUD/CAD, and NZD/JPY receive 1:200 leverage. Exotic pairs including USD/TRY, EUR/ZAR, and GBP/SEK are capped at 1:100 leverage.
Commodities and Indices Leverage Terms
Gold and silver maintain 1:100 leverage across all accounts. Oil contracts (WTI and Brent) have a lower maximum leverage of 1:50 due to their price fluctuations. Stock indices such as the S&P 500, NASDAQ, and FTSE 100 offer 1:200 leverage for enhanced trading scope.
Additional leverage limits include:
- Cryptocurrency pairs: max 1:10 leverage
- Single stocks: max 1:20 leverage
- Government bonds: 1:100 leverage
- Agricultural commodities: capped at 1:50 leverage
Risk Management Tools for Leveraged Trading
Our platform integrates essential risk controls for leveraged trading. Stop-loss orders close positions automatically at predefined loss thresholds. Take-profit orders lock in gains by exiting trades at set profit targets.
Margin Call and Stop-Out Protection
When account equity drops to 50% of required margin, a margin call is triggered. Notifications are sent via email and platform alerts, advising traders to add funds or reduce exposure. At 20% margin, the stop-out mechanism liquidates losing positions to safeguard remaining capital.
Negative balance protection shields your account from losses exceeding your balance during extreme market events. Our company absorbs such deficits, preventing additional charges.
Calculating Position Sizes with Lirunex Leverage
Position sizing depends on three variables: account balance, risk percentage, and leverage. First, calculate your maximum acceptable loss by multiplying your balance by risk percentage. Then, divide that figure by stop-loss distance in pips to determine lot size.
The formula is: Position Size = (Account Balance × Risk %) ÷ (Stop Loss Distance × Pip Value). Our platform includes a position size calculator that automates this process once trade parameters are input.
| Account Balance | Risk % | Stop Loss | Position Size | Required Margin |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $1,000 | 2% | 50 pips | 0.04 lots | $8 (1:500) |
| $5,000 | 1% | 30 pips | 0.17 lots | $17 (1:500) |
| $10,000 | 3% | 100 pips | 0.30 lots | $60 (1:500) |
Using the Built-in Position Calculator
Access the calculator via the “Tools” menu in MT4 or MT5. Enter your account currency, balance, and chosen risk percentage. Select the trading pair and specify stop-loss distance. The calculator outputs recommended position size and required margin instantly, aiding informed decision-making.

Practical Trading Examples with Lirunex Leverage
Example 1: With a $1,000 account and 1:500 leverage, risking 2% ($20) on EUR/USD with a 50-pip stop loss results in a 0.04 lots position size. Required margin is only $8, leaving ample buffer for other trades or market swings.
Example 2: For gold trading, a $5,000 account with 1:100 leverage and 1% risk ($50) on a 100-pip stop loss supports a 0.05 lots position. This uses a $50 margin, representing 1% of the balance.
- Calculate position size before opening trades
- Maintain sufficient margin buffers
- Utilize stop-loss orders to manage downside
- Monitor correlations across leveraged positions
- Adjust leverage in response to market volatility
