How the desk checks this: figures are taken from each broker’s public terms and licensing pages and the live client area. Leverage marked * is capped for retail clients by FCA, ASIC or ESMA (typically 30:1). The headline number is the broker’s offshore maximum. Where a figure cannot be confirmed it is marked to verify with the broker. Disclosure: the desk earns a commission on Blueberry, VT Markets, Star Trader and Fusion Markets at no cost to you. Nothing here is a guarantee or financial advice and trading carries risk. Full methodology ›
