Leverage: a definition
Leverage is when you initiate a transaction without needed the full amount of money. You make a small deposit (called the margin) and you are allowed to trade with a larger amount of money.
GFT offers up to 400:1 leverage. This means that if you have a deposit of $2,500 (the minimum for a regular forex trading account), you would be able to work with up to $1 million.
