Fixed Leverage up to 1:10000
No News or Weekend Cuts

Your leverage is set by your deposit and then stays fixed. It doesn’t change for news releases, weekend gaps, account growth, trading losses or the instrument you trade. Choose any setting up to your tier’s maximum, and it stays exactly where you put it.

Maximum Leverage

Which leverage do
I get for my deposit?

Your maximum leverage is set by your qualifying deposit. You can pick any setting up to that maximum, from 1:1 upward, and change it yourself at any time in your client area.

Qualifying deposit (USD)	Maximum fixed leverage	Stop-out
$50 – $99	1:100	20%
$100 – $199	1:500	20%
$200 – $999	1:1,000	30%
$1,000 – $1,999	1:2,000	30%
$2,000 – $2,999	1:4,000	50%
$3,000 – $3,999	1:5,000	50%
$4,000 – $4,999	1:7,000	50%
$5,000 and above	1:10,000	50%

Qualifying deposit = total deposits minus withdrawals of deposited funds. Withdrawing profits does not reduce it.
Bonus credit is not counted. Maximum position sizes apply at the 1:4,000 – 1:10,000 tiers: [X] lots per order and [Y] lots open per account.

Applies to: all 66 forex pairs, 47 indices, 629 stock CFDs, 46 commodities and metals, 21 crypto CFDs, 24 ETFs and 4 bonds, on AlFX, FxyFi and Act.

What does fixed leverage mean at Capital Street FX?

Fixed means the conditions you trade under are published in advance and do not move. Many brokers use dynamic leverage: they lower it automatically before news, ahead of weekends, as your balance grows or on certain instruments. We don’t.

Leverage changes

When can my leverage change?

1
You change it. Choose any setting up to your tier’s maximum in your client area.
2
You withdraw deposited funds below your tier. For example, if you deposit $5,000 and later withdraw $4,500 of it, your qualifying deposit becomes $500 and your account moves to the 1:1,000 tier. You’ll see the new leverage on screen before you confirm the withdrawal, and the change only applies when you have no open positions.
3
A restricted trading practice is confirmed on your account. See “Restricted trading practices” below.

Can I move up a tier?

Yes. Deposit enough to reach the next threshold and your maximum leverage rises to that tier. Withdrawing profits never moves you down.

How much margin do I need at 1:10,000?

Margin is the amount set aside to open a position: position value ÷ leverage. For 1 standard lot of EUR/USD at 1.1220 (position value $112,200):

Leverage margin and pip value

Leverage	Margin for 1 lot EUR/USD
1:100	$1,122.00
1:500	$224.40
1:1,000	$112.20
1:2,000	$56.10
1:5,000	$22.44
1:10,000	$11.22

Margin call and stop-out

How do margin call and stop-out work?

We use the standard calculation:

Margin level = EquityUsed margin × 100

Margin call at 100%: you’re notified that your equity has fallen to the level of your used margin.
Stop-out at 20%, 30% or 50% (by tier, see table above): positions are closed automatically, starting with the largest losing position, until the margin level is back above the stop-out level.
Equity excludes bonus credit. Stop-out levels never change for news, weekends or gaps.

Leverage Terms — Capital Street FX

Leverage Terms and Conditions — Capital Street FX

Applicable to: all trading accounts.

These terms form part of, and should be read together with, the Capital Street FX General Terms and Conditions.

Definitions

Qualifying deposit: the total of all deposits made to the trading account, minus all withdrawals of deposited funds. Withdrawals of realised trading profit are not deducted. Bonus credit is not included.
Tier: the leverage band assigned to an account based on its qualifying deposit, as set out in section 2.
Margin level: equity divided by used margin, multiplied by 100. Equity for this purpose excludes bonus credit [confirm].
Restricted practice: any trading practice listed in section 7.

Leverage assignment

Each account is assigned a maximum leverage according to its qualifying deposit:

Qualifying deposit (USD)	Maximum leverage	Margin call	Stop-out
$50 – $99	1:100	100%	20%
$100 – $199	1:500	100%	20%
$200 – $999	1:1,000	100%	30%
$1,000 – $1,999	1:2,000	100%	30%
$2,000 – $2,999	1:4,000	100%	50%
$3,000 – $3,999	1:5,000	100%	50%
$4,000 – $4,999	1:7,000	100%	50%
$5,000 and above	1:10,000	100%	50%

The client may select any leverage up to the tier maximum and may change it at any time through the client area. The selected leverage applies to new positions and remains in effect until the client changes it or section 5.2 applies.
Where the client selects leverage below the tier maximum, the stop-out level shown for the tier continues to apply.
The tier maximum applies to all instruments offered on AltX, FxyFi and Act, including forex, indices, commodities and metals, cryptocurrency CFDs, ETFs, bonds and stock CFDs [list any exceptions].
Further deposits that raise the qualifying deposit to a higher tier entitle the client to that tier's maximum leverage [automatically / on request].

Withdrawals and tier changes

A withdrawal that reduces the qualifying deposit below the current tier threshold moves the account to the tier matching the new qualifying deposit.
Before such a withdrawal is confirmed, the client will be shown the resulting tier and maximum leverage.
A withdrawal that would change the tier will be processed only when the account has no open positions [or: the new leverage applies to new positions only; open positions keep their existing margin until closed].
Withdrawals of realised profit do not reduce the qualifying deposit and do not change the tier.

Margin call and stop-out

A margin call notification is issued when the margin level reaches 100%.
When the margin level falls to the stop-out level for the account's tier (section 2.1), open positions are closed automatically, starting with the position carrying the largest floating loss, until the margin level is restored above the stop-out level.
Positions are closed at the next available market price. In fast markets or at market gaps, this may be worse than the price at which the stop-out level was reached.
Negative balance protection applies to all accounts. Any negative balance resulting from a stop-out is reset to zero, except where it results from a restricted practice under section 7.

Example: account at the 1:10,000 tier (stop-out 50%), balance $5,000, holding 10 lots of EUR/USD at 1.1220. Used margin is $112.20. Stop-out occurs when equity falls to $56.10, a loss of $4,943.90 or about 49 pips.

Fixed conditions

In normal and volatile markets, the leverage and stop-out level applicable to an account will not be changed by the Company because of scheduled or unscheduled news, economic releases or central bank decisions; market opening, closing or rollover; weekends, holidays or market gaps; increases or decreases in account balance or equity resulting from trading; the instrument or asset class traded; or the number or size of open positions within the limits in section 6, subject only to sections 5.3–5.5.
The maximum leverage of an account changes only: (a) when the client changes it under section 2.2; (b) when a withdrawal changes the tier under section 3; (c) when temporary measures are applied under section 5.5 for an Extraordinary Event described in section 5.3; or (d) when a remedy under section 8 is applied following a confirmed restricted practice under section 7 or abuse of leverage under section 7.4.
Extraordinary Events. No guarantee that leverage, stop-out levels or position limits can be held during listed events outside your control. The list covers exchange halts, a liquidity provider failing or pulling liquidity, government or regulatory action, war or cyber-attack, and system failures you didn’t cause.
Not covered. Ordinary volatility, news releases, central bank decisions, weekends, holidays and gaps are explicitly not Extraordinary Events, so your “no news or weekend cuts” promise stays true.
What you may do and how you’ll tell clients. Temporary measures limited to the affected instruments, with notice in advance where possible (otherwise as soon as practicable), and standard conditions restored afterwards.

Position limits

For accounts at the 1:4,000, 1:5,000, 1:7,000 and 1:10,000 tiers, the maximum position size is [X] lots per order and [Y] lots in total open positions per account.
These limits are published, apply at all times and do not change for news, weekends or market gaps. They are position-size limits and not a reduction of leverage.

Restricted trading practices

The following practices are prohibited on all accounts using leverage under these terms:
1. Scalping: trades closed within 0–30 minutes with a price movement of less than 20 pips, assessed under section 7.2.
2. Hedging: holding opposite positions on the same or correlated instruments, within one account or across accounts.
3. High-Frequency Trading (HFT).
4. Expert Advisors and automated trading: trading by EAs, bots or any automated system.
5. Arbitrage (all types).
6. Latency arbitrage.
7. News and event arbitrage.
8. Swap and rollover arbitrage.
9. Volume manipulation and volume spikes.
10. Pairs and spread trading.
11. Corporate action exploits, including splits and dividends.
12. Bonus and drawdown exploits, including artificial drawdowns.
13. Gap trading around session events: concentrated or systematic trading, positioning or volume spikes intended to trade price gaps related to session opening, closing or rollover, including weekends, daily close, holidays, thin markets and any other events that can cause anomalous price gaps.

Scalping is assessed according to the share of the account's trading volume that is short-term:

Scalping volume	Assessment criteria
More than 20%	Full filter: closed within 30 minutes and moved less than 20 pips
10% – 20%	Median filter: closed within 15 minutes and moved less than 10 pips
10% or less	Minimum filter: closed within 320 seconds and moved less than 6 pips

Restricted practices apply whether carried out manually, by software, through copy trading, or across multiple accounts held by the same client or by connected persons.
Abuse of leverage. Trading designed to exploit fixed leverage, fixed stop-outs or negative balance protection beyond the 13 listed practices in section 7.1. This includes coordinated opposite positions across accounts and depositing and withdrawing repeatedly to move between tiers. Confirmed abuse gets the existing section 8 remedies.

Monitoring and enforcement

Capital Street FX reviews trading activity for restricted practices, repeated patterns, and the timing of trades relative to news, volatility and session events.

Where a restricted practice under section 7 or abuse of leverage under section 7.4 is confirmed, the following remedies apply, based on the share of the account's volume found in breach:

Violation volume	Action taken
5% or more	Formal warning; leverage reduced to 1:100; profits from the restricted trades removed
10% or more	Leverage reduced to 1:50; profits from the restricted trades removed
20% or more	Account closed; deposit returned; bonus and profits revoked

The client will be notified in writing of any remedy applied, with the trades concerned. The client may request a review within [14] days by contacting [support/compliance address].

Bonus accounts

Bonus credit does not count toward the qualifying deposit and does not change the account's tier.
Accounts receiving a bonus are subject to these terms and to the applicable bonus terms. Where they conflict, the bonus terms apply to the bonus credit only.

Company rights and liability

Capital Street FX makes the final determination of whether a restricted practice has occurred, subject to the review process in section 8.3.
Changes to these terms, including tier thresholds, leverage levels, stop-out levels and position limits, will be published on this page with at least [30] days' notice before taking effect, except where required by law or a regulator.
Capital Street FX is not responsible for losses resulting from stop-outs executed in accordance with section 4, or from remedies applied under section 8.

Acknowledgment

By opening or using a trading account, the client confirms that they have read, understood and accepted these Leverage Terms and Conditions, and understand that trading with high leverage carries a high risk of losing their entire deposit.

Frequently Asked Question's

Find quick and reliable answers to your most commonly asked questions here.

It means each $1 of margin controls $10,000 of position value. At Capital Street FX, 1:10,000 is the maximum fixed leverage for accounts with a qualifying deposit of $5,000 or more.

A qualifying deposit of $5,000 or more. Smaller deposits qualify for lower fixed tiers, from 1:100 at $50 up to 1:7,000 at $4,000–$4,999.

No. Your leverage and stop-out level stay the same before, during and after every news release, including NFP, FOMC, CPI and central bank decisions.

No. Leverage on open positions is the same at the Friday close, over the weekend, at the Monday open and through market gaps.

No. Leverage is set by your qualifying deposit, not your balance, so trading profits and losses never change it.

Withdrawing profits never changes it. If you withdraw deposited funds and your qualifying deposit falls below your tier, your account moves to the matching lower tier. You'll see the new leverage before confirming, and it applies only when you have no open positions.

Margin call is at 100% margin level for every tier. Stop-out is 20% for tiers up to 1:500, 30% for 1:1,000–1:2,000 and 50% for 1:4,000–1:10,000. These levels never change.

Scalping, hedging, high-frequency trading, Expert Advisors and automated trading, all types of arbitrage (including latency, news/event and swap/rollover), volume manipulation, pairs and spread trading, corporate action exploits, bonus and drawdown exploits, and gap trading around session open, close, rollover, weekends and holidays. See the full list and how each is assessed above.

Yes. Accounts using the 1:4,000 to 1:10,000 leverage tiers are limited to a maximum of 10 lots per order and 300 open positions per account. These limits are fixed and published; they are not leverage reductions.

Leverage Disclaimer

Extraordinary events

Leverage stays fixed in normal and volatile markets, including news releases, weekends and gaps. In rare events outside our control, such as an exchange halt, the failure of a liquidity provider, the removal of a currency peg or a regulatory order, we may temporarily adjust leverage or margin on the instruments affected. We’ll tell you what changed and restore standard conditions once the event ends. Leverage may also be reduced if a restricted practice or abuse of leverage is confirmed on your account.
