Leverage
FLEXI Leverage is
completely new to currency trading and offered by ApexForex.
FLEXI Leverage is in addition to our FLEXI Contract, which
allows currency traders to choose a contract size that best
suits their trading style. The bottom-line is clear: We give
you the flexibility to trade currency the way you want to
trade.
As examples of this enhanced flexibility, traders that
deposit $1,000 of initial equity and select 100:1 Leverage
will be able to make an initial currency trade of up to
$100,000. Traders that deposit $1,000 of initial equity and
select 400:1 Leverage will be able to make an initial
currency trade of $400,000. (If a Leverage Level is not
selected, the client’s account is automatically assigned a
leverage of 100:1).
ApexForex asks that you consider the risks associated with
increasing your leverage. A relatively small market movement
will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you
have deposited or will have to deposit, this may work
against you as well as for you. Increased leverage results in increased risk. You may sustain a total loss
of initial margin and you may be required to deposit
additional funds to cover a short margin position.
FLEXI-Leverage is available for self-traded accounts only
(does not apply to managed accounts).

Contract Size
The Flexi Contract concept has been
developed by ApexForex to accommodate our smaller margin
deposit accounts. These
smaller contracts also allow bigger traders more flexibility
in their Forex
trading by allowing them to tailor the size of their
position. Now you can make your 1 lot trade equal to
any of the following amounts: 1,000, 5,000 10,000, 50,000,
or 100,000 units per lots. The choice is yours.
1k Flexi Contract = 1,000
Units (Flexi Contract)
5k Flexi Contract = 5,000 Units (Flexi Contract)
10k Flexi Contract = 10,000 Units (Mini Contract)
50k Flexi Contract = 50,000 Units (Flexi Contract)
100k Flexi Contract = 100,000 Units (Standard Contract)
The table below shows the margin required for each contract
size in the major currency pairs. For this example, we
are using spot rates of 1.2100 for EUR/USD and 1.7220 for
GBP/USD. In a live account, the margin required* for
each non-dollar based currency pair will be revalued to the
current market price for that pair.
