The maximum leverage for each asset class that OANDA (Europe) Limited can offer its retail clients is governed by the requirements of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). These restrictions do not apply to clients who are categorised as Professional, where OANDA (Europe) Limited determines the leverage that applies.
For retail clients, OANDA offers tiered margin rates governed by FCA requirements, ensuring a balance of capital efficiency (maximising returns while minimising the amount of capital required upfront, typically through trading options like leverage) and risk protection.

A pip, or percentage in point, is a unit of measurement used to track price movements in forex trading. For most currency pairs (such as EUR/USD), a single pip represents a movement in the fourth decimal place (0.0001, or one-hundredth of 1%). For Japanese Yen (JPY) pairs, a pip represents a movement in the second decimal place (0.01).
