Is there a maximum trade size?

Last updated: 12 August 2026

As part of our efforts to promote responsible trading, there are certain restrictions on the size of each trade:

1) Each instrument has a maximum number of units permitted per position.

2) Each account has a maximum exposure (invested amount x leverage) permitted per leverage tier on each instrument. This is in place to help mitigate the risks of trading with high leverage.

If you are trying to open a position which would take your account’s net exposure in open positions beyond the permitted limit, you will receive the following error message: ’Unable to open position. Your exposure level with the selected leverage is too high. Try using lower leverage.’ You can try opening the position with a lower invested amount, or with lower leverage.
