As someone who’s traded with several brokers over the years, I always take a close look at leverage as part of my risk management. With uSMART Group, the maximum leverage available is 1:3, and this applies to their margin accounts, including forex trading. That level of leverage is quite conservative in the context of the wider forex industry, where ratios of 1:30 or even 1:500 are not uncommon. For me, the 1:3 leverage cap means I cannot magnify my trading positions as aggressively, which does reduce both the potential for rapid gains and the risk of steep losses. This is particularly pertinent for retail traders, as high leverage can quickly erode a trading account during volatile moves. What’s consistent across uSMART’s product range is that this 1:3 leverage applies to margin trading for equities and options as well—not just forex. They’ve prioritized a cautious approach, which I tend to appreciate when dealing with client funds and a relatively new platform. Ultimately, while the lower leverage might feel limiting for some strategies, the policy protects clients from taking on excessive risk. In my view, uSMART’s leverage structure underscores their focus on regulatory compliance and client safety rather than speculative opportunities. For traders like me who prioritize capital preservation and transparency over aggressive risk, this can be a prudent environment.
