Drawing on my direct experience and a careful reading of Errante’s current offering, I can confirm that for major forex pairs, the highest leverage available is up to 1:500. This is relatively high by industry standards, and as someone who has traded for several years, I recognize both the attractive potential and the significant risks it presents. High leverage can amplify returns, but it equally magnifies losses, which is why I always approach such ratios with considerable caution. In my trading practice, I rarely use maximum leverage except in carefully controlled situations with strict stop-loss strategies. Leverage conditions at Errante do differ depending on the asset class. While 1:500 is offered for forex, leverage for other instruments—such as indices, metals, and especially cryptocurrencies—is often set at much lower levels. This is a standard practice across brokers due to increased inherent volatility and regulatory considerations for non-forex assets. For me, this means that if I want to diversify beyond major currency pairs into commodities or crypto, I prepare for tighter margin requirements and lower available leverage. Ultimately, my experience has shown that it’s essential not to base trading decisions solely on high leverage offerings, but rather to evaluate the risk management policies and the regulatory context of each broker, especially with Errante’s “offshore regulated” status in mind.
