Forex Leverage Explained
What is Forex Leverage?
Forex Leverage is defined as the use of borrowed capital, such as “margin” allowing the Forex trader to gain access to larger sums of capital. This can heighten profits and losses and should be used wisely.
Examples of Forex Leverage
Forex Trader A has $5,000 USD:
If Forex Trader A has an account leverage of 10:1and they wish to use $1,000 on one Forex trade as margin, they will have exposure of $10,000 in base currency ($1000) = 10 x $1,000 = $10,000 (trade value).
Forex Trader B has $5,000 USD:
If Forex Trader B has an account leverage of 100:1and they wish to use $1,000 on one Forex trade as margin, they will have exposure of $100,000 in base currency ($1,000) = 100 x $1,000 = $100,000 (trade value).

What Leverage does Liquidity offer?
The Liquidity’s standard Forex leverage starts at 100:1. The maximum Forex leverage Liquidity may offer is up to 400:1. This is only for approved accounts and funds approved for leverage greater than 100:1 will be limited.
If you wish to get access to higher Forex leverage, please note this on the application or contact us. By submitting an increase in trade leverage request, you accept that this can result in high risk and severe or total account loss. The Liquidity is a non-advisory Forex broker and will not provide you with investment or personal trading advice.
Margin Forex is very high risk and leverage should be used wisely.

Forex Slippage Explained
What is Forex slippage?
When you’re trading Forex, sometimes you’ll notice a slight difference between the price you expect and the execution price (the price when the FX trade is completed). When this happens, it’s known as slippage. It’s a common thing to experience as a Forex trader and it can work either positively or negatively.
The main reasons for slippage are Forex market volatility and execution speeds. When a market experiences high volatility it generally means there’s low liquidity and market prices fluctuate very quickly. Where this affects Forex traders is when there’s not enough FX liquidity to fill an order at the requested price. When this happens, the liquidity provider will complete the trade at the next best price.
Another cause for slippage is execution speed. This is how fast your Electronic Communication Network (ECN) can complete your trade at the price you want it to. With market prices changing in fractions of a second, having faster execution times can make a difference, especially on large trades.
Examples of Forex Slippage
Say that the price of the AUD/USD was 0.9010. After analysing the market, you speculate that it’s on an upward trend and long a one standard lot trade at the now current price of AUD/USD 0.9050, expecting to execute at the same price of 0.9050.
The market follows the trend but goes past your execution price and up to 0.9060 very quickly – within a second. Because your expected price of 0.9050 is not available in the market, you’re offered the next best available price. For the sake of the example, that price is 0.9045. In this case, you would experience positive slippage:
0.9050 – 0.9045 = 0.0005, or +5 pips.
On the other hand, let’s say your trade was executed at 0.9055. You would then experience negative slippage:
0.9050 – 0.9045 = 0.0005, or +5 pips.
It’s important to note that slippage can occur with all types of requested orders including Stop Loss, Take Profit, Buy/Sell Stops and Buy/Sell Limit Orders. As The Liquidity uses market execution, we cannot guarantee such orders.
We operate under Market Execution and for this reason, we are unable to fill a Forex order that no longer exists. If your requested price is no longer available, your order will be filled by our FX liquidity providers at the going market rate.

Tight Spreads & Live Forex Spreads
A spread is essentially the difference between the bid and the ask price. As traders always trade one currency for another, Forex currencies are often quoted based on the current price compared to the other. To make things easy, they are written in pairs. E.g. AUD/USD (Australian Dollar/US Dollar) – AUD is the ‘base currency’ and USD is the ‘counter’. If it takes $1.5 AUD to buy $1 USD, this would be written as 1.5/1.
Get some of the lowest spreads in the industry when you choose to open and trade on a Vantage RAW ECN account. Trade on institutional grade liquidity that is sourced directly from some of the world’s biggest banks without any mark-up applied at our end. This liquidity and access to tight spreads for as low as zero, is no longer just the domain of hedge funds.
