Leverage is set per regulated entity, not per brand: the same broker may advertise 30:1 under one licence and several hundred to one under another. The figures below are what each broker advertises for each of its entities. Read them against the statutory limits further down — the tightest limit that applies to the entity which onboards you is the one you get.
Who is on this page: Every broker record with a checked leverage table, showing the maximum it advertises per regulated entity.
Ordered by how much of the broker's own published terms we have checked, then alphabetically — this is not a quality ranking.
27 of the 198 broker records we hold qualify for this page. 27 of 198 brokers on record have had their advertised leverage table checked.

It depends entirely on where you live. Retail caps are 30:1 in the UK and Australia, 20:1 in Singapore and 50:1 in the USA. Offering above those to residents of those countries requires an offshore entity, with the loss of protection that implies.
It increases position size for a given deposit, which scales gains and losses equally while leaving costs and slippage unchanged. It does not improve the strategy underneath.
At 500:1, a 0.2% move against a fully leveraged position is a total loss — well inside the normal daily range of most major pairs, and inside a single minute during a news release.
Often not. It is mandatory for retail accounts under the FCA and ASIC, but the offshore entities that offer very high leverage frequently exclude it, which means a gap through your stop can leave you owing money.
The first 5 of the 27 brokers above whose own published terms we hold, in the order of the list — the table stops at 5. The terms we hold for the other 22 are on their cards above. A cell reading not checked means nobody has read that figure off the broker's pages yet — it is not a finding that the broker lacks it.

Each summary below is generated from the records on this page and nothing else.
The leverage figures below are per REGULATED ENTITY, transcribed from the page the broker advertises them on, on the date shown — not per brand, because the same broker commonly advertises 30:1 under one licence and several hundred to one under another. Beside each one is the statutory retail cap that regulator's own rules impose, taken from the rulebook; a regulator we have not recorded a limit for is left blank, never marked unlimited. Whether negative balance protection survives at the top tier is not a field our records carry.
Our research hub holds 198 broker records for this site. Of the 43 registrations listed above, 36 were read on the regulator's own public register on the date shown. Of the rest, 7 are on record and not yet confirmed on a register — the label beside each one says which. Each one links to the register entry. The 61 figures on this page beyond those registrations were transcribed from a page the broker publishes them on, and each one links to that page with the date somebody read it. Where a date is old, treat the figure as old — brokers change pricing and licences without telling us.
High leverage is a margin-efficiency tool for traders who size positions off risk, not off available margin. If the leverage is changing your position size, it is working against you.
