You can’t manually adjust the leverage on your Deriv MT5 account. Leverage is fixed and determined by the asset you trade.

Different assets carry different levels of volatility and risk, so each one has a predefined default leverage. This ensures a structured approach to margin requirements and helps maintain responsible risk management across markets.

Remember, leverage magnifies both potential profits and potential losses. A higher leverage means you can control a larger position with a smaller deposit, but it also increases your exposure. Always review the leverage conditions of the asset before trading so you understand how it impacts your position size and risk.
