Where is the leverage for Symbol?
15 Jan 2020, 12:12

This page (https://help.ctrader.com/ctrader/trading/dynamic-leverage) says each Symbol has its own leverage.

I see in the API though that the "ProtoOATrader" has a "maxLeverage", but the "ProtoOASymbol" does not have any leverage information.

Isn't it possible to get the Symbol's leverage?

And that calculations in that page also show that up to 1 million the leverage is 500, after that the leverage is 200. Where does that come from?

Thanks,

Douglas.

Hi Douglas,

Symbol leverage is not available via Open API at the moment. If you need it to calculate the expected margin, you can use ProtoOAExpectedMarginReq.

Thank you @Panagiotis. I am trying to implement a backtesting mechanism though, so I wouldn't be able to call the server to calculate this. Would there be some other way?

Hi Douglas,

Unfortunately no. I will discuss this with the product team to see if it can be added in future updates of the API.
