UZO accounts trade at 1:100 leverage across the board. This applies to One Step, Two Step, Instant, Instant Pro, and Instant 24h alike. There are no separate leverage tiers to choose between and nothing to configure: when your account is issued, it is already set to 1:100.

Leverage simply lets a given amount of capital control a larger position than the capital alone would buy. With 1:100, the margin required to open a position is one one-hundredth of its notional value. The rest of the position is supported by the leverage.

The clearest way to read 1:100 is as a buying-power multiplier and as a margin requirement. Each dollar of balance backs up to $100 of market exposure, and each position locks up 1% of its notional value as margin.

Reading that as a single trade: a $100,000 position needs roughly $1,000 of margin to open. The figures above show the ceiling on exposure, not a target. Using all of it at once is rarely wise, because the same leverage that magnifies a gain magnifies a loss at the same rate.

Your trading platform calculates the exact margin and remaining buying power live, since it depends on the instrument and the current price. Margin on metals, crypto, indices, stocks, and energies can differ from forex, so always confirm the requirement shown for the specific symbol before you size a trade. The real-time numbers on your dashboard and order ticket are the source of truth.

1:100 does not change as your account grows. Whether you are on a small evaluation or a scaled funded account, the leverage stays exactly the same. When your balance scales up through the program (for example $100K to $200K to $500K to $1M), your buying power grows because your balance grew, not because the leverage changed.

This keeps the math predictable. A position that is correctly sized on a $50,000 account scales cleanly to a $500,000 account, because the leverage ratio behind both is identical.

This is the part that matters most for keeping an account. Leverage works in both directions. The larger the position you open, the faster your equity moves on every tick, up and down. A heavily leveraged position can run you into a daily or maximum drawdown limit in a single fast move.

Your drawdown limits are fixed for your account type and are not affected by how much leverage you use. Available leverage is not permission to use all of it. The traders who pass and stay funded almost always size well below the ceiling, so that one bad trade cannot end the account. Remember the honest reality: most evaluations do not pass, and oversized positions are a leading reason why.
