Trading Conditions & Platforms
What is the maximum leverage at EC Markets?
The current leverage page on ecmarkets.com lists leverage of up to 1:1000, but leverage varies by instrument and by the applicable entity. The Australian page lists different retail leverage limits, so 1:1000 should not be taken as applying to clients globally.

Are EC Markets spreads fixed?
The official site describes spreads as starting "from" a given level, for example 1.0 pip on STD and from 0.0 pip on ECN and PRO. This is a starting spread and does not mean it is fixed at all times or for all instruments.
