BlogDo high leverage forex brokers exist?
Yes, mostly in offshore jurisdictions. They can offer leverage up to 1:2000. However, regulators in major jurisdictions restrict leverage to protect retail clients (e.g., 1:30 in the EU/UK). Use high leverage cautiously due to intense risk of rapid capital loss.
