Leverage is automatically applied based on the instrument being traded and cannot be changed by the trader. BTC and ETH offer up to 5x leverage, enabling higher notional exposure relative to account balance. All other tradable assets offer up to 2x leverage. These leverage limits apply universally across all evaluation types and remain constant throughout the Breakout Evaluation.

Traders should remain mindful that leverage magnifies both gains and losses. Because all equity limits—such as maximum daily loss and maximum drawdown—are calculated in real time against equity, the added volatility from highly leveraged positions can accelerate the risk of breaching an account’s limits. Understanding how leverage interacts with market volatility and liquidity is essential for maintaining compliance with Terminator Trader’s risk parameters.
