The leverage effect in futures is the original mechanism of futures trading, that is, the margin system. It can enlarge the trading volume of investors, and at the same time increase the risks borne by investors many times. Simply put, leverage is to enlarge the winning and losing times, so how many times is the futures leverage at most?

The leverage of each futures product is different. For example, the margin rate of commodity futures is generally 8%- 15%, and the corresponding leverage is 6- 15 times. The leverage of stock index futures in financial futures is 5 times, the leverage of treasury bonds futures can reach 50 times, and the leverage of crude oil futures can reach 20 times.

The calculation method of leveraged futures is 1÷ margin. For example, if the margin ratio of commodity futures is 15%, then the futures leverage is 1÷ 15%=6.67 times.

It is worth mentioning that many futures companies control the leverage ratio of accounts in order to prevent and control risks when opening accounts.
