MT5 Cryptocurrency Leverage:

On the 5 major cryptocurrency pairs, clients can trade with up to 100:1 leverage and 20:1 on everything else. This structure is based upon the Net-Open-Position (“NOP”) of each client’s account. Once the NOP in each cryptocurrency exceeds 1 lot, the margin requirement on risk-adding trades in that instrument only will be executed at a leverage of 10:1. The higher margin requirement (i.e., lower leverage) only applies to trades executed where the NOP is greater than 1 lot; the initial trades are not affected. This is only applicable to traders on the MT5 platform.
