Trading JPN225 with Leverage

The Nikkei 225, or JPN225, is Japan's premier stock index, representing top-performing companies and available for trading on eToro. Leverage is a key feature here, allowing you to amplify your buying power. This means you can open a larger position in the JPN225 index than your invested capital would typically allow, giving you greater market exposure.

 

Leverage: A Tool for the Cautious Trader

It's important to remember that while leverage can potentially increase the returns on your investments, it also raises the stakes significantly. Leverage can greatly magnify losses, so it's crucial to employ it with caution and a clear understanding of the risks involved.

 

Available Leverage for Nikkei 225 Index

The leverage you can utilize for the eToro Nikkei 225 index is contingent upon the eToro entity with which your account is registered. This is specified in the Terms and Conditions at the time of your account registration.

For retail clients associated with eToro (Europe) Ltd, eToro (UK) Ltd, or eToro AUS Capital Limited, leverage options for the JPN225 range from X1 to X20, reflecting its status as a major index. Clients of eToro (Seychelles) Ltd have a broader range, with leverage options extending to X1, X2, X5, X10, X20, X50, and even X100.
