Trading is risky. Your capital is at risk.

When you're entering a trade, you might often wonder: "What is the maximum volume I can trade?". It is important to know about any limitations associated with your trading strategy, especially in forex and CFDs like indices and commodities. Maximum Trading Volume (volume per order and volume of all trades) is the most you can trade at once. This limitation can be capped by order, instrument type, or an account. This matters for how you plan your trades and manage risks. Check out the table below to see the limits for Metatrader 4 and Metatrader 5:
