Double Leverage explained

Currently, Saxo Bank offers 20:1 leverage on Index-tracking CFDs, meaning if an investor buys, for instance, 50 DAX® Index-tracking CFDs at 6300, then their collateral requirement will be approximately EUR 15,750 or 5%.

With Double Leverage, an investor can buy 50 DAX® Index-tracking CFDs at 6300, and your collateral requirement would be approximately EUR 7,875 or 2.5%.

NOTE THAT WITH DOUBLE LEVERAGE YOU HAVE AN INCREASED EXPOSURE TO RISK.
