Forex Brokers Offering 1:1000 Leverage or Higher

One hundred and fifteen brokers in the WIKILIX database record a maximum leverage of 1:1000 or higher and carry our regulation status label, meaning we hold no scam report or clone warning against them today. That is the complete set rather than a shortlist. The grid is ordered by WIKILIX score, running from StoneX at 85.7 down to President Securities Corporation at 22.1, with a median of 46.6.

Across the whole database, 355 brokers record leverage of 1:1000 or more. Only 115 reach this page. The other 240 are held back by a status label we have recorded against them or by a score below 20, and the near-miss section below says what those labels mean.

Where the boundary sits

The threshold is read from one field: the highest leverage WIKILIX holds for that broker. Entries run from a floor of exactly 1:1000 up to the 1:10000 recorded against CAPSTONE, and 21 of the 115 sit at 1:2000 or above. Anything below 1:1000 is out, which is why firms we record at 1:500, Pepperstone and FxPro among them, are absent even though both carry a clean label.

The second half of the boundary is that label. A broker recording 1:1000 that we have marked as a suspicious clone or as an unregulated operation is excluded by design, and so are three firms whose score sits under 20.

How we built this list

Three stored filters produce it: a maximum leverage of 1:1000 or higher, a status label of regulation, and a WIKILIX score of at least 20. Nothing is added by hand. A broker that raises its recorded leverage or loses its clean label joins or leaves without anyone editing this page. The WIKILIX score is our own composite, built from the licence records, the operating history and the trading conditions we hold on file. It measures what we can document, not service quality, and it is not a recommendation.

Who you expect to find here, and who is missing

Seventy of the 115 hold at least one licence from a tier-1 authority, and 24 hold one from the UK Financial Conduct Authority. That reads as a contradiction, because FCA rules cap retail forex leverage at 1:30 and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission applies the same ceiling. In practice it is not one. FXCM, Tickmill and IronFX each hold a tier-1 licence for one entity and offer the higher ratio through a separate company registered elsewhere. The licence and the leverage usually belong to two different legal entities, and the contract you sign decides which of them you are actually dealing with.

Sixty-two of the 115 are regulated by two or more authorities, which is exactly what makes that split possible. J.P. Morgan carries the oldest recorded opening date at 1799, StoneX dates to 1924 and Travelex to 1976, and 15 of the 115 opened before 2000. That age belongs to the group, not necessarily to the entity that would hold your deposit.

What this list does not tell you

It holds no spread data, no execution statistics and no minimum deposits, so nothing here ranks brokers on cost. It also cannot tell you whether any of these firms accepts clients from where you live, because the database records where a company is domiciled and which licences it holds, never who it onboards. Before an account, a few checks are worth the time:

• Look up the licence number on the regulator's own register rather than on the broker's website.
• Confirm the legal entity named on your client agreement is the same one holding that licence.
• Check which entity the 1:1000 offer actually comes from, since a tier-1 licensed arm cannot legally provide it to retail clients.
• Work out the margin call distance at your intended size before funding anything, because at 1:1000 a move of a tenth of a percent against a fully leveraged position wipes out the margin behind it.
