Exness offers unlimited leverage on select major and minor forex pairs through its global entity. This is available to traders who open accounts under its international licences, not through its UAE-regulated entity. DFSA regulated brokers apply more conservative leverage limits for retail traders, in line with international standards. CMA-regulated brokers on the UAE mainland allow leverage up to 1:500 for retail clients, which is far below what Exness offers through its offshore entities.

Unlimited leverage sounds appealing but it cuts both ways. A position that goes against you can wipe an account far faster than standard leverage. Most experienced traders use far less leverage than the maximum available.

If leverage is your main priority, Exness or a CMA-regulated broker may suit your trading style. If fund protection and regulatory oversight matter more, lean towards DFSA.
