Based on my direct experience and a thorough examination of Hirose Financial, the highest leverage currently available for major forex pairs through their UK-regulated service is 1:30. This is consistent with the requirements imposed by the FCA, which prioritize client safety by limiting exposure and potential losses—something I value as a risk-conscious trader. The lower leverage may seem restrictive if you're used to higher ratios, but after years of trading, I've come to appreciate how this encourages more measured, well-managed risk. Regarding other asset types, in my review of their offering, Hirose Financial primarily supports trading forex pairs and gold. I haven't encountered significantly different leverage tiers for metals or other instruments within their main retail accounts—gold, for example, is also subject to the 1:30 maximum if trading via the FCA-regulated branch. If you're seeking extremely high leverage (for example, up to 1:500), such terms might only be found under offshore entities, but that carries a much higher risk, and I personally limit my activity to FCA or similarly regulated umbrellas. Being restricted to 1:30 leverage does limit aggressive strategies, but in my opinion as a seasoned trader, it provides a safer environment for most market participants. I strongly urge anyone considering higher leverage to carefully weigh the risks and ensure you fully understand the implications for your capital and overall trading sustainability.
