What leverage means, and where the cap comes from

Leverage lets a position be larger than the money behind it: at 1:30, Sau1,000 of your own holds a Sau30,000 position. It multiplies the result in both directions, and the loss is the half people discover second.

The number a broker advertises belongs to the ENTITY that onboards you, not to the brand. The same name can offer 1:30 through a locally licensed company and 1:500 through an offshore one, and which you get depends on where you live - so the broker pages here name the entity beside the figure.

The ten below publish the highest retail leverage available to residents of Saudi Arabia. A high cap is a fact about the entity, not a recommendation.

Affiliate links: we earn a commission; it never changes scores or order. CFDs are high-risk and leverage can lose you money rapidly.

Ten are shown; the button opens the rest.

"group" marks a figure the broker publishes for the group rather than for this country. It is shown because the broker states it, and it is not ranked, averaged or used to sort.

— the broker does not publish this figure; it is not read as a zero and it is not scored.

FxPro publishes a retail leverage of 1:500 without naming the entity that grants it, so the figure is marked group and left out of the leverage ranking and median.

The ten above illustrate the term. Highest-leverage brokers in Saudi Arabia lists every broker that qualifies, with the figure each one publishes.

Identical for every row, so it is stated once: Who onboards Local · CMA · Swap-free fee none, no limit · SAR account Yes.

How to read the ten below

Start with the figure this page ranks on.
Every row here is ordered by computed score, highest first; unscored brokers follow. A broker that publishes no figure is shown without one rather than guessed at.
Check which company would onboard you.
The same brand can take a resident of Saudi Arabia through a locally licensed entity or an offshore one, and the leverage cap, the complaint route and the protection all follow the entity, not the brand.
Read the cost beside the deposit.
The median round turn across this country is 6.6 USD and the median minimum deposit 5.0 USD; a low deposit beside a wide spread takes the difference back on every trade.

FAQ

How many brokers qualify for this ranking in Saudi Arabia?: 57 of 80 brokers measured for this country qualify.
Which broker leads it, and on what basis?: ActivTrades leads it with a score of 4.47. The order is computed score, highest first; unscored brokers follow.
What does a trade typically cost here?: The median round turn - spread plus commission for one standard lot, in and out - is 6.6 USD across the brokers that publish both parts.
Why do some rows show a dash instead of a figure?: Because the broker does not publish that figure for this country. A dash is a statement about what is published, and a figure is never filled in from a group-wide page as if it applied locally.
Why are only ten brokers shown here?: This page explains the term; the ten illustrate it. The full ranking lists 57 of 80 and is one click away.

How this slice is scored

Slice score = 2 + 3 × weighted mean of the six axes; the swap-free fee and availability feed price and reliability. A missing axis drops out and weights are renormalised; group-wide figures never enter. Full methodology

Risk warning and affiliate disclosure

CFDs are complex instruments with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. A swap-free account removes overnight interest, not market risk. We earn a commission on some links; paid rows are marked and never ranked first.
