These fields vary by program and we could not confirm them from the firm's own current terms, so we show them as Verify rather than invent a number: Max leverage, US residents eligible, Weekend holding. Confirm each on the firm's own site before you buy - a wrong consistency or drawdown number is what voids payouts.
