Based on my experience as a forex trader and after researching CANDEAL, I found that this broker primarily focuses on Canadian fixed income products and OTC derivatives, rather than providing standard forex trading typical of retail brokerages. Their platform, CanDeal Evolution, is structured around electronic marketplaces for institutional fixed income trading. The information provided does not specify leverage ratios for major forex pairs, which is an important detail I always look for before considering a broker. This omission stands out to me, since responsible brokers typically make leverage terms clear due to the material impact leverage has on trading risk and capital requirements. From what is publicly available, CANDEAL is strictly regulated by CIRO in Canada and operates as a market maker in its asset classes. In the Canadian regulatory environment, leverage for derivatives and fixed income instruments is subject to much tighter controls compared to offshore or CFD-focused brokers, and maximum leverage is usually far more conservative—sometimes as low as 10:1 or lower—especially for institutional platforms. For someone like me, who values transparency and clear terms, the lack of published details around leverage for either forex or other instruments reinforces my cautious approach. It’s critical to clarify leverage directly with CANDEAL before trading, as overleveraging is a key risk—especially in regulated markets where leverage rules can differ significantly between asset classes and client types. Without explicit leverage figures for forex pairs or other products, I would recommend contacting their support directly to avoid any ambiguity.
