In the US, most retail investors are limited to 2x leverage for new positions, and 4x leverage for existing positions. This is the "Reg T" margin system. If you qualify for the "Portfolio Margin" system (usually offered to customers with account values greater than 100k or 250k), you can do up to 6.66x leverage in a stock-only position.
