Summary:
On April 2, 2026, 21:00–23:59 UTC+3, new Forex and metal positions will have temporary margin limits of 1:100, raising potential risk.
In light of the recent escalation in geopolitical risks, and to effectively manage market risk, effective April 2, 2026, we will implement a temporary adjustment to margin requirements for newly opened positions during the final three hours before the market close on Thursday. The details are as follows:
Temporary Adjustment Period
April 2, 2026 21:00–23:59 (MT time, UTC+3)
During this period, margin requirements for newly opened positions will be calculated based on a maximum leverage equivalent to 1:100.
This adjustment applies only to new positions opened during the above time period;
Positions opened outside this period will not be affected;
If pending orders are triggered during this period, the resulting new positions will be subject to the leverage rules in effect at that time (where applicable, in accordance with our relevant policies);
This rule applies to all symbols using a floating leverage calculation mode, including:
Forex (Forex Major, Forex Cross, Forex Minor)
Metals (XAUUSD, XAGUSD)
If you hold both long and short positions in the same instrument and place new trades during the temporary adjustment period, the adjusted margin requirement may increase your total margin usage and, consequently, increase the risk of stop-out.
Please carefully evaluate your free margin and position size in advance, and plan your trading activities prudently.
The platform will update hedged margin rules from 30 April 2026, applying single-sided margin, which may increase margin use and liquidation risk.

From April 27, 2026, leverage and stop levels will tighten before market close, increasing margin requirements and potential liquidation risks.
