Summary:
From January 23, 2026, new positions opened in the last 30 minutes before Friday's market close will have a margin requirement of 1:200.
To effectively manage market risk while minimizing the impact on your normal trading activities, effective January 23, 2026, we will implement a temporary adjustment to margin requirements for newly opened positions during the final 30 minutes before the Friday market close. The details are as follows:
Temporary Adjustment Period: Every Friday 23:30–23:59 (MT time, UTC+2).
During this period, margin requirements for newly opened positions will be calculated based on a maximum leverage equivalent to 1:200.
This adjustment applies only to new positions opened during the above time window;
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.
From Mar 6, 2026, new positions opened during the final three hours of Friday trading will face a 1:100 leverage cap across floating-leverage Forex and metals.
